0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sci-Fi Sci, a podcast about black science fiction, fantasy and |
0:07.8 | staying on the same page and this wonderful pleasurable marriage! I'm one of |
0:13.2 | your incredible hosts Amber Wallen. I'm Ben. Ben, welcome to the show. Do you know |
0:17.6 | what episode this has been? Episode 17. So this is episode 17 and we sat down and |
0:24.2 | read the book Riot Baby by Tochi on Yebuchi. Ben, I'm laughing because we have |
