Summary
Look out, everyone: This week's episode is an all-timer! We've got the one and only Ron Moore in the STUDIO. I am still so intimidated by Ron and it was such an honor to sit down with him for this conversation. If you DON'T know Ron Moore, I don't even know what to say. He created Battlestar Galactica, Outlander and For All Mankind. He spent a decade writing for Star Trek, on both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. His mark on American sci-fi is massive and I can't believe I get to call him my friend. We talk about all things Battlestar, including a really beautiful conversation about the show's ending. We talk about how he got his start writing for Trek, what he's learned from the characters he's created and what's next on the horizon for him. I know you'll enjoy this conversation, it's one of my absolute favorites. After the interview, stick around for a tease of next week's episode— We've got something super-fun and special planned for you! Come see us live in Indiana!

| 1:19.0 | You guys, I was so nervous for this interview because I have said from the moment I met Ron Moore that if I was a fly on the wall of his brain, I would explode because there's so |
| 1:25.4 | much in there. |
| 1:26.3 | He is one of the most extraordinary people that I know. |
