Hey all, today's bonus content is the next in our series of showcase episodes.

0:04.3

Zach had a chat with Gabe Alvarez about Gabe's space opera StarCalled.

0:08.1

It is a really interesting conversation and a really cool show, and I hope you enjoy the showcase.

0:12.2

But first, I want to tell you about Tavoor.

0:14.5

Tavore is the app for fans of beer, craft brews, and trying new and exciting labels.

0:20.2

Once you sign up in the app, you can

0:21.5

choose the beers you're interested in, including two new ones daily, and add them to your

0:25.7

personalized crate. Pay for the beers as you add them, then ship whenever you're ready, and the

0:29.9

shipping price will not change with the size of your order. Tevor only works with independent

0:34.3

breweries around the world, and if you like trying new beers, it's much more cost-effective than buying and shipping one-offs. So, download Tavor on the Apple

1:09.8

we aim to give you some places to start. Okay, enjoy the showcase for now, and do keep an eye on this feed. With any

1:17.2

luck, I will have something cool to announce quite soon. Okay, talk to you then.

1:37.9

Hello, everyone. Today we are lucky enough to be joined by Gabe Alvarez, the creator of StarCalled podcast. Gabe, welcome. Thanks for being here.

1:44.6

And to our listeners who that name may sound familiar in our last interview with Jordan Cobb, Jordan spoke glowingly about StarCalled and about Gabe, and it's really an incredible show.

1:49.5
