Babylon Podcast #203: Religion in Babylon 5
Tim was inspired by our discussion on “River of Souls”, which leads to tonight’s topic. Tim, Summer and Gary discuss religion, faith and spirituality as portrayed in Babylon 5.

Thank You, Mr. Morden
As mentioned, here’s the gift Starstuff got for us at the recent FedCon in Bonn, Germany, where Ed Wasser was the Master of Ceremonies.
Babylon Podcast #202: River of Souls (Movie)
Summer wishes that we’d had more of a heads-up about Amazon’s $100 sale on all 5 seasons of Babylon 5, so that we could encourage a buying frenzy and start an entirely new round of Deep Geeking on the series. Anything we can do to keep the podcast going.

Babylon Podcast #201: Interview with Leslie Erganian (Prop Designer)
Leslie Erganian, artist and prop designer for Season 1, joins us to talk about the scrounging and other creative solutions that went into creating many of the iconic props seen in Season 1.
Leslie talks about the craft behind making such items as the Grey Council staff, the translator, Adira’s star laces, the statue of the Li, the Centauri Goddess of Passion, and many more items, including the phenomenon of bilateral symmetry in the alien races, and the utensil challenges that not having it can cause at Craft Services.
