SF Signal’s Mind Meld
SF Signal is one of my favorite scifi blogs. Go check it out for yourself, and see what I mean. I also enjoy the variety of contributors John pulls from for the MIND MELD Q&A series. Last year, I was a respondent to the question “What’s Your Favorite Sub-genre of SF or Fantasy?”, and this [...]
Pak’ma’ra and Zombies
I have a feeling that this topic will not go away any time soon, and it’s our own damned fault for going down the crazy trail chasing the idea. Feel free to add your own theories on whether the Pak’ma’ra would consume zombie flesh. Would Pak’ma’ra consider them dead, and thus carrion for the taking, [...]
No Live Feed 8/26/09
There will be no live feed this week. We’re currently ahead by a week, so the hard working staff is taking a night off. Thanks to everyone for sharing in the joy of making the podcast on the live feed. We’ll be back next week with new insanity. See you on the other side of [...]
Babylon Podcast: new website look
Along with the changes to the show post information, I’ve also been working on a new layout for the website. The main “shows” listing in the blue navbar will give a listing of all shows, so it’ll be easier for folks to see at a glance which show contains which interviews. The “year” listings will [...]
Playing with Minor Site Updates
We’ve had a bunch of people mention that it would be nice to have a little more information in the titles about the content of the episodes. I’m also making mental notes about improvements to the site layout. First, what are your thoughts on having episode titles here be more like the ones we use [...]
Talking with Susie on How To Grow Your Geek
In all the excitement of our interview with JMS, I realized I hadn’t posted this: Susie the Southern Geek invited me to appear on her wonderful podcast, How To Grow Your Geek. Longtime listeners of the Babcast will recall that Susie lent her voice to the All-Girls’ Geekfest last year. We talked about a range [...]
No Live Feed this week
Since the interview with JMS last week has given us a little over 2 hours of podcast entertainment, we won’t be recording a show tonight. Besides, Mike Mennenga deserves a Wednesday off every now and again!
Added treats for Babylon Podcast subscribers
I have to toss a shout-out to Gary from Jacksonville for this one. He’d noticed that more podcasts were adding bells and whistles that enhance the listener experience, such as cute little displays for folks who use the iPhone and iPod Touch. So, starting with Show #160, people can choose to view the show notes [...]
Orbiter – your last, best time sink
In the wake of our conversation about the last mission to repair Hubble, John Bucsek sent us a link to Orbiter, a spaceflight simulator. A quick glance at the website reveals an app which realistically models the behavior of spacecraft, from liftoff to rendezvous to return. You can fly the Space Shuttle or the Deltaglider, [...]
Podcast Recording Update
Just an update for our faithful listeners: there will not be a recording or live feed tonight. However, we have some good news… Russ Johnson will be our guest next week. The man who was Kosh in “The Gathering” the first part of Season 1 will join us to chat about being the real First [...]
