Welcome to Show #108!

George Johnsen
Interview: This week, George Johnsen, Babylon 5 co-producer (and apparently one of Jeffrey’s cohorts in mischief), at last joins us!

Jeffrey had been trying for a while to get George on the show, but George is a busy busy guy. He’s worked on a lot of the films and shows we love, and he loves the scifi!

We talk to George about the show, including some of the questions sent in by listeners, and the anecdotes and production details are both fascinating and fall-down funny.

Did you know George was also an original Cylon? Summer didn’t, and that just warms her heart.

This is an interview you have to hear again and again, and you won’t care that it runs the full hour.

Your feedback does matter, and is welcome! You can call us at 206-338-2259, or email us and tell us what you think… and likely hear it played or read on the show. Please try to keep the voicemail comments as brief as possible.

Guess what? Thanks to “Babylon Podcast” listener Don McMillan, Summer is finally going to get copies of the remaining TNT B5 promos! Yes, once they’re ready, we’ll make them available for you to listen to and download.

    Awesome show! It was wonderful having George Johnsen on the show sharing his memories of Babylon 5 with Jeffrey and the rest of us. George did something quite amazing with Babylon 5 that really did change how the industry handles post- production. I hope you do more interviews of this sort. Thanks so much.
