The iOtians chat about Brendan P Bellecourt's new sci-fi novel, Absynthe. Then they revisit the wacky world of Kepler 22-B in Raised by Wolves Season 2. And, they chat about the Mandalorian's off-season run. Or is it Luke's Jedi Academy? Oh, that's right ... it's the Book of Boba Fett! Finally, we get another Five Minutes of Culture with Jake! He covers a comprehensive audiobook/sci-fi course.
Note: Due to popular demand we went back to the original Season 1 theme music!

Our good friend Mike recently lost his friend Andy to Friedrichs Ataxia, a degenerative neuromuscular disease in the Muscular Dystrophy family. Andy visited our college several times. I was struck by how he took the time to listen and would give encouraging advice. I recently learned that he was a big fan of the 1951 film The Thing from Another World (John Carpenter's 1982 film The Thing is based on this). It was his Saturday-night ritual to watch this movie. We're going to watch it on a Saturday night to pay tribute to Andy.
The Thing from Another World (1951) directed by Christian Nyby and Howard Hawkes (uncredited)
