The Earth Station One Podcast

On this episode, the station is full to the brim with folks celebrating the life and career of "The Father of Speculative Fiction," "The Patron Saint of Steampunk," "The Shaper of Things to Come," "History's Awesome Outliner," and "That Strange Gent from Kent," Herbert George Wells. Showing the Wellsian love along with Mike, Mike, Jenn, and the award-winning author Bobby Nash are Mark Maddox and Sean Taylor (two award-winners in their own right), Doctor Q (soon to win an award in something), and Drew Meyer (who should get an award for suffering through The Geek Seat).
