If all goes well, we'll have some actual discussions (as in between people) for upcoming shows. For today, we have a quick show about Stephen Coonts's Vietnam War thriller Flight of the Intruder which was the basis for a less than stellar 1991 motion picture.

This episode I:
  1. Predict upcoming changes
  2. Summarize Flight of the Intruder
  3. Discuss the book's portrayal of life as a naval aviator in the Vietnam War

Perhaps somewhere deep inside, I was thinking of all the reading before me in the just begun fall quarter when I chose to discuss Pandora's Star. The plot summary was so long, the discussion ran out of steam; so add to it with comments!

This episode I:
  1. Play a promo from PodCulture
  2. Summarize Peter F. Hamilton's Pandora's Star
  3. Talk about the costs and benefits of standing armies/navies
  4. Ask for feedback
  5. Correct a typo
