So here we are, late, meandering but here nonetheless. Incidentally, I'd thought of really working the "anatomy of" angle but forgot about it so it dangles there, anyone who�s seen Discovery Channel in the past years will recall the series.

This episode I:
  1. Discuss the show's military depiction
  2. Talk of the moral troubles faced thus far
  3. Recommend the Combat Information Center, Galactica Actual, Galactica Watercooler and Battlestar Galactica podcasts
This epsiode, I used clips from the tthree sources, the miniseries, "Water" and "Act of Contrition."

Okay, a bit late but here we are. This series was just way too big to cover well so I just touched on some points that I thought were interesting. I'd love to hear others' opinions of the story or of the concept of alternate history; I just think it's a great load of fun.

This episode I:
  1. Gab on about life
  2. Frame Harry Turtledove's alternate American history
  3. Discuss how telling the story differently effects perceptions
  4. Talk about the one moment that changed history
  5. Reference a story by Turtledove on Escape Pod

It's been 27 days since the last episode and I thought an explanation was due; mainly because I'm going to have to ask listeners to wait another two weeks for an episode.

Thanks again to Eliz from Two Girls and a Podcast for the birthday message.
