KAMN Show #30: Galactic Patrol
Feature Discussion: Tim and David give an overview of the book and the plot summaries, while Summer saves most of her commentary for the later dissection of the storytelling style. It’s an engaging space-faring adventure, although it’s easy to see how the writing style could make it harder for those more sophisticated reading tastes to easily become lost in the story if they’re reading them for the first time.
Show #30: Pre-show Discussion
Show #30 will be about E. E. “Doc” Smith’s “Galactic Patrol”, part of the classic Lensman series.
KAMN Show #29: Colossus: The Forbin Project
Feature Discussion: Summer, Dave and Brian give an overview of the film, and discuss some of the relatively ground-breaking computer usage (for 1970), and talk a bit about the understated acting performances and how they help create create the slow build up of human desperation in the face of an powerful and inscrutable adversary.
Back in the Saddle
The Ninjas are returning, very soon now, with a pretty cool episode about Colossus: The Forbin Project, the 1970 film starring Eric Braeden.

KAMN Show #28: A Fire Upon the Deep

Latest Joe Update
Joe has been moved into hospice care and he will not be with us for much longer. That’s about as straightfoward as I can make a very painful and fucked up situation.
Podcasts with an Old School Feel
Yes, I’ve been known to go trawling on the podcast waves, looking for other scifi and fantasy related podcasts, and podcasts about old shows. Since I’m doing one for Babylon 5, I like to see what other older shows people out there are geeking about.
