Letters, Prompt #1
Here’s my first audio letter! Have a listen when you can spare 15 minutes.
I meant to get more philosophical, but tried to keep things short too. Feel free to expand on ideas broadly if the mood strikes you.
Record your response and send it to Rob as a .wav, if possible, however you like to share files.

Rob, Alex, Mike, and Leul are digging some of the unique parts of the TV version, like Imperial Cloning™ but it’s still not clear how things will play out for The Foundation on Terminus, and what seems to be an impending crisis.

In this discussion, Rob is joined by Alex Monroe who has just recently read the book and brings a fresher memory to some of the comparisons. We also try to step back and discuss the show on its own and some of the story developing in between Trantor and Terminus, which was not in the original book.

It’s finally here! Actually, a there are a few episodes out already. Apple surprised us with two episodes on the first day, but we’ll be spacing everything out one week at a time on this podcast.
We’ll also try to stick to just a short half hour chat on these, unless there’s an appetite for more, let us know!
In this discussion, Rob is joined by Mike Rapin and we try to recall what we read years ago and also react to some of the totally new direction the TV series is taking us.

Apple has created a TV series based on the science fiction series, Foundation, by Issac Asimov. This is like the sci-fi genre equivalent of Lord of the Rings within the Fantasy genre and Rob is VERY excited!
Sorry to get back on topic will be running a weekly mini-series to discuss the TV show and possibly the book as well. We can react to the production, story telling, subtle winks to the original work, or a commentary of what the ideas mean to us. It’s up to you!
Come join us on Discord after every episode, or jump in half-way through, it doesn’t matter.
We’ll edit and post the discussion shortly after for anyone who missed it. Hope you’re excited, and hope you can join in!

Rob didn’t check his microphone and it was a bit hot – sorry about that!
In this casual hangout episode, Alex and Rob talk about work, and about their vacation to Chicago that included go kart racing. This leads to a nice tangent about Formula 1 racing and of course a bit about Tesla too.
