This week we interview the Space Kiwi, Grace Bridges. (10 nerd points for everyone who knows why she has that nickname!)
We start off with Aaron knowing who he is for once… sort of…
The Week Of Firsts continues, as we don’t emediently imediently imediantly right away start off down a rabbit trail! (I know, I can’t believe it either! – Aaron)
Ah, that’s better, a side discussion on philosophy. Much better…
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: The question “Is there an author who’s favorite superhero ISN’T Batman?” has been answered! (You’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out who…)
We talk about favorite movies, and Aaron brings up Earth Star Voyager… and no one else has ever heard of it. Sigh. Grace’s favorite captain is no surprise to any of us. Aaron opines about Voyager, but does state that Season 3, Episode 7, “Sacred Ground” is one of the best hours of sci-fi ever, except for one tiny flaw…
In part two, we start things off right. That’s right, we’re immediately sidetracked talking about tea. (And Aaron manages to insult Liberty’s favorite–Earl Grey–while she’s drinking it.)
Grace next mentions here favorite book, and we follow that up with a discussion of the metric system. (No, the two are not related… at all…)
We manage to ask a few relevant questions, before we get sidetracked by cats (which Liberty may or may not have edited out.) Then we talk about marketing, which Grace does know something about. You’ll have to listen to figure out how to get more people to open your e-mails…
