In Episode 39, we ask Three Questions that reveal our true lack of integrity, before exploring the Question: Does pop culture influence reality more than reality influences pop culture?
Next week’s sure to ignite a firestorm of geektastic propportions between Melissa (a Mac user) and Sean (a PC user) as we tackle the Question: Why are people brand loyal, and is that a bad thing?

The ESW crew was preparing an intense look at the second half of series 7 when it was announced that the 11th Doctor will say good bye at the end of the year. Mike, Mike, Phantom Troublemaker, Jennifer Hartshorn, Lady Soliloque, and Drew Meyer express their thoughts on the unexpected changing of the guard along with the past season that was. And we even find some time to revisit the Fifth Doctor and Earthshock (which was as impactful in its day as the departure of Matt Smith was to us this weekend).
The ESO crew fights for survival against impossible odds (last time we let JD use the microwave and copier at the same time) and Mike, Mike, Jennifer, and the award-winning author Bobby Nash, reminisce with author Lisa Matthews Collins about some of greatest disaster stories of all time. Despite the station falling apart around us, we still take time to strap writer Drew Leiter in The Geek Seat and talk to Marc Ballard about the upcoming Knoxville Comic and Anime Show. Plus, the usual Rants, Raves, and Shout Outs! Don’t you worry, the ESO will survive! Uh, any listeners out there spare some duct tape?
Only three months left until Dragon*Con! Remember costumers, the more sewing you do now, the less you’ll have to do last-minute and the more buckets of rum you can enjoy! While you’re working on your outfit, feel free to listen to Mike, Mike, Darren, and Mary chat with Doctor Q, the Alternative History Track director, Talloolah Love, the producer of the Pin Ups by the Pool and Glamor Geek Revue events, and Brian Richardson, co-founder of DCTV. Plus, we also offer a “Guide for the Socially Awkward” to help those not used to the con life. So listen up! Dragon*Con is only a June, July, and August away and there’s still so much work to be done!

The Earth Station One crew attended two very cool conventions over the Memorial Day weekend. Mike Faber and Jennifer Hartshorn were guests at TimeGate along with fellow ESO Network personalities Dr. Scott (Doctor Geeks Laboratory), Jason and Rita (Transmissions from Atlantis), Debbie Vigue (The Thirteenth Hour), and Phantom Troublemaker (Earth Station Who). They found time to interview the amazing Moxie Magnus and there’s a rumor going around that they even met a Doctor! Meanwhile, Mike Gordon and the award-winning author Bobby Nash crossed state lines for the Alabama Phoenix Festival, where they met up with Joe Crowe (RevolutionSF podcast) and finally tied Van Allen Plexico (White Rocket podcast) to The Geek Seat!
