Well, this was a tough one, folks...  We spend the first quarter of this episode explaining a loss we've experienced on and off the podcast and why one of us is no longer with us.

With no super-smooth transition possible after that, we do try to carry on with our usual geeky topics...

 - What TV shows have we been watching lately, including Marvel & DC related shows?

 - Which co-host is watching the Critical Role cartoon "Vox Machina"?

 - What do Dave & Todd think about the current season of "Outlander"?  (A couple more episodes have come out since we recorded this episode; Todd is impressed.)

 - How many current & recent big-screen movie releases has Dave caught up on lately, and what did he think of them all?

 - What YouTube channels does Todd recommend?

 - What is the TV show "Lore" all about?

 - What do we think about the whole Oscars/Smith/Rock/Slap incident, and does one of us think it might have been staged?

 - What accent does Todd need to improve on for his new D&D character?

 - What kind of characters are Andruw & Preston playing in the new D&D campaign?

 - And, what's the current news with "Babylon 5," "Stargate," and "The Orville."

Listen now, for the answers to these and other poignant questions.

SPECIAL THANKS to the "Katrina & Friends" YouTube channel and specifically Daniel Beachy, Dave Miller, and David Fisher, for their moving cover of the gospel song "Angel Band," and for giving us permission to use the song in this episode (at the very end) for a very special reason.

Check out the video of their performance of the song here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktthBzyJ_rY

Also, my sincerest apologies for the bad audio on my (Todd's) track.  Somehow I didn't notice that the built-in microphone on my laptop was inadvertently set as the input instead of my podcasting microphone.  Of all the episodes to make that mistake on, this was the worst one for me to do that on.  I wish I could go back and time, but sadly, I'm not Marty McFly from "Back to the Future" or Claire Fraser from "Outlander."
