Welcome to Todd & Preston's Drive-Time Discussion Hour. Due to Andruw having a scheduling conflict and Dave falling asleep before we were supposed to record, Todd & Preston ended up improvising their own two-person episode. As Preston put it, this is like the discussion we might have during a car ride. So, the runtime is over an hour, and the car ride is imaginary, but the conversation is real.

To give a little structure to the conversation, Todd & Preston asked each other the following main questions.

- What favorite TV shows have we found via syndication?

- What kinds of movies & TV shows have we enjoyed in the space opera sub-genre of sci-fi?

- What technology would we *not* want humanity to have?

- Do we have any guilty pleasures?

- What kinds of classes have we played or want to play in Dungeons & Dragons?

But, thanks to a lot of tangents, comparisons, and other references, many geeky things were mentioned, including (but not limited to)...

#Babylon5

#Continuum

#DCU

#DoctorWho

#DungeonsAndDragons

#IExpectYouToDie

Slide over the pile of jackets and cloth grocery bags in the back seat, climb in, and listen now to find out which roads Todd & Preston traverse in this special improvised Sunday drive down a...highway of geekiness...(?!?)... (Ooh, sorry, typing this at a late hour after two glasses of wine is causing the whole drive-time discussion metaphor to fall apart. You get the idea. We talk about stuff. Have a listen.)

And, stay tuned for several installments of Star Wars related discussions. First will be one more "lost/unearthed" episode...a general Star Wars discussion recorded back in late 2020, never published, and now ready to release into Wild Space. After that, we will release the topic of Favorite & Least Favorite Star Wars Movies, which is finally recorded and long enough to be split into two installments...our first two-parter since September 2021. Just for a little shameless self-promotion, our previous multi-parters were...

- #023 & #031 - "The Adjustment Bureau" and "Adjustment Bureau Overflow - The Works of Philip K. Dick"

- #034, #035, and #036 - Dungeons & Dragons One-Shot Radio Play, Parts 1 to 3

- #037 & #039 - Favorite Sci-Fi TV Characters, Parts 1 & 2

- #044 & #045 - Best & Worst TV Series Finales, Parts 1 & 2

- #066 & #067 - "The Lord of the Rings" Film Trilogy Review, Parts 1 & 2

- #069 & #070 - Dragon Con 2021, Part 1 ("Pre-Con - What is Dragon Con?") and Part 2 ("Post-Con - How Did It Go?")
