(Repost from the main page that I just posted up)

No time for a new podcast for the midweek today folks, but I will be hosting a live Skype call this coming Saturday night, October 21st starting at 7pm Eastern time. The first folks there will get to join in the call that I will be recording for a podcast. The subjects will be current Sci-Fi TV shows (like "Galactica", "Heroes") and our hopes for upcoming SF/Fantasy films like "Eragon" and "Pans Labyrinth." My Skype user id is: treksf. Hope you can stop by for the chat!

Hi Rico. Id love to participate in the Skype call but with the six hour time difference (Paris, France), I dont think Ill be able to participate. Looking forward to the new podcast though!

The funny thing the last few of these calls I did earlier in the day around 1-2pm my time. But don't worry, I will do another at an earlier time in the near future.

Ah well, unfortunately my wife has signed us up to participate in the "Light Up the Night" cancer walk for children with leukemia this Saturday night, so I likely won't be able to make it. It's just as well as I'm not up on the recent sci-fi you listed as the topics, and I likely won't see Eragon although Pan's Labyrinth looks promising. I am almost done with season one of Galactica, though, four more eps to go! I do want to do a Skype call sometime soon...hopefully one about Star Trek!

I don't think this is unfortunate.. this is a great thing you and your wife are doing. :cheers

There will be many more skype calls in the future.

No problem Joby - but we will miss you. Good luck with the walk!

Thanks everyone, I'm still not sure what the story is, though...my wife is trying to get out of our committment for this. As much as it is a good cause and all, she is a social worker for an oncology center at a major children's hospital in Philadelphia so she does alot of work every day for kids with cancer. Saturday is one of her few days off so she is a bit P.O.'d that she has to do this work related event this weekend. If she can get out of it she will and I'll try to make it for the call.

ELR is Extralife Radio run by Scott Johnson. Great website and podcast. Scott basically was one of the guys that got me interested in starting my own podcast. Check it all out here: http://www.myextralife.com/

Sorry that I was late, you guys, but thanks for letting me participate at the end. I look forward to listening to your Heroes and BG discussion on the podcast!

Was fun everyone! Thanks to those that could make it. I'll edit the show up a bit and post it up tomorrow for the weekly podcast.
