Podcast # 367 – “Babylon 5” – 1201.22
This weekend we have a special guest host, Dave who will be taking you through the early days of the TV series, "Babylon 5." Way back in May of 2008 on podcast # 172 I did a show on this series but it's definitely time to learn more about this very cool, Sci-Fi drama. I'll turn over the notes now to Dave so he can tell you what you will be hearing on his guest cast...

Podcast # 366 – “Hope and Fear” – 1201.15

Vidcast # 364 – Secret Santa’s – 1201.01
We have a special New Year's Day treat for all of you. This week we have a big, video podcast (or vidcast) that is a group of video's sent in from those that participated in the Secret Santa exchange over on the forum. I think we had a total of twelve of us exchanging secret gifts and you get to see most of those in this vidcast.
