Jeffrey MarracciniLate to the party but enjoying the back catalog!I subscribed to Babylon Podcast, Slice of SciFi, and Writers, After Dark recently after a great friend mentioned them to me. Wow, did I miss out, but I am super grateful to Summer and the supporters of Slice of SciFi for making the back catalog available! Summer and collaborators have produced a huge catalog of awesome author, cast, staff, and other interviews, along with their insightful commentary, on a vast variety of subjects. Babylon 5 fans are very well served, of course, but I am blown away by Summer’s explorations with her podcast collaborators and guests in other shows, books, and authors! Highly recommend! Check out the back catalog of many, many hours of some of the best interviews I have heard!
