Stars End: A Foundation Podcast - Episode 4 - A Podcast is the Last Refuge of the Incompetent

Episode 4 - A Podcast is the Last Refuge of the Incompetent

06/08/21 • 56 min

Our fourth episode, "A Podcast is the Last Refuge of the Incompetent" is now available for your edification. We've run out of Laws of Robotics and have moved on to famous Salvor Hardin aphorisms. That's a bit more on-brand for a Foundation podcast.

We talk about "The Traders," part four of Foundation. This story first appeared, with surprisingly little fanfare in the October 1944 issue of Astounding under the title "The Wedge."

In addition we have our second Apple Plus Minute and another edition of Asimov Trivia with a new contestant and a new quiz master.

Please join us! We're looking forward to it and Hari Seldon already knows how it's going to end!
