Show Notes

In this episode we discuss the affect the movie Westworld had on us as kids, and try to figure out why its' "anti-technology" message did not resonate.  This episode also includes a remastered version of "Sharpshooter", the Westworld themed story from way back in Season 1.

PS: We will soon have new branding by professional graphic designer and podcast listener Daryl Litts.   Watch this space
