THIS WEEK'S MISSION: If you're anything like me, you've often wondered, "Where's Katie Sackhoff?" She killed it as Starbuck on BSG...so where'd she go? In this episode...WE FIND OUT!   THIS WEEK'S CREW: SF023 stars two of my favorite podcasters: Kevin Cole & Jeff Pennington. Kevin DM's a D&D podcast called Pretend Friends, and Jeff runs a Star Trek podcast called M-Class. I love both of these dudes, and after you listen, you will too!

We're back! After a long hiatus spent making 983 other podcasts, Science Friction warps in with all-new episode! And this time, we embrace the NEW. Forget that crusty ol' TNG – this week, we review episodes of 2018's hottest sci-fi shows, including Lost In Space, The Expanse and Altered Carbon. Never heard of those shows? Me neither – I googled "new sci-fi that the kids like" and just rolled with it, baby!

  THIS WEEK'S MISSION:   THE GREAT VOYAGER DEBATE!!   No joke: my two guests Marly Halpern-Graser & Josie Campbell love Voyager. Josie likes it more than Deep Space Nine, which is insane to me, but god damn if she didn't make some pretty compelling points. We spend over a goddamn hour REALLY hashing out Voyager.   It's an intense thrill ride of non-stop pedantry, ONLY ON SCIENCE FRICTION!!!     THIS WEEK'S CREW:   Marly Halpern-Graser     |     @MarlyHG Josie Campbell     |     @CozyJamble     PRODUCED BY ZWICK!!!

THIS WEEK'S MISSION: I talk with two of my favorite people – animation writers Marly Halpern–Graser & Josie Campbell school me on how to write for Batman, The Teen Titans, and pretty much all the DC superheroes that you've ever seen on Cartoon Network.  Plus: we talk about how we're GOING to talk about Voyager, but never get around to it, so you'll hear that in the NEXT episode!   THIS WEEK'S CREW: Josie Campbell     |      @CozyJamble Marly Halpern–Graser     |     @MarlyHG

THIS WEEK'S MISSION: I'm joined by my comedy heroes from the legendary Chicago sketch comedy troupe Superpunk! You can hear their podcast here – I suggest starting with episode 11. THIS WEEK'S CREW: Mike Betette     |     @Betette Phillip Mottaz     |     @PhillipMottaz

THIS WEEK'S MISSION: It's our first ever digital-cyber call episode!

THIS WEEK'S MISSION: I had to move heaven and earth, but I finally scheduled two bona-fide Star Wars experts to REALLY get into The Last Jedi. Joining me: Pete the Retailer from Star Wars Minute, and Cake Boss Ralph, who crashed on my couch after the recording in his Chewbacca PJ's!   THIS WEEK'S CREW: Pete The Retailer     |     @PeteTheRetailer Cake Boss Ralph     |     @CakeBossRalph

THIS WEEK'S MISSION: Live from a way-too-nice-thanks-to-Hotwire hotel room in Chicago!
