Ernesto had the time of his life on the Star Trek Cruise and tries to sell us a timeshare.

Ben Curley: mild-mannered mortgage underwriter by day, insane improv genius at night. Also fantasizes about "dumping" Quark. Enjoy the frequent connection drops (Ben's fault!) and my congestion!

This episode is a glorious mess. Voice hails, uncontrollable laughter, an appearance by renowned horror character Dr. Giggles, regional rivalries, purse theft, and my grandma. Have a seat in the chair and try to survive this episode of the FacePod...IF YOU DARE.*

*All dares expire now.

Joseph Campbell beams in to talk writing, Dorothy Fontana, corporate mergers, and we break ground on his new, spinoff podcast. Also, meet my grandma.

Justine Lustig beams in to discuss the organic farm life, fires, cows, and how the little things make Trek great. WARNING: Wholesomeness ensues.

We've finally crossed over to the mirror universe! Mike Mann takes over at FacePod helm, and let's just say thank you to Brian South for being a sport about it. That said, we cover banking, improv, sing the song of the south, and disturb an infant. So, overall? Rousing success.

Q: What do you do when your previously-confirmed podcast guest doesn't show up?

A: Pass the annoyance onto the listener.

Jordan Maywood guests on a podcast for the first time, despite having recorded over 500 episodes of his own! We talk Trek, Jordan's D&D campaigns, and how we spent the extra daylight savings hour.

Devan James braves listener questions and discusses how life in London, Ontario differs from life in Ontario, England.

Kyle Barker, the madman behind TNC comics, brings the FacePod back to life with a snap of his fingers, and immediately regrets it.
