The Live Long and Podcast crew continues their journey through Season 4 of For All Mankind with Episode 3, "The Bear Hug" (2023). In 2003, the world is shifting on every frontier: a coup brews in the USSR, Mars becomes a hub for black market deals, and Earth tightens its grip on science and survival. From Margo's interrogation in Star City to Kelly and Aleida's biotech struggles, Ed's worsening tremors, and Miles' risky schemes, tensions rise as personal reckonings collide with political power plays. Join our panel of sci-fi enthusiasts as they unpack the drama, the strategy, and the quiet revolutions shaping this bold new chapter.
