Galactic Driftwood

"It's time to upgrade my optics to iEyes 3.0." What's going to happen when the sun finally gets tired of our BS and sends a nice little flare to half-bake the planet? It's a pretty fun and happy question for the last show of 2021. Thankfully, we'll be answering the question by watching Finch, currently streaming on AppleTV+, and Automata (available for rent through multiple sources). Whatever happens, it seems like robots are going to be pretty big in the end times so we are there for it! Come and join us for another week of nerd talk and end of the world speculation!

"Silent Night, Blasphemous Night. Great Ones reign, Death's in sight!" Welcome to another Christmas episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. We're once again joined by show favorite Stu Burns to talk about the darker aspects of the holiday season! This time we're going to talk about Elves, a horror series now streaming on Netflix, and talking about the folklore that inspired it. We'll also talk about Santa's dark brother, Krampus and his role in holiday lore. Just remember, that when someone wishes you a Merry Christmas, they might not be talking about a visit from Saint Nick! Merry Christmas, everyone! Bwahahahaha!

“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend” – Robert Jordan. Welcome back for a new episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we’re talking about The Wheel of Time, the show, not the books, now airing on Amazon Prime. While that should be enough for any one podcast, we’re also going to touch base on The Expanse, The Witcher and more!

1) A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Science fiction is full to bursting of what will happen at the advent of the Singularity, or the robot uprising...but what's it going to look like in real life? This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're looking at some of the latest technology news, including robots with realistic human expressions and motion, and self-reproducing xenobots. What's the world going to look like when the robots are taking peoples' jobs? Plus we'll talk about Elon Musk's most recent stumbling in communicating with humans. All this and more, in this week's Galactic Driftwood Podcast!

Truth is stranger than fiction...and our fiction is pretty strange! Welcome back to the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we are, once again, joined by our good friend Stu Burns! He's here this week to talk about Bigfoot, Nebraska Tourism, and the odd intersection of those two subjects. But first, Bill and Linda will regale us with tales of how they survived the Martian menace at this year's Teslacon! Tune in for another awesome episode!

Welcome to the 100th episode of the Galactic Driftwood podcast! We wanted to do kind of a retrospective on the previous 99 episodes with guests that we've had on over the course of our run. And this was our mistake! This week we're joined by Stu Burns (who will be back for the next episode) and Benito Garcia. Our plans went out the window when Seth and Benito got talking about 3d Printing (drove on by questions from the cast) and what resulted is a great primer if you're interested in 3d printing. Or if you just like hearing a couple nerds go on about their new hobby for a while. Either way, we hope you enjoy our 100th episode! We're looking forward to making another 100 episodes for you our wonderful listeners!

Gilgamesh was best. Don't @ me. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're going back to the movies!

We've all got thoughts on Marvel's newest addition to the MCU and we're eager to share them with you, with the forewarning that ahead there be SPOILERS! Consider yourself warned. Leave a comment or a like and let us know what you think about the movie in the comments!

the next generation of the Internet combined with Virtual Reality.  What will it mean for you?  Will the metaverse just be a means for

Facebook to gobble up more of your metadata? 

Listen in and find out what we like and don’t like, the dangers,

pitfalls, and irritations we may encounter there.

"To succeed, planning alone is insufficient. One must improvise as well." - Isaac Asimov, Foundation This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're talking about AppleTV's new show Foundation, based on Isaac Asimov's science fiction classic. Bill, in particular, has been looking forward to this show and has been reading the books to prepare. Join us as we discuss this epic of science fiction. Warning, here there be spoilers for both the show and the books!

The Spice Must Flow! Journey, once again, to Arrakis, the

Desert Planet, home to the Fremen and the giant sandworms, with the cast

of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. Granted, the story of Frank

Herbert's classic science fiction shouldn't need one, but spoiler

warning none-the-less. We're going to be talking about what happens in

the movie, characters and story points, so consider yourself forewarned.

Everyone all aboard the sandworm and get ready to join your water to

ours (not that way you sickos) because we're ready to hop on a Guild

transport and huff some spice!
