Welcome to the seventh episode of this epic journey in Revisiting The X Files.

Through 11 seasons, two movies and several stand alone novels, these podcast episodes will be a discussion and revisitation of the series from the very beginning, exploring the good and the bad of every episode, and eventually coming to the point where every piece of the X Files puzzle has been set in place.

So please join me over the coming months and, dare I say it, years, as we dive into The X Files.

Today's seventh episode is our first with a guest. I invite my eldest daughter Jessica onto the program, to discuss her own journey with The X Files. We talk about how she discovered the show, her impressions on the dynamic between the show's stars, her favourite characters from the run and of course her favourite episodes. This will hopefully be a regular episode as we complete each season of The X Files. Jess is as entertaining as she always is with some candid responses.
