Well, we're between books this episode, so we decided to read "The Robot Chronicles" from the Great and Glorious Az's Gold: The Final Science Fiction Collection.  It's an essay in which Asimov discusses his robot stories, their inspirations, and their milestones.

So far, I've found Gold enjoyable.  It contains the last of Asimov's science fiction short stories, essays about his stories, and essays about writing Science Fiction.  He insists, by the way, that Science Fiction be abbreviated "SF" and not "sci-fi." You can find out why and read "The Robot Chronicles" and the rest of Gold here.

But, really, the bulk of this episode is an engaging and free-wheeling conversation with our special guest Travis Johnson, whom you may know from Twitter as @travisjohnson and/or @startravcommand.  He's one of the hosts of the Black Alert Podcast and created, with his 11-year-old daughter, a Star Trek Prodigy podcast called Star Trek Podigy. He has also published A Matter of Right: Futures of Justice, a "science fiction comics and prose anthology" about the US criminal justice system.  Join us as we discuss Robots, Foundation, all things Asimov, and more!  You don't want to miss this one!
