Well, the long drought is finally over. TrekWest5 has returned, and Peter and I are discussing "The Good Place!"

However, due to COVID-19, the podcast takes place over Zoom rather than in person - so no fancy microphones, audio quality is sub-par, and we didn't really do any edits - but we hope you guys all enjoy the return regardless!

I'm not going to try and capture the rating we gave for the episodes in TrekWest5 (Coronavirus Edition) #1: Welcome, everything is fine!

This podcast covers episodes 1-4 of The Good Place, Season 1.

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:

    What has happened to Peter and Joey since the last podcast

    Joey's Culture Corner: Defending Your Life

    How has the pandemic affected Joey and Peter?

    The Netflix Voltron - Possible content for a future podcast

    Joey's adventures trying to introduce The Good Place to his wife and children

    Why Peter's wife isn't watching The Good Place with us

    Music Intro: Oh, The Places You'll Go by I Fight Dragons
