A perfect podcast problem

This universal podcast is alive and they are in the know, wink, wink! A wonderful, cultural, educational and in depth look at the journey of the story, methodology and inspiration of the episodes and where necessary the books. The hosts are always entertaining, their fandom is very appealing and appropriate to this epic science fiction. The discourse of historical aspects are well presented, subsequently, the guests lend their experiences and/or passions to tapestry of these stories. A extremely enjoyable!

Physics Goes to Hollywood

Dr Maggie and Jason are wonderful hosts, sharing their enthusiasms while leaving plenty of space for their guests.

The guests are well chosen to illuminate the themes of the show, from scientific concepts to film production and character development.

This could easily be as big as Game of Thrones, and shares the theme of the rise and fall of civilisations and associated power struggles and political games.

Thanks to all involved. 📺✨🏄

Pity

Jung Chang has too specific a political axe to grind it won’t be fun to reduce this drama to her agenda. Other than that it is a very good show so a pity that you let someone like that speak as an authority.
