The Last Best Babylon 5 Podcast

If you, like me, love the 2004 Democratic Primaries and the National Convention, this is the show for you. They cover hits like Howard Dean's scream, John Kerry reporting for duty, and other classics in ways that other shows just can't manage. The hosts, Ben, Steve, and Sean give you a (sound board) sampling of some of the most unforgettable tricks and traps of modern democracy. In addition, they have a great selection of truly unlucky sponsors. I'm catching up on the back catalog, but now that we've gotten Answers, and that notorious Samuel Rosehill (?) is behind bars, maybe the Devlins will come out of hiding and return to their high-quality product pitches. Oh, there's also some stuff about a show called Babylon 5. Never heard of it.

I love the show, even though San Pel has more sugar than Coke has! We started watching B5 for the first time, and listening to this bland, monotone, Jeffrey Sinclair style podcast for wanderers. We’re up to S2E4 and would love to know how to hire a Seanio. Please let us know soon via a callout in an episode, so we’ll hear it in a year or so, as if you traveled through time to Babylon 4.

I originally submitted a review when I discovered the greatest lifestyle podcast in human history. To my dismay, it’s been replaced by a Crusade for Crusade?! Where’s the lifestyle tips? I’m glad we still have Sex Person of the week, but we all know Trace is the new Sinclair. That man is going to bang every alien he can get into his frictionless sheets! I have been searching high and low for a new lifestyle podcast, and this may be the greatest lifestyle podcast in history. It blew my mind harder than Kosh Blows on Sheridan’s pupon when I learned that in 2008 the Japanese Asahi group purchased Schweppes. It is by far THE most fun fact. It saddens me that the world will never know Warren Keffer’s pleasure threshold, but at least we know that Lyta doesn’t have one, making her the most powerful Jeffery Sinclair/Valen Sex Person of the universe.

These podcast episodes are long (roughly twice as long as the shows themselves), but the presenters have great chemistry and are all very entertaining. As a life-long fan of the show, I was a bit skeptical that listening to a podcast about a show I know so well would be a good use of time, but these three bring a unique perspective, and this has quickly become one of my favorite new discoveries.
