42: Destiny Arrives All the Same
Dread it. Run from it. We will circle back around to talking about Destiny. And now, it's here. Or should I say, Better Worlds 42 is. Also, the robot dinosaur concierge revolution.

In this episode we discuss a couple interesting articles covering The Field Museum, user interfaces for mummies, and dinosaurs. We also return to Solo for some items we missed, including the more-controversial-than-it-should-be question of which Star Wars movies people are allowed to like.

Words for Worlds
For me, what makes this such an enjoyable podcast is that it makes me appreciate the subject matter being discussed more than I would have without it. The Rogue One episode fleshed out the movie in very specific ways and deepened my understanding of the subtleties. They know their stuff.
Also, the podcasters avoid falling into the trap of inside jokes within a group of familiar friends. They are aware of an outside audience and are cognizant of the need for explanation when it's warranted.
I look forward to their thoughts on other geek items and media.
