    Babylon Podcast #293: B5 on The CW in 2023 #B5onCWin23

    Discussion: JMS called. We answered. The hashtag that surpassed The Queen's Funeral on Twitter for a few hours on Sep 20. Of course we had to talk about it. So we answered the call, and hopped in a conference call to discuss things.

    Babylon Podcast #292: A Show and its Writers Room

    Speculation: Time changes us all, in many ways. So given how busy JMS is writing many things other than new stories for the new Babylon 5, it isn't likely he'll want to or be able to do all the writing himself. So naturally, Tim posits the questions about writers and writers rooms, and we run amok from there.

    Babylon Podcast #291: The Once and Future Space Opera

    Babylon Podcast #291: The Once and Future Space Opera

    Discussion: Tim and Summer just can't help themselves. We indulge in some wildly unfounded speculation on the announcements about the new Babylon 5 series, plus ask a few questions out loud about what we could be watching on The CW someday.

Jeffrey Marraccini ,

Late to the party but enjoying the back catalog!

I subscribed to The Babylon Podcast, Slice of SciFi, and Writers, After Dark recently after a great friend mentioned them to me. Wow, did I miss out, but I am super grateful to Summer and the supporters of Slice of SciFi for making the back catalog available! Summer and collaborators have produced a huge catalog of awesome author, cast, staff, and other interviews, along with their insightful commentary, on a vast variety of subjects. Babylon 5 fans are very well served, of course, but I am blown away by Summer’s explorations with her podcast collaborators and guests in other shows, books, and authors!

Highly recommend! Check out the back catalog of many, many hours of some of the best interviews I have heard!

Fitting tribute to one of the greatest shows

I’m not going to vouch for the production quality, as it has always had some difficult moments.

I will vouch for their thoroughness and guest interviews! Wow! Thank you Summer and Tim (and Jeffrey) for keeping the flame lit! This has been one of my favorite podcasts for a long time!

The Definitive B5 Guide

The Babylon Podcast is an archive for the ages. Our one last hope for the interviews, insight and deep analysis of Babylon 5. Funny and warm hearted, Summer and Tim take you through all the highs and low of the series and are alway on point with the exception of Tim’s comet. Dive deep into the brilliance that is the Babylon 5 podcast.
