Do you prefer multistory episodes, single story episodes, or a mix? Let us know! In today's episode, we explore China's groundbreaking achievement in electromagnetic technology with their new 42.02 Tesla resistive magnet, a device powerful enough to charge 538 Tesla Model 3 batteries in an hour. This remarkable advancement at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Hefei marks a significant leap forward in scientific research capabilities, particularly in the fields of materials science and superconductivity.We then examine a potential turning point in America's battle with obesity, as CDC data reveals the first decline in adult obesity rates in over a decade. While overall rates have dropped from 41.9% to 40.3%, we unpack the complex story behind these numbers, including the rise in severe obesity and the impact of new weight-loss medications like Wegovy and Ozempic.Our deep dive explores the fascinating Grandfather Paradox, a classic thought experiment that challenges our understanding of time travel and causality. From its origins in 1920s science fiction to modern quantum mechanical solutions proposed by MIT scientists, we examine how this paradox continues to influence physics research and our understanding of the universe's fundamental nature.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/china-s-record-breaking-resist-qtushx6qT8mzl7rzAA2mowhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/us-may-have-passed-peak-obesit-XSA_EyqwRDu4Af6J1dD0HQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-grandfather-paradox-Saf_B.jeRx.h9JggbvIHowPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Edward joins the show to discuss his novel, his experience in the Space Shuttle Simulator, and what would really happen if some of our fears came to light. ****Before taking the plunge in 2004 into full-time writing, technologist turned author Edward M. Lerner spent thirty years in high tech at every level from engineer to senior vice president. Many novels later, he's glad (and still just slightly surprised) that he leaped.He worked at such techie havens as Bell Labs, Hughes Aircraft, and Northrop Grumman—and at a long-gone start-up of which you've likely never heard. He delivered high-tech products and systems to government agencies (including NASA, the FBI, and the Defense Department) and commercial customers as varied as AT&T and McDonald's. Along the way, he visited a satellite factory, flew the space shuttle training simulator, wandered about the space station trainer, and watched a space shuttle launch. Sooner or later, all that experience shows up in his fiction.Lerner's novels run the gamut from technothrillers like Energized (solar-power satellites), Small Miracles (medical nanotech), and Fools' Experiments (AI) to traditional science fiction, like Dark Secret and his InterstellarNet series, to (with NY Times bestselling author Larry Niven) the space epic Fleet of Worlds series. Ed's fiction has been nominated for Hugo, Prometheus, and Locus awards, and won the inaugural Canopus Award.Ed's short fiction has appeared in major science fiction magazines, anthologies, and collections. His short story “Grandpa?” became the award-winning short film “The Grandfather Paradox.”He also writes nonfiction, most notably Trope-ing the Light Fantastic: The Science Behind the Fiction. He also teaches the occasional writing class, blogs regularly on the state of science and SF. He has spoken at, among venues, the Library of Congress and the US Naval Academy. His fiction has been translated into ten languages.The varied career(s) didn't just happen: Ed's education is almost as eclectic, with degrees in physics, computer science, and business.Lerner is a member of the Science-fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and  SIGMA (not an acronym, and sometimes known as “The Science Fiction Think Tank”).Lerner was born in Chicago and has lived in Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. He now resides in Virginia.

Ladies at the Round Table: A Journey into the Realms of Sci-fi and Fantasy

Show Name: Travelers Season/Episode: S01 Date Aired:  Dec 23, 2016 Where Aired: Netflix linktr.ee/ladiesattheroundtable Twitter @LadiesAtRt_Pod Patreon.com/LadiesAtTheRoundTable Instagram @ladiesattheroundtable Plot Summary in a sentence Shoshie- A group of Agents from the future arrive in the bodies of people from our time just at the time of their death in order to carry out missions from the Director.  Maxx - People from the future take over people’s bodies right before they are about to die and some machine is telling them what to do. Joey - I don’t know what happened to the Grandfather Paradox, but apparently that’s called protocol 4 in the future, everyone takes directions from a super computer and that isn’t even the half of it.  Maya - People following a bunch of basic protocols from a destitute future come back in time by taking over people’s lives right before their time of death and pretend poorly to be them while also doing whatever they are told by the director/ai from the future. What’s your word? Shoshie- innovative  Maxx - control Joey - Nostalgia Maya - unnerving Favorite character this episode? Maxx - the farmer dude? They all were kinda sketch Joey - David  is my favorite non traveler. Phillip is my favorite traveler.  Maya - David also, although it was annoying how put together he was. Just a bit too nice and good and clean. I liked Grace/27 a bit too. Technical Talking Points (music, lighting, editing): Maxx : The music was nice and kinda eerie…? Joey - I liked the use of lighting during “Room 101”  Maya - the camera angles were so odd. Sometimes super close only showing one eye and sometimes all the way across the room from a strange angle with furniture in the way.  2-3 favorite moments in the show: Maxx: Found it interesting how they had these bonds with the people in their host bodies The first episode or so was fun I think they should have kept the fbi guy hunting them longer The last bit finding out how the stuff they have been doing is affecting the future but it wasn’t for good? What they know as truth isn’t accurate and they are getting a taste of what it might feel like to be the people around them not knowing what is happening? Joey - I had a great friggin time. The first episode was hard to watch for me, I didn’t understand what was going on, which honestly was completely on purpose and I’m cool with it now, but I found it irksome, but also there was an overdose right kind of at the get go and that was really hard for me to see. I think it made me love the Phillip character though.  I loved some of the kickbacks to things like David reminding Marcy that she’s naked. It was clearly a recurring thing in their relationship and it was just the same old thing for them. I felt like David was so real in those moments. I also liked seeing the dynamics of the group grow. They knew each other through training before they went into the past, but clearly didn’t really know one another. I just loved seeing those relationships blossom.   Other thoughts: This show was just too much but also not enough? The idea that they took other peoples bodies and then continued to live their lives was odd and really uncomfortable… couldn’t they have made it so they were thought to be dead or something and then move across the country or something and just start a new?  how did the fbi guy even start getting on their trail?  If the director is a machine then someone must have coded it and there would be human mistakes and biases in it too…?  The one guy kissed the turtle!!!! Ugh salmonella  Feels like some cult vibes with the director and everything I don’t really want to watch anymore episodes.  They covered some topics but just kinda lightly not really delving into things  -Joey LOVES dystopian movies/novels and if she had known that’s what this was she would have been more jazzed about it and probably more interested in seeing it in the first place. She doesn’t know what she thought this was about but was pretty pleased with it.  -This show is super strong, and has so many triggers with things, I’m definitely a fan but I can see why maybe I didn’t hear much about it before. This also may be why it wound up cancelled. So much of it makes for fewer fans overall.  -This really was nostalgic for me in so many ways. It very much reminded me of some shows I used to love, and had SO SO many actors/actresses/directors that I’ve loved. Every familiar face showing up was like a little hello to me and it’s just been so fun to see them.  -My biggest things kind of were that it was nice to see these people grow from who the bodies used to be, but that it was so weird to think that all these people, besides David didn’t notice the complete shift in personalities. Are we really all so self absorbed that we don’t notice when someone we’re close to has such a major shift? I’d like to think that if I suddenly acted wholly different that someone would check on me a little better than the Travelers were checked on.  -I definitely see why this show was ‘edgy’ but I think I liked it much more than I disliked it. I did download season 2 from netflix and will keep watching, but I definitely am one to want to ‘finish’ a show/story despite if I like it or not. I’m pretty sure I do… but at the same time, I didn’t download it and slam it down like I usually do for shows. It feels a bit like Breaking Bad to me. I watched it and thought the whole time “I think I hate this” and then it ended and I realized that yes, I did in fact hate it. I don’t feel so strongly of dislike here though. I think maybe I just feel confused and torn. I love these characters, and I want better for them, but I hate the premise.  -When has a character coming from the future ever been a good thing? This whole “change small things to save the future” definitely made me think of Quantum Leap, with just the single leap. I also didn’t realize that the Director was a computer until way late in the game and once the character had already built the place for the Director to come to in the barn and it reminded me of power rangers, Then the Director was Zordon from Power Rangers while simultaneously Agent Smith from Matrix and I couldn’t really take that episode totally seriously anymore.  -Last thing was that I felt it was unrealistic the way that the travelers grew to care about their counterparts in the world. Not that they cared for them, but that they also apparently didn’t. I can’t imagine learning to care for someone so much, but then lying like that the way that they do. How could these apparently moral soldiers of this mega computer that are questioning (rightly) their choices not question the decision to lie to the people that have been supporting them so much. Marcy is really the only one that doesn’t seem to be on board (pre-reboot) and lets David know a little too much probably, even though she still lies. I feel like it's unreasonable here. But then again, this judgement is being passed on a dystopian show based on body snatching time travelers trying to move major planetary events around so I’m probably the one being unrealistic.  Maya - I am still not at all a fan of body snatcher shows. I can’t deal with the eww factor of it. Not just the body they are in having to go through all that pain at the end, but the people around them think they are still the person they knew/loved/hated.  Many big topics here Marci- developmentally challenged, Phillip - addiction, Carly- abusive ex, Mac - addiction to freaking job, Trevor- not sure what message they were trying to convey? Bully, parents relationship?  I really hated how Mac equated Trevors issues with his parents to Carly’s with her ex husband. Telling her to deal with it, Trevor doesn’t bother Mac about his issues. Uh, pretty similar to what most women in abusive relationships get treated, but um, SHE ISN’T ACTUALLY IN THAT RELATIONSHIP. I get that she cares about the baby, but it isn’t her baby. I just don’t know what to think to be honest.  Liked Phillips story line I think. It was a great message that addiction is more than something that can just be walked away from.  The trust in the director is annoying especially when we find out it is an ai. Like I guess I know which faction I’d be in lol. The whole show I kept questioning their trust in these decisions.  I was intrigued by the numbers. I liked knowing 14 and 27 and that Trevor was 115. I feel interested in their story.  My transcribed notes (aka scribbles): So much pain for the end of the lives. Screaming head pain! I quit watching the first time because I didn’t like the body snatches. They might have killed the guy who was going to kill the agent, but then the agent wasn’t dead but they brought the new guy into his head anyway? Kind of like killing him.

Ladies at the Round Table: A Journey into the Realms of Sci-fi and Fantasy

Show Name: Travelers Season/Episode: S01 Date Aired:  Dec 23, 2016 Where Aired: Netflix linktr.ee/ladiesattheroundtable Twitter @LadiesAtRt_Pod Patreon.com/LadiesAtTheRoundTable Instagram @ladiesattheroundtable Plot Summary in a sentence Shoshie- A group of Agents from the future arrive in the bodies of people from our time just at the time of their death in order to carry out missions from the Director.  Maxx - People from the future take over people’s bodies right before they are about to die and some machine is telling them what to do. Joey - I don’t know what happened to the Grandfather Paradox, but apparently that’s called protocol 4 in the future, everyone takes directions from a super computer and that isn’t even the half of it.  Maya - People following a bunch of basic protocols from a destitute future come back in time by taking over people’s lives right before their time of death and pretend poorly to be them while also doing whatever they are told by the director/ai from the future. What’s your word? Shoshie- innovative  Maxx - control Joey - Nostalgia Maya - unnerving Favorite character this episode? Maxx - the farmer dude? They all were kinda sketch Joey - David  is my favorite non traveler. Phillip is my favorite traveler.  Maya - David also, although it was annoying how put together he was. Just a bit too nice and good and clean. I liked Grace/27 a bit too. Technical Talking Points (music, lighting, editing): Maxx : The music was nice and kinda eerie…? Joey - I liked the use of lighting during “Room 101”  Maya - the camera angles were so odd. Sometimes super close only showing one eye and sometimes all the way across the room from a strange angle with furniture in the way.  2-3 favorite moments in the show: Maxx: Found it interesting how they had these bonds with the people in their host bodies The first episode or so was fun I think they should have kept the fbi guy hunting them longer The last bit finding out how the stuff they have been doing is affecting the future but it wasn’t for good? What they know as truth isn’t accurate and they are getting a taste of what it might feel like to be the people around them not knowing what is happening? Joey - I had a great friggin time. The first episode was hard to watch for me, I didn’t understand what was going on, which honestly was completely on purpose and I’m cool with it now, but I found it irksome, but also there was an overdose right kind of at the get go and that was really hard for me to see. I think it made me love the Phillip character though.  I loved some of the kickbacks to things like David reminding Marcy that she’s naked. It was clearly a recurring thing in their relationship and it was just the same old thing for them. I felt like David was so real in those moments. I also liked seeing the dynamics of the group grow. They knew each other through training before they went into the past, but clearly didn’t really know one another. I just loved seeing those relationships blossom.   Other thoughts: This show was just too much but also not enough? The idea that they took other peoples bodies and then continued to live their lives was odd and really uncomfortable… couldn’t they have made it so they were thought to be dead or something and then move across the country or something and just start a new?  how did the fbi guy even start getting on their trail?  If the director is a machine then someone must have coded it and there would be human mistakes and biases in it too…?  The one guy kissed the turtle!!!! Ugh salmonella  Feels like some cult vibes with the director and everything I don’t really want to watch anymore episodes.  They covered some topics but just kinda lightly not really delving into things  -Joey LOVES dystopian movies/novels and if she had known that’s what this was she would have been more jazzed about it and probably more interested in seeing it in the first place. She doesn’t know what she thought this was about but was pretty pleased with it.  -This show is super strong, and has so many triggers with things, I’m definitely a fan but I can see why maybe I didn’t hear much about it before. This also may be why it wound up cancelled. So much of it makes for fewer fans overall.  -This really was nostalgic for me in so many ways. It very much reminded me of some shows I used to love, and had SO SO many actors/actresses/directors that I’ve loved. Every familiar face showing up was like a little hello to me and it’s just been so fun to see them.  -My biggest things kind of were that it was nice to see these people grow from who the bodies used to be, but that it was so weird to think that all these people, besides David didn’t notice the complete shift in personalities. Are we really all so self absorbed that we don’t notice when someone we’re close to has such a major shift? I’d like to think that if I suddenly acted wholly different that someone would check on me a little better than the Travelers were checked on.  -I definitely see why this show was ‘edgy’ but I think I liked it much more than I disliked it. I did download season 2 from netflix and will keep watching, but I definitely am one to want to ‘finish’ a show/story despite if I like it or not. I’m pretty sure I do… but at the same time, I didn’t download it and slam it down like I usually do for shows. It feels a bit like Breaking Bad to me. I watched it and thought the whole time “I think I hate this” and then it ended and I realized that yes, I did in fact hate it. I don’t feel so strongly of dislike here though. I think maybe I just feel confused and torn. I love these characters, and I want better for them, but I hate the premise.  -When has a character coming from the future ever been a good thing? This whole “change small things to save the future” definitely made me think of Quantum Leap, with just the single leap. I also didn’t realize that the Director was a computer until way late in the game and once the character had already built the place for the Director to come to in the barn and it reminded me of power rangers, Then the Director was Zordon from Power Rangers while simultaneously Agent Smith from Matrix and I couldn’t really take that episode totally seriously anymore.  -Last thing was that I felt it was unrealistic the way that the travelers grew to care about their counterparts in the world. Not that they cared for them, but that they also apparently didn’t. I can’t imagine learning to care for someone so much, but then lying like that the way that they do.

Back to the Future, Interstellar, The Terminator - we've all been guilty of enjoying a good time travel flick at one point or another. But more recently, time travel has been taken out of Hollywood and placed under the inquisitive philosophers' lens. Stepping beyond science fiction and fantasy, philosophers have uncovered a hidden trove of tantalising thought experiments and mind-bending paradoxes. Tune into this episode to learn about causal loops, the Grandfather Paradox, closed timelike curves, and to investigate whether time travel really is a possibility.

Will our bodies just, subsist without sustenance? • 19:38 – How was the holy house of Loretto transported from Nazareth to Italy. • 22:00 – What happens to a person who can’t remember their sins through memory loss from, say, an accident, aging, or a disease like Alzheimer’s? Do they cease being culpable for their sins if they can’t remember them to repent and ask for forgiveness and reconcile with God? • 29:22 – What could the physics of the “new heavens and new earth” (new creation) be like, such that this would no longer disintegrate due to entropy, etc.? • 35:32 – If the Star Trek style transporter kills the person and creates a clone with that person’s memories, would a person who gets transported in such a manner have to be baptized or confirmed again? Would a priest who gets transported have to be ordained again? What about confession? What if you commit a mortal sin, then get transported, would the clone with your memories have to go to confession? • 42:18 – If hell is complete and final separation from God, and God is necessary for existence, how do people and angels exist in hell? Another one – is the devil in hell yet, and if not, are the people in hell waiting for him to get there or are they all waiting until the end and judgement to enter hell? • 47:41 – What are the spiritual and perhaps biological implications of combining human and pig or cow DNA? Besides having no justifiable health consideration and being seriously wrong for tampering with trying to create previously non-existing life forms, is it possible that a cow or pig could come to the realization that it will wind up as steak or bacon?

Episode 10 - Lessons So Far

Hello, travellers, and welcome to Recorded Tomorrow, the show where we break down the rules & pitfalls of using time travel in fiction & games. Jonathan is caught in a temporal rift, so I’ll be navigating the timestream solo today. Rather than try to tackle a deep dive by myself, I thought I’d take this opportunity to recap the lessons we’ve covered so far, & consolidate them all in one place. I’ll go over the rules we’ve established & define all the terms we’ve used. I’ll jump around a bit, but hopefully I’ll do it in a way that makes sense. Right, let’s get straight to it: A traveler isn’t necessarily a person, but refers to anything that’s being sent through time. That could mean a person, or their consciousness, a device, even just information. We might sometimes refer to this as the subject. The origin is the time and place from which the traveler departs, and the destination is the time & place when they arrive. Now let’s talk theories: Variable Thread is typically a single, mutable timeline of continuity that can be altered using time travel. In fiction that uses variable thread, as soon as someone or something travels to the past, the timeline resets from the point of arrival, and the original timeline ceases to exist. This is the most common style of explicit time travel. Think Back to the Future or The Sound of Thunder. These types of stories are usually a regret metaphor. Fixed Thread is an immutable timeline, where the continuity can’t be changed, even by traveling back in time. Any actions taken by a traveler happened before they traveled, the only thing that changes is the perspective. This is your Bill & Ted, your 12 Monkeys, your Prisoner of Azkaban. These stories are generally about trying to be in multiple places at once, taking on too much, and learning to prioritize.  Lastly, we have Multiverse time travel. This theory involves multiple, timelines, and can come in a couple of forms: in Michael Creighton’s Timeline, the characters don’t actually travel forward or backward in time, but rather laterally into older or younger universes; In Avengers: Endgame, characters do travel through time, but each time they do, it creates a new branch on an existing timeline. These are the basics. There are variations, like river theory or using flashbacks, but they pretty much all build on these three. Regardless of which theory you employ, there are a few guidelines you should always keep in mind. The single most important rule is to Be Consistent. It doesn’t matter what the time travel rules are in your universe, as long as you know them, and you make sure you always, always follow them. Be consistent. Be consistent. Be consistent. In order to stay consistent, you’re going to need to take notes. Copious, copious notes. If you're traveling to real historical times & places, do your research and get it right. Even if you're in a fictional universe, remember that everything your characters do could be important. Everything they say, anyone they interact with, could cause rippling changes, and the further back the travel, the larger those changes can be. If you're dealing with interactive fiction - like a role-playing game - it's probably a good idea to record your sessions. Forgive the pun, but you’ll also want to be sure you take your time with your story. Any time a character or characters travel through time (either forward or backward), stop and check your notes. Make sure you've got everything lined up, extrapolate answers to questions, figure out as many ramifications to changes made as possible. If you're writing a novel, end the chapter or section here. If you're writing a screenplay for a film, use this as a scene- or act-break. If it's a TV show, go to commercial. If it's interactive fiction, end the session there. Now, I said you have know the rules of time travel, but that doesn’t mean your characters have to. 12 Monkeys executes this brilliantly, with Cole traveling back in time to try and change his future, only to find out that he’d seen his older self there as a child. The characters all believed they were in a variable thread universe, when in fact their universe was fixed thread. Everything I’ve mentioned so far apply equally regardless of how time travel works in your story. Let’s dive into some theory-specific guidelines. We’ll start with VariableThread: The one thing most Variable Thread stories forget is something we’re calling The Outsider Problem. When a traveler arrives at their destination, every part of their original timeline is erased (usually immediately, but that can vary from story to story), except the traveler themselves. They become an Outsider, and no longer belong in any timeline, because even when they return to their origin point, it will be in an alternate timeline with another version of the traveler. Basically, with Variable Thread, once you travel back in time, there will always be two of you, and you’re the one who doesn’t belong anymore.  This manifests a little differently when traveling to the future: rather than traveling to a destination where there will be another version of you, you’re traveling to a future where you’ve been absent since the moment you left. If you travel to ten years in the future, you’ll arrive to a world where you’ve been missing for ten years. Bottom line, if you’re using Variable Thread time travel, you’ll need to either embrace the Outsider Problem, or mitigate it somehow. One of the most common methods of mitigation is to only send a consciousness backward or forward in time, rather than a physical human. The arriving consciousness either supplants, suppresses, or merges with the existing one, so there is no Outsider. Fixed Thread is a bit trickier, in that there are a number of extra pitfalls to watch out for. But first, I have to reiterate rule #1: BE CONSISTENT. Consistency is especially important in a Fixed Thread story, because you’ll likely be describing the same scene more than once, from different perspectives. When that happens, it’s imperative that your events and dialog line up. Because the timeline is immutable, you can’t change the way a conversation plays out, or the order in which events occur. On a related note, be sure to sprinkle bits of foreshadowing into your narrative, so your audience will have a thread to connect events between perspectives (though that’s just generally good fiction advice, so I probably don’t need to mention it). The Outsider Problem doesn’t exist with Fixed Thread or multiverse time travel, but you do have to remember and account for the fact that your traveler will continue to age when they travel through time. This means that when they return to their origin they’ll be older than they were when they left. Realistically, after a year of time-traveling back to repeat every school day, Hermione would be over two months older than Harry and Ron. And, finally, we need to tackle Paradoxes. A paradox is an event that alters the timeline in such a way as to create a contradiction of events, and the truth is that if you’re consistent and follow the rest of the guidelines above, paradoxes aren’t actually a problem.  To illustrate that, let’s take a look at the classic example: The Grandfather Paradox. The idea is that if a person were to travel back in time and murder their grandfather before they had any children, then the traveler themselves would never have been born, which means they would never have been able to travel back in time to murder their grandfather. Except it’s garbage. Let’s examine the three theories in each scenario: In Variable Thread, the traveler is an Outsider. Murdering their grandfather would succeed in preventing their birth, but it’s not the same version of them as the one who traveled back in time. The traveler will continue to exist in a timeline that they’re not actually a part of, in which no version of them is ever born. No Paradox. This applies to Multiverse time travel, as well: You could quite easily prevent yourself from being born, but it’d be in an alternate timeline, which would have no effect on the one from which you traveled. No Paradox. In a Fixed Thread the fact that the traveler exists means they would be physically unable to prevent their birth. They could try to murder their grandfather, but they would fail. End of story. The thread is fixed and can’t be changed. No Paradox. Fixed Thread does have something that’s pretty close to a paradox, though, and that’s a Causal Loop. We defined a Causal Loop as a self-manifesting concept in which the something (be it information, an object, or even a person) sets in motion the events that result in its own creation. My go-to example is the directions out of a maze: If a person is stuck in a maze and finds a map leading out, then after they get out, they travel back in time and places the map back where they found it, where did the map originally come from? The answer seems to be “from nowhere.” Causal Loops don’t actually break any time travel rules, but they’ll still pull people out of your story unless they’re handled very carefully. Unless they play a major role in your story, I’d avoid them altogether. There exists a wonderful example of a story that is built entirely on Causal Loops, but I won’t say what it is because I don’t want to spoil it. Finally, it’s vital to remember that, regardless of the mechanics, a time travel story is a story first. Every time-travel decision should be in service to the story. I’m skipping ahead a little because some of this will be covered in future episodes, but you’ll want to start with figuring out what kind of story you want to tell, then choose a complimentary time travel theory. Conversely, if you want to use a specific theory, make sure your narrative themes compliment that theory. You’ll want to choose a mode of travel - such as a time machine, device, portal, etc.. - based on the types of complications you want to introduce. And that brings us back to the present! Pretty much everything we’ve covered on the show so far, condensed into half an hour. If you’re new to our show and want to hear Jonathan and me dig deeper into any of these subjects, they’re all in the archives. If you’ve been with us from the beginning and want to introduce the show to your friends, this might not be a bad place to start. But there’s one more thing I want to talk to you about: We’ve got a few more episodes planned, but we’re approaching a point where we’re going to run out of basic lessons. There are a few subjects we want to dive deeper into, but after that, we’re going to have to pivot, and change the nature of the show somewhat. And that’s where you come in. Once the basics are covered, what would you like to hear from us? We could do analyses of time travel in specific works of fiction (similar to what we did with Avengers: Endgame). We could turn it into more of a question & answer show, where listeners send us questions or issues they have and we try to answer them. We could even put our money where our mouths are, and try to craft a time travel story together with you listening in. Let us know what you’d like to hear on twitter at @TimeTravelPod, or via email at recordedtomorrow@gmail.com. Thanks to Kevin MacLoed of Incompetech for our theme music.

The Kerberos Club, that great pile of mouldering stone in the otherwise respectable Square of Saint James, is refuge for the Empire's monsters and broken heroes. It is sanctuary and sometimes home to those who have gazed too long into the darkness and those who have been touched by the Strange. Occasionally members of the club join together to confront threats to the unsuspecting peoples of the Empire. Of course, most of those good Victorians consider the Club to be the worst sort of disreputable, but Kerberans all have their own reasons for doing things. There is every reason for the club's motto: MALUM NECESSARIUM. In this exciting adventure, a trio from the Club tackles a most vexing dilemma. Top scientists have been kidnapped by mysterious forces and only the Kerberos Club can solve the mystery. Their investigation reveals a villain they would have never suspected!
