Join Peter, Dan & Jason with our special guest host Mike to discuss the Foundation Series up to book 5 "Foundation and Earth" ....was it good?...., or was it not?   Hope you enjoy our debate and discussion during this long awaited Finale to our Isaac Asimov Foundation Series run!!

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, as we discuss our intrepid space travelers as they finally reach Earth,...ahem, er....The Moon and the high spots and low spot regarding this abrupt end to our 5 book journey. How does Asimov compare to some of the great books we have experienced in our lives? www.suchnerds.com

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, as we discuss our intrepid ...not duo, ...not trio,... but...quatro?! As they explore Alpha, a diverse world of dozens of people, ....DOZENS OF THEM!  Navigating a complex set of social signals from a culture that reflects the readers experience of Curren day earth as if it was totally alien and at the same time ancient.  Finally Bliss gets a break and Fallom saves the day by entrancing Hiroko with here musical skills. www.suchnerds.com

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, as we discuss an adventure to an otherwise lifeless planet, save the moss (hint hint, the scene on the book cover).  There are of course antics aboard the vessel, and we learn in the end that... Pelorat needs to be more assertive with Trevise! www.suchnerds.com

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, as we discuss what does it mean to be a "Whole Human" and what is it like to live like our bizarre interlocutor on the planet Solaria.   Need I say Bliss again intervenes to create a safe space for our Foundationers as they make a fast exit from this unwelcoming estate, interestingly they are compelled to take on a strange new traveling companion. www.suchnerds.com

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, as we visit the next world in the journey, which appears to have gone to the dogs.  While Trevise vociferously exercises his second amendment rights, Bliss yet again is the one who saves everybody's Bacon!  While we can't agree if collectivism or individualism is better, we are pretty sure we did not find earth.  In any case our trio must ramble on! www.suchnerds.com

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, as we close out Part II with our trio and several important supporting actors, although Bliss again saves everybody's biscuits!  We also open some new clues on the roadmap to earth, and get the heck out of dodge.  www.suchnerds.com

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, as our trio travels on to Comporellon and find a series of surprises from this drab and apparently autocratic society.  But why isn't everybody named Compor?!?  And who needs identification documents 50,000 years in the future anyway!! www.suchnerds.com

Join Jason, Dan, and Peter, or should I say Jay, Dan, and Pete, as we pick up where we left off in Isaac Asimov's Foundation and Earth as the search continues for earth.  Where should we go to help Trev feel better about his decision in the last book?! That's not all, if you can believe it, our heroes have moved past their dependency on the galactic printing presses for their news and knowledge sources! www.suchnerds.com

Dan, Peter, and Jason discuss the Isaac Asimov award winning novel Foundation's Edge, Chapters 12: Uh oh!,... spleping and pronundicating befuddle us again, apparently Gendibal has a very important torso,....oh yeah, and we also talk about the chapter, "Agent"! www.suchnerds.com

Dan, Peter, and Jason discuss the Isaac Asimov award winning novel Foundation's Edge, Chapters 10-11: Like, ...how exciting is a Table?!?...apparently very exciting, join us while we cut through the chaff (or at least laugh at the chaff) and try to get to the heart of the matter (pun intended as Gendibal and Novi's budding relationship gets to the "here is the key to my spaceship" phase) www.suchnerds.com

Dan, Peter, and Jason discuss the Isaac Asimov award winning novel Foundation's Edge, Chapters 8-9: A farm woman re-emerges as an aspiring "Scowler," subterfuge, impeachment, intrigue, and our two space-traveling-companions are left guessing if they are in control of where their journey is taking them... www.suchnerds.com

Dan, Peter, and Jason discuss the Isaac Asimov award winning novel Foundation's Edge, Chapters 6-7: Two travelers look over their shoulders as they set a course for the origin of humanity, and a match made on Trantor is star-crossed to say the least, but at least we know how to address 2nd Foundation mail now! www.suchnerds.com

Dan, Peter, and Jason discuss the Isaac Asimov award winning novel Foundation's Edge, Chapters 4-5: ...or 5 & 4, either way, we peel back the onion and dive into a new revelation at 2nd Foundation HQ, and learn about computer neural links and haptics as our exiled space travelers journey towards earth,... or whatever it's called! www.suchnerds.com

Dan, Peter, and Jason are back for a 4th season discussing the Isaac Asimov award winning novel Foundation's Edge, Chapters 1-3: Where have our host's been?....never mind that, we are back to meet a new cast of characters in the 4th book of the Foundation Series, and begin a new journey through space, and back to ....Earth? www.suchnerds.com
