This episode, I wax poetic over Morgan Freeman’s voice and content on the “Through the Wormhole” series on the Science Channel. Check it out on Wednesday nights!

Then we have voicemails from Tim regarding my birthday, the Parsec Awards and flu shots, and Wyatt gives us a gaming update and a sad report on the state of his Xbox 360.

We’re starting a new podcast for those fans of Eureka and Warehouse 13 on SyFy – the EurekaVerse Podcast! Follow us on Twitter at @EurekaVerse!  And I urge everyone to visit the Parsec Awards site to see the list of winners and finalists!

In this episode, I detail our adventures at Dragon*Con – where I helped out with the Parsecs, Amanda got to go for the first time, and we met lots of cool folks. I helped out with the comedy4cast live show with Clinton Alvord, hung out with the guys from Technorama, and visited with my friends from the SeekerCast! It was a great time!
