Episode 103: The Voyage Of The Van Leeuwenhoek by John Medaille

Life aboard the Van Leuwenhoek spacecraft is tough.  There's pretty much constant war with the Venusians, not to mention the daily duties, subspace apparitions, and the difficulties with the Lunars.  And then, there are the cockroaches.

Afterward, Big and Rish ask if this story is Space Opera.  What is Space Opera?  Does it involve singing?  Is 2001 Space Opera?  What about Alien?  What are the subgenres of Science Fiction?  Can Rish say what he thinks of the SyFy Channel without violating his sensitivity training?

Also, would R080T be better or worse if he had a different voice?  Only several ways to know for sure.

Please excuse the audio problems on this show.  It won't happen again...at least, we don't think it will.
