Podcast # 302 - "Bread & Circuses"

[Rico]

New podcast is up.  Bromptonboy (aka Peter) and I got together via Skype and cover the TOS episode, "Bread and Circuses."  This was a lot of fun and I'm going to try and do more of these Trek commentary style shows with a co-host in the future.  Hope you guys enjoy the show.

- Note - due to the Skype recording software and other factors, this show is in a slightly lower frequency range rate.  I don't think you'll notice much of a difference, but just thought I'd toss that out there.

Hi Rico and all. Great podcast this week as always. Really enjoyed the tos episode, I havnt watched it in a good few years. I thought the ideas behind the episode were really interesting. Slavery, faith and spirituality and empires. Funny that for most of the world empires through our history, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Britian, Germany circa 30s-40s,  if it wasnt for a few small things these Empire could of lasted thousands of years. Second is how having a faith or a spirituality can change a person so fundamentaly that they seem to be a different person.
Great episode anyway, was Kirk wearing a male corset in this?

In the media gallery is an interview of Tony Danza speaking about his year as a 10th grade English Teacher for A&E reality show "Teach".

GREAT podcast as usual Rico.  Both you and Peter did really well.   The whole family listened together and we all had hillarious memories of that show.  I really liked this episode as it did have some spritual stuff in it.  It was surprising to me with Gene being a humanist and all, but I am glad that at least one of the original series dealt with it in a positive way.  It portrayed believers as peace loving and not idiots like a lot of stuff does these days.  So, pretty cool in my eyes.  Thanks for playing the MW promo too, that was nice of you.

GREAT SHOW!

Glad you guys are liking it.  Love to get more of you on to co-host and cover an episode like Peter and I did.  It was a lot of fun and worked out pretty well.
