Thought this would be interesting...I went into my profile and found my intro post from waaay back in '07 (August 14, 2007, 08:09:54 AM to be exact).


--- Quote ---Hi all, billybob476 here.

I'm 26, newly married, living in Ottawa, Ontario. I've always loved sci fi (Star Trek and Star Wars particularly, but am interested in everything). I got into the podcast through Rico's segments on ExtraLife Radio. It took me a month or two but I've listened to all the back episodes from the beta podcast up to the latest episode.

I'm not much of a collector, but I do have almost 100 Star Wars books (most of the EU novels since Heir to the Empire, sourcebooks, etc) and a good collection of other sci fi novels...maybe I'm more of a collector then I think.

While I've always loved Star Trek, catching up on all the podcasts has really gotten me back into it. My wife and I are re-watching Enterprise and I think after we're done we're going to re-watch all of DS9. I really can't understand why people consider Enterprise to be a bad show, we watched four episodes in a row last night (up to the second to last season 2 episode). I wanted to keep going but she made us go to bed!

Anyways I won't ramble on more. Thank you for inviting me in, this seems like a great community and I think I'll enjoy being a contributing member.

Well today I am 30, not so newly married (though I guess that's subjective), have since moved to Toronto and I have listened to all the podcasts from the beta to the latest ep (though that was less of a challenge once I got caught up four years ago). If anything I am a much bigger Trek fan then ever (most liekly thanks to this community).

I have quite a few more Star Wars books, though I've started getting the Fate of the Jedi series on Kindle since I'm running out of shelf space! Fran and I are currently re-watching TNG which is the only series we haven't done a complete run-through from start to finish together.

Anyways I won't ramble on more. Thanks for keeping me around, this is without a doubt a great community and it makes my day every day to contribute in some small way.

I'd like to suggest for something new to the podcast: a regular, short segment on Star Trek book reviews.  I know Rico has said that he doesn't often have time to read the ST novels, but I wouldn't be surprised if some forum member wouldn't be willing to record short, maybe three to five minute segments every couple weeks or so reviewing recent or even classic Star Trek novels.  I know it's something at least I would enjoy listening to.

Here's my first post...just gushing about the podcast basically.  Since 2006 I've seen the birth of two sons, now ages 4 and 2, a new job with the city of Philadelphia, I bought a house...and listened to about 300 awesome Star Trek podcasts!

Oh yeah forgot that stuff too...in addition to moving I've bought a house, learned to ski and run a half marathon! No kids yet!

Hello all, long-time first-time (long time listener, first time poster).  Great podcast Rico!  I have a very long commute a few days a week from my home in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia to my office in Newark, USA (NJ!).
I am old enough to remember season 3 of ST:TOS as it first ran - although I was a little tot of 6 watching on a black and white Zenith.
I am an avid sci-fi fan, more into the hard sci-fi end of the spectrum - Alaister Reynolds, Vernor Vinge, etc.  Still grieving for Sir Arthur, and for Jack Williamson, but consoling myself in Iain M. Banks.
