As foretold! Mayors! Bridles! Saddles! Oddly, no actual horses! And the ultimate answer to the ultimate cliffhanger! It’s “A Podcast must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Episode!”
Also show news, we react to the trailer (this one, here)…
…and more Asimov trivia! Join us! Please rate and review.
We hope you’re enjoying our podcast so far and if you are, you’re probably as anxious to see the resolution of the cliffhanger that ended our second episode as we are! Do you think what has to be done to keep Terminus safe from Anachreon was obvious? We didn’t particularly think so despite 20-year-old Isaac’s assurances to the contrary. “The Enyclopedeaists” appeared as “Foundation” in Astounding Science Fiction for May, 1942. Here are the coming attractions from that issue.
It’s clear that John W. Campbell expected that riddle to bring people back to Astounding for the June issue. He didn’t stop there though, “Bridle and Saddle” was featured on the cover as well.
Of course, we now know “Bridle and Saddle” as “The Mayors,” the title it was given in Foundation.
We’ll also bring you up to date on what we know about the show so far and we’ll treat you to another edition of Asimov Trivia.
In future episodes, we’ll continue to work our way through the books, have show news as it become available and more!

Our second episode, entitled “Podcast must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Episode” is posted, and available wherever fine podcasts blossom or will be when Anchor gets around to uploading it for us. Of course, we are now begging the question… what will the fourth episode be called?
We start discussing the first novel, Foundation, in earnest and get all the way through the first two stories, “The Psychohistorians,” and “The Encyclopedists.” We also try our hand at a new segment, “Asimov Trivia.” You can join us at the link below.
