"Epiphanies" - Season 4, Episode 7 There's already trouble in this newly minted paradise, as the galactic focus turns inwards and cracks begin to show in our gang. Here's Sami's link to the info about the DVD transfer problems https://www.modeemi.fi/~leopold/Babylon5/DVD/DVDTransfer.html The show picture today is listener Gayle's friend "G'Quan" meeting Andreas Katsulas while wearing a Narn puppy t-shirt! See previous podcast for details of this curious convention meet-up! Gayle also provides the excellent song at the end of the podcast. Again, see last episode for details. She's keen to point out her limitations as a singer but I think she's being too modest, and it's all really rather fun!
