The Babylon Podject Presents: PodSpace9500 Gigs of Centauri Porn, or the Passion of the SheridanContent Warnings: Intersections is focused around a detailed torture sequence, and includes discussion of such.In which we find out the Judas price of our hosts. In "The Face of the Enemy," Garibaldi sells out Sheridan, we FINALLY get the payoff of Garibaldi being an asshole, and Jude and Justen lose it over JMS writing an X-Men plot. Then, in Intersections in Real Time, we get Wayne Alexander (again!), an episode with just one set, and we have to unfortunately compare this to a Star Trek episode.Connect with the show at @babylonpodject...

The Passion Podject30 - Charles Dickens Hot Takes (aka Quill presents Book to Film Adaptations)In an attempt to spin the podcast off into a film franchise of its own, this week Scott is joined by Quill as that discuss their fondness for the god and bad in the world of book to film adaptations. Which swiftly devolves into a lengthy rant about the Harry Potter films. But find out what Quill's favourite is, what other non-Harry Potter things they have issues with, and most importantly, what the cat in the background has to say about the topic.
2018-06-191h 20The Passion Podject29 - Chasing the Yarn Dragon (aka Robin Presents Knitting)After a slight scheduling-difficulties-mandated delay, we are back! Joined this week by Robin to talk about the art of string magic that is knitting. We've got it all, from our alarmingly similar knitting origin stories, how it helped in times of depression, forcing friends to praise scarves, and figuring out whether it's possible to take knitting needles on a plane without being arrested. Plus we pat ourselves on the back for using the metric system like sane people.
2018-06-071h 17The Passion Podject28 - FourSquare for Snacks (aka Justin H presents Programming and Teaching)This week Scott and his increasingly croaky voice are joined by Justin, who tells us all about how he taught himself computer programming in a cave, with a bunch of scraps (it may have been a Starbucks), and realised he wanted to pay it forward by teaching others. Hear about whether you feel like a fraud teaching people when technically you were never taught, exactly what you do when someone asks you to make 'Facebook for Old People', and how Justin missed the opportunity to get on on the ground floor of Blackmail: The App.
2018-05-081h 11The Passion Podject27 - Vicious Librarians (aka Arden Falls presents Reading, Writing & Creativity)Do you like reading, writing and arithmetic? Well, Arden sure does, so do we have the podcast episode for you! Except the arithmetic, that part was a lie.But from living a reading and dragon heavy childhood, to an adulthood defined by what could almost be described as an addition to writing, we learn all about his lifetime affair with words. Learn how it helped him with depression and anxiety. Listen to us straight, white men debate how possible it is for us to write non-straight, white men characters without sounding like a dumbass. And ask yourself, did A...
2018-05-021h 25The Passion Podject26 - Sounds Like Weed (aka Lucas R. presents Sound Design)After kinda sorta missing a week due to some unavaoidable, scheduling based delays, we're back! And this week Lucas is joining Scott from his cacophonous, 100ft wide audio amphitheatre to talk all things sound design. Whether it be the gateway audio drug of wax cylinders, the difference between breaking bones and celery, or Alan Jones shilling for underwear, we cover it all. Except the parts that we don't.
2018-04-241h 25The Passion Podject25 - Per-Crushing-It! (aka Kyle B presents Weird Music &John Cage)To answer everyone's question right off the bat, no we are sadly not talking the Mortal Kombat character.Now with that out of the way, come one and all to hear Kyle tell is about the non-fatality weilding John Cage and his pioneering of the world of "weird music". What exactly is that? Well, short version is using a variety of things for abstract percussionism. The long version is...this podcast episode, so just listen to it! Find out how four and a half minutes of silence can be considered a song, what taking part in a rice...
2018-04-091h 01The Passion Podject24 - One Of Us! One Of Us! (aka Matt D presents Board Games)For once Scott knows something about the topic, as Matt joins him to talk about all the plastic, cardboard and references to European trade that comes along with board games! Does Scott manage to handle the conversaion in a way that doesn't alienate and confuse everyone else? Listen in and find out! Also BOARD GAMES ARE COOL DAMMIT.
2018-04-031h 35The Passion Podject23 - Punch Mayors and Haunted Dolls (aka Sabrina J. presents Local History)Sure, Scott's a little two thousand and late with this one, but as a peace offering he's brought Sabrina, who in turn has brought the weird and excellent tales of her local history.You want public officials prone to violence? Done. Brothels? You got it. Kidnapped nuns? Sure, why not. Buffalo human skulls? We've got you, boo. More brothels? Oh, you betcha. Suffice to say there's some weird stuff going on in here, so you should probably just listen.
2018-03-271h 14The Passion Podject22 - The Ke$ha Paradox (aka Kyle presents Music Therapy)And as he gazed upon the the sacred tomes of the Career Aptitude Test, the pages whispered to Kyle, "You should be a music therapist." And Kyle spoke back, ".....Wait, that's a thing?"It is indeed a thing, and now he joins Scott to tell us all about it! So let's learn about the power of drum circles, the confusion over what the hell Fetty Wop is, and the one-time theraputic magic of a Peter Gabriel song. Also, be warned: you will come out of this episode confident in the knowledge that Kyle's job is way cooler than...
2018-03-191h 04The Passion Podject21 - Pearly Bead Punxsutawney (aka Lindsay B. presents Groundhog Day: The Musical)Don't be alarmed if you feel like you've heard this one before, it's probably just a simple case of reliving an infinite loop of the same moment in time. But that's no excuse not to once again listen to Lindsay talk to Scott all about Groundhog Day: The Musical. Be baffled by the fact that she saw the musical before the movie! Hear the tale of Andy Karl's infamous leg injury. Immediately followed by the answer to the all-important question - so...uh..who is Andy Karl? And Scott learns that Broadway-Con is a thing that exists, because of cours...
