Well Worth The Wait!
Of course, we think this show is well worth the wait. So what if it’s our September show and some of the news is over a month old. When we called our new production vendor, (yes, our production staff was re-arrested when they violated their parole), we heard the same old tired stories: Supply chain issues, product shortages, tariffs on critical components, moon phases, sunspots, artificial intelligence, and yada, yada, yada. Anyway, sit down, strap in, put on your helmet. And hold on! Movie/TV Series: Come Fly With Me (1963) Book: Pilot Joke Book by Chester Crocker Interview: Lt.

Marooned and Lost In Space!
Imagine you booked a flight on an airline for a two-week vacation to an exotic location. In fact, a location so exotic, it’s out of this world. Once you got there, the airline called and said they have cancelled your flight and the next flight on the only other airline doesn’t have any open seats until next year. No, it’s not the twilight zone….you are Marooned and Lost In Space courtesy of the Boeing Starliner! This, other news, movie, book, comedy, interviews and more in this episode.
