Ted returns as Richard and Ryan encounter the chillest apocolypse survivor ever, wrestle what to do with a hero snake, decide how many survivors are needed to register an elusive victory for humans, and get squirmy about modern sexual politics in old timey stories.
Richard: 8
Ryan: 8
Ted: Three firm, throbbing antennae. Still not sure what it means, but slightly weirded out.
The fourth episode of the X-1 podcast covers Universe, including a not so shocking confession by Ryan, Richard says a bunch of things about Heinlein, decides The Green Hills of Earth was written by Clarke (it was Heinlein), and Richard asks if you're a "Foundation" or a "Dune".
Also, we introduce a 'contest' which is really just a call for you to amuse us. But we'll make sure we pass the amusement along.
I don't remember the ratings, but they were similar even though one sounded critical and the other praise. I really should write these down...

In this episode, Ryan still can't get George Lefferts' name right, the finer points of the publicity game, where to carry your pride and contempt, and some uncomfortable laughter at a different time.
Guest Ted Gehrig returns.
I forgot the ratings. I think we kinda liked it.
