The lads are joined by Noah Chinn, a Canadian writer of SFF, contemporary fiction and retro mysteries. (The latter two under the pen-name Noah J.D. Chinn.)
Mark kicks off the podcast by asking Joe and Noah if there was anything weird happening to their hair in the 90s, which is also when the groundbreaking science fiction series, Babylon 5 ran.
Noah loved that the series treated each episode as a chapter in a longer story, which was unusual in television at the time. And yes, there was a character with big hair in the show.
Noah tries to convince Mark, who never saw the show in the 90s, why he should check it out now. They talk about where it's similar to The Expanse, and where it differs, and how it had an impact on Noah's own writing.
In the end, Noah makes a strong case!
