You’ve read this description of the episode.  And you haven’t.  And you will read it. And you won’t.  This podcast was on the road to PICARD, but we decided to take a U-turn into the mycelial network in Disco Town, by reading DEAD ENDLESS, by Dave Galanter.  As per Hugh-jual, Barm is here, but Sam Stovold (Reopening the Wormhole, Marvel  Star Wars Explorers) has also been kind enough to throw his fungal hat into the mycelial ring to talk about the greatest love story of all time, that of Paul Stamets, Hugh Culber, the Tardigrade, and the Mycelial Network.  The very fungal ties that bind.  And in so doing, we all fall in love, bittersweetly, with a vision of the Discovery that could have been!  Yes, we’re all excited about Picard, but join us one last time as we dance the mushroom to that sweet, sad, mycelial music.
