- Ep 1 — Why Does SciFi Matter? (00:52, 12:52, 16:15): Rob calls Project Hail Mary "the best of both": a fun ride with a real character story at its heart. Both hosts name Andy Weir as the place to start if you're new to sci-fi, and Caitlin uses The Martian to show you don't need to follow the science to enjoy hard sci-fi.
