Episode description

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into one of the most significant Space Opera television series of recent years: Battlestar Galactica. We’ll be exploring both the 1978 original series from Glen A. Larson and the 2003 reimagining from Ronald D. Moore. We’re joined by Val Nolan, an academic and writer who has recently co-authored the book Spec Fic For Newbies with Tiffani Angus. Together, we’ll analyse these two iterations of one of the most captivating Space Opera series in the world of science fiction, discussing their impact, themes, and how each version has left its mark on the genre.
