We haven't recorded a main series Chatz episode in person since...god, ScapeChatz?! It's been too long.

What does the phrase "techno-mage" conjure up in your mind? Robes with equations on them? Elite magical hacking? Or a surprisingly dry filler episode of Babylon 5? That, plus the promotion of Worst Boy of All Time, Warren Keffer, made this pair of episodes a bit tough to get through. But we're cresting a new horizon, and apparently better things are coming!
