This episode features tales of and from my recent trip to Dallas for EarthX 2022. First up is a talk with Michael Varhola that covers both the thematic significance of aliens in GEBB and a theoretical discussion of the likelihood of other technological civilizations in our galaxy.
In the conversation with Michael, I tried and mostly failed to summarize an argument that gets first rate treatment in this Cool Worlds video: https://youtu.be/PqEmYU8Y_rI
Later, I share the continuation of the conversation with GrowthBusters host, Dave Gardner, the began on C-Realm Podcast #579: GrowthBusters and Super Connectors. Portions of that podcast may appear on a future episode of GrowthBusters, but C-Realm Vault subscribers get the whole conversation in advance.

Fresh back from promoting the GEBB comic at EarthX 2022 in Dallas, Texas, KMO returns to the Big Room of the C-Realm Podcast with a conversation recorded on the expo floor with Dave Gardener, the host and producer of the GrowthBusters Podcast. Dave spells out the case against growth, and KMO provides a bit of skeptical pushback to help Dave shore up his arguments.
Later, we hear from Anna Haskell and Slava Borisov, the founders of Padverb, a service that helps podcasters find great guests for their programs. KMO will soon be hosting the Padverb Podcast which should come as a pleasant surprise for those who wish that he'd put out more free podcasts.
