Three geeks from different, but often overlapping, perspectives talk about pop culture, bigfoot, things they just don't get, and things that make them so happy that someone should slap them.
Kentucky Slim re-reconsiders some of his past reconsiderations about aliens, and the Conduit tries to capture the zeitgeist of our times, with predictable results.
Science Advisor Rich renounces Science, and instead embraces the magical world of Harry Potter, the clitoris, and other magical entities. Also, the Conduit finally comes to grips with his ultimate lot in life.
After a brief identity crisis, Kentucky Slim regales us of tales from his adventure to Ireland, and the Repeater offers a story of a band trip gone wrong in the deep south.
Got a question? Towerbot's got an answer. It'll be an awful, possibly illegal answer, but it's an answer, dammit!
We dust off the Tower's equipment and launch into Season 7, talking about Rogue One, Gilmore Girls, Mad Men and a creepy guy with questionable material in his freezer. It's like we never left!

We dust off that old fan favorite segment, Ask TowerBot, to get our resident AI's take on the problems of our listenership. (Corrected version - sorry about that!)
On this week’s fun sized episode, the Conduit, inspired by the Repeater’s Rockford Files fan fiction, has decided to take his latest obsession, Hawaii Five O, and have Rockford solve a case on their turf.
(Note: The Hawaii Five O depicted in this audio drama is the rebooted, sexy modern version, not the version from the 1970s with an increasingly skeletal Jack Lord. Adjust expectations as necessary.)
Daggor comes in to do a little light file keeping and, basically, rework the biggest movie in history, when he finds himself in the minority when it comes to "The Force Awakens." Will he keep his card key and Tower entrance codes? Tune in and find out!
We talk Star Wars. Because of COURSE we talk Star Wars. Also, one of our group was not as enamored of the film as might be expected....
Show Notes:
It's Star Wars. The Internet is engorged with Star Wars. Take your pick.
On the first "Fun Sized" TOT, The Repeater reveals what he was up to during our hiatus: He was writing "Rockford Files" fan fiction.
Everything old is new again it seems, with Star Trek, MST3K and that indie movie from the '70s, Star Wars, coming back around. This week, we take a look at this trend, as well as examine the Conduit's new old obsession.

We kick off our sixth season by actually having a sixth season! This time, we investigate the mythical (?) sea creature near and dear to our hearts, the Loch Ness Monster, and then devolve from there. (*Note: This is an updated file - the previous version was causing some crashes. Ol' Uncle Conduit is sorry about that.)

After 196 episodes, the curtain closes on the Tower of Technobabble. Or does it? Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuun!
This week, The Repeater reveals the answer to the cliffhanger that left everyone on the edge of their seat about which television show he’s been enjoying while getting his screaming bundle of joy off to night night land, as well as how this show is stuffing the “doctor who” void in his heart that the last season failed to fill. Also, he refers to his infant daughter as quote unquote “he” late in the show, but we let i...
The Tower celebrates the triumphant return of The Repeater, fresh from getting his ass kicked by a baby. He shares his 3 a.m. musings, and makes a startling comment about his beloved Doctor Who. Also, the Conduit learns if Emmanuel Lewis is dead or alive. The answer will both shock and amaze you.

The Conduit regales us with tales of his adventure to Scotland. And by regales, I mean shows us his slides. He witnessed a bloodless attempt at revolution, and somehow managed to avoid scams in Paris.
