Wow ! 9 B5 podcasts that I know about, and 6 of them started less than a year ago.
This really looks like a renaissance of the interest for Babylon 5.
That was the quick overview, some more details for some of the podcasts will follow.
Hey, great post! I’ve just started listening to the Downbelow Podcast and loved it!
Would you mind if I reblog this on freebabylon5.com? You’ll get all the credit, I can assure you!

Thanks, Ben, and welcome to my blog.
Absolutely no problem. I want the information out there. All part of the #FreeBabylon5 efforts.
As you may see, there will be more, but I think the JMS announcement last night takes precedence re.: a new post 😉
