We didn’t just interview Aaron Douglas at Shore Leave in Baltimore (see Episode #23), we also met up with some cool vendors and sci-fi fans. We put together some of our interviews with convention attendees for our first video podcast!

Brian and Michele were there reporting on the action. And a special thanks to Ted for the camerawork while we were conducting the interviews.

Some links from the video podcast:

The video was encoded using H264 so if you are using iTunes or Quicktime you should be able to view it OK.

Shore Leave is over…We had a great time there over the 2+ days. We met up with folks from ColonialFleet.org and spoke with a bunch of other Sci-Fi fans.

And I am pleased to announce that we interviewed Aaron Douglas and we’ll be sharing that with you in our next podcast!

If you’re new to our podcast, we primarily cover Battlestar Galactica but during the off-season we’ve been branching out a bit. Our most recent podcast was recorded spontaneously in a pool hall, but for a better idea of our format just visit our Feedburner page or subscribe via the iTunes link at the right to view our archive.

We have forums and a voice mail if you’d like to join in on the discussion. (*Note that if you are listening to an archived show, that phone number is no longer active! The new phone number is 206-350-6756.) You can also reach us via email at gquorum@gmail.com. Thanks for stopping by!

We have a new voicemail number: 206-350-6756

Unfortunately I don’t think this number spells anything, BSG-related or otherwise.

Give us a call!

It’s Happy Hour! We were at an event having some drinks and figured, why not record a show? In this unconventional episode we dizzily discuss the show “Eureka” and our good intentions to discuss “Firefly.” Plus, sci-fi props and the upcoming Shore Leave convention in Baltimore.

Links mentioned in the podcast:

• Shore Leave, July 13-15, Baltimore with Aaron Douglas (**Michele and Brian will be at this event**)
• Darth Vader costume
• Prop Store of London

Quorum members this time included Brian, Michele, Dimitry and a few other revellers.
