Darwin_Evolve

This week on Beam Me Up – episode 425 – after my opening comments, I play the first of two music selections. This week, Monochrome Kiss by SID. Interesting selection from the world of Anime.
Next up is an article that you could say I used as a model for this week’s program. The article in question is the top six places of the Darwin award followed straight away by a fast piece of music from BECCA called appropriately enough “I’m Alive!” the closing theme to the anime series “Black Butler”.
On the blog front, Kallamus joins us for his review of the Marvel series Agents of Shield. His next review Brick Mansion doesn’t miss a step and
Running out of time, I finish this weeks program with the final chapters to Isaac Asimov’s “The Final Question”
And that is Beam Me Up episode 425 I hope you enjoy the program

I speak briefly about Isaac Asimov and John Campbell as their work together. This week chapter four of “The Last Question”
I read the intro from (“my anime guy”) better known as “Mebbles” which he posted on the blog. Mebbles also has some favorite anime music of which I play a selection. For my part, I mention a couple of series that I have have enjoyed over the past few months.
Next on the agenda is chapter 4 of the “Last Question” by Isaac Asimov.
I read “Meebles” introduction letter. (he should prove to be an excellent addition to the staff) plus he includes a fun url for his favorite anime music which I just can’t resist!
I talk about a couple of anime series that I just finished watching.
Kalimus posts a review of Asylum productions newest outing z Nation.
I talk about Dremel’s newest printer which is an affordable 3d printer and how it reminded me of a story by Cory Doctorow.
