In Episode #26, the Pavement Pounders were delighted to be joined by Nicholas Jensen to talk about Starship Troopers, the Robert Heinlein novel and the Paul Verhoeven film of the same name (if not the same content).
This podcast also features a brief segment from a longer discussion with Keith Kato of The Heinlein Society. The full interview, minus the Starship Troopers part, will be released as Episode #27 in the coming weeks.
