Episode 10 - Finished Podcasts Are For Decadent Minds

The start of the Apple TV+ series is now less than a month away and we're approaching the end of our discussion of Asimov's original trilogy! Join us for episode ten.  That's 10! Our first round number!  And it's not 10 base-two or 10 base-eight but 10 base-ten!  That makes it the tenest ten! We've finally jumped into Second Foundation!  We'll be talking about the first story, "Search by the Mule," known as "Now You See It" when it appeared in Astounding Science Fiction.  See the final fate of Han Pritcher!  Learn the ultimate destiny of the Mule!  Marvel at the awesome presence of the Second Foundation!  Swoon at the other stuff!  A podcast 80 years in the making! Sadly, True Believers, no one claimed the No-Prize from Episode 9; the Hitchhiker's Guide Reference comes from Chapter 25 when two philosophers, Vroomfondel and Majikthise are confronting Deep Thought about how the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.  That could put philosophers out of business you know!  Anyhow, at some point Vroomfondel shouts "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!" which I maintain is one of the finest sentences ever written in the language of Shakespeare.  And which I borrowed a piece of for episode 9's description.  Always steal from the best and then provide a citation. But never fear!  That was an obscure one!  In this Episode's Asimov Trivia you'll have another chance at the glory of a prize that isn't actually anything!  We've added an extra question for you folks at home and to make things more interesting we'll allow multiple winners!  No-Prizes will be awarded not only to the correct answer but to any answer with an interesting explanation.  Always show your work!
