  16. Ep.112: Westworld - 403 - Telegraph

    Just how long was Bernard in The Sublime, and when are we now? Listeners weighed in this week with voicemail and email ranging from conservatively logical to Big D's Express Train to Crazytown. Season 4, Episode 3 also had listeners thinking deep about identity when it comes to Christina,...

    more
  22. Ep.106: Westworld - 401 - Telegraph

  24. Ep.104: Westworld - 401 - Instacast

    It's quiet. Too quiet.

  30. Ep.98: Westworld - 308 - Intacast

    "Holy Guacamole!" cries Ashley Schafly as Westworld's season finale kills off key characters, does some serious soul-searching, and depicts the quietest of riots.

  34. Ep.94: Westworld - 306 - Telegraph
