It actually began in episode 70 of the Babylon Podcast. After Summer had challenged me (Jarsto) to come up with something amazing for the next listener feedback segment. I hit on the idea of doing voice in character and linking it with Edmund’s character Agent 6, which was largely meant as a one off gag.
But once we’d done the voicemails the plot was so intriguing that, in the end, it kicked off an entire audio-drama set in the Babylon 5 universe. In this episode especially that unexpected shift from novelty voicemail to audio-drama has resulted in the presence of a couple of Babylon Podcast references. Fortunately not to such an extent that it can’t hold it’s own without the original surrounding content.
In this episode the story starts, with the EAS Netherlands preparing, and executing, an attack on Psi-Corps’ communications station on Syria Planum.

The day will come when the Babylon Podcast will be to TES what Tracy Ullmann is to the Simpsons - an answer to a trivia question.

Thanks guys for these shows. I’m normally not a big fan of fan fiction. But I have been really enjoying these shows on the Babylon Podcast. I’m looking forward to all the new shows on this feed.
So when does the Babylon Podcast start deep geeking about the Three Edged Sword series

I remember when this came up. It was nice how they had the voice mails spaced out until the end and it really made it a nice surprised how they two voice mails came together. I was really into it the moment I realized what was going on, and I’ve been looking forward to it since it became organized on the Babylon Podcast. I’m looking forward to the rest of the first season, and what will follow.
Keep up the good work guys.
