Episode 30 of the podcast – The Connections Are Clean – is now live.
Time-sensitive announcement: As covered in the Breaking News segment, the next season of the Preconstructed League is starting up very soon for Reboot. This is one of the easiest ways to jump in and see what the Reboot Project has to offer. It offers a little bit of structure but not a huge investment since it takes the form of an asynchronous five-round tournament over the course of several weeks. If you’re interested, go to the Reboot Project Discord server and sign up in the “preconstructed-league” channel.
The eight segments in this episode are:
1:50 breaking news (winter worlds and precon league)

Also a pre-emptive Feedback Filter segment: I mistakenly said that the Winter Worlds finals were between vslice and Gob Lynn Mode. Actually, the other finalist was Gaslight.
Here is the artwork included with the article about the Tenma Line:
It is entitled, “Ken ‘Express’ Tenma,” by Dmitry Prosvimin
Agreed! There’s a whole book with background and fluff called The Worlds of Android (which I’m slowly working my way through on the podcast). But there’s also a book with just art called The Art of the Android Universe.
