For all The Expanse fans out there, don’t miss!

As a huge fan of all things The Expanse, both the series and the books (9th and last book is FINISHED, thank you Ty & Daniel), this gem of a podcast is something I stumbled upon first on YouTube and found irresistible even at an unhurried hour+ playtime per episode.

In fact, that’s the best part about it, Ty & Wes clearly don’t give a hoot about viewership, they do this because they enjoy the banter, while discussing funny or illuminating BTS tidbits, they give us glimpses of the creative processes that go into the filmmaking and the writing. In each episode they hilariously announce their top five movies in whatever genres that come up in each episode. Wes is of course always right. (This is how I ended up watching Logan’s Run… interesting but didn’t love it, sorry)

They are self deprecating yet cocksure masters of their craft, Wes is thoughtful, articulate and NOTHING like Amos (in a good way), Ty’s love for his wife will make you cry, and the guests are amazing (Thomas Jane! Ron Perlman!). I always end up learning a ton, and always look forward to the next episode. Highly recommended.
