Bjorn takes the opportunity to talk a little about how the live performance of “War of the Worlds 2018” came to be. For the remainder of the episode, Bill talks about the inspirations behind our next regular series, Quorum, as well as to what to expect from our first installment, “The Gambler’s Tale: Outstanding Debts.”
