“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

The Didactic Mind podcast is FINALLY back, after a long hiatus due to… well, sheer laziness, mostly, and a real lack of desire to talk about much of the craziness around us. Nonetheless, recent events in the West and Russia have made a podcast necessary to...
