Mentioned In Dispatches S16 E3 – Connections Online 5yr Anniversary

13 February 2026 ~

Brant, Chris, and Merle¹ gather ’round the virtual campfire to talk about why & how Connections Online came into being, a couple of standout panels & stories from the past 5 years of events, and the inevitable struggle to stay on topic whenever another shiny digression goes prancing across their view.

Some key links and references—

Also, pay no attention to the SETI intercepts in the background of Merle’s audio whenever he’s talking.
