This episode of the Comfort Blanket podcast describes very well how I feel about Star Trek. I am younger than the guest so my comforting Trek is a little broader, including TOS, TAS and TNG, but the feelings are the same.

This was recently featured on the #ComfortBlanket podcast (appropriately enough for #PrideMonth), and seeing as it somehow passed me by on release, I got interested. I've just ordered the DVD, and actually this is the THIRD time that I've bought a piece of media after listening to a Comfort Blanket episode. They're a brilliant marketing partner for people whose royalties might have petered out :) (I'm joking, of course - they don't actually get sponsored!)

Saw some horrible news. Distracted myself by looking up the etymology of "whippersnapper":

*a seventeenth-century term for a young man with nothing better to do than to hang about idly snapping a whip*

I feel much better now.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, @joelmorris has no guest for the latest episode of @comfortblanket* - it's up to *you* to step in. What lovely thing are you bringing to the table?

I'd bring The Simpsons.

Mrs McG would bring Gilmore Girls.

(* not really, this is just a silly game)

(Also, if you don't already, listen to Comfort Blanket, it's brilliant.)
