(production notes) Episode 3.5 (Patreon)

Half way though season 3! I know I shouldn't be surprised but it catches me every time. Every episode is a personal best, and I'm so grateful to be able to keep doing it. That's down to you lot, thank you.

I've introduced the ESA Constellation, finally. Something I've always imagined existing, ever since Seth described his 'brothers and sisters in orbit' in Episode 1.1.

In many ways, the satellite network above mirrors the ground network (of various shortwave, microwave, and cable repeater stations) that Seth communicates with.

I've had chats with many listeners about REALISM in the podcast. It's a tough balance to strike. Though I strive to ground the podcast in reality as much as possible, (I studied networking and computing at university, can you tell?) I never want to let that get in the way of a fun, engaging story. You're not here (I presume) for a lesson in entropy!

Researching Geneva makes me want to visit, perhaps in the summer, before the lake dries up. See you all next week <3
