December 2023 News Round-Up (259)

December and 2023 are behind us but the news never stops. Join us for the final News Round-Up of 2023. The conversation covers Ridley Scott's work ethic, sunken planes and an uncomfortable abundance of dystopias.

Craig McKenzie can be found on this very site and over on We Are Starfleet on the We Made This podcast network. Chris can also be found on a Sunday between 12 and 2pm GMT live on Black Diamond FM and periodically on Lave Radio.
