I know what some of you are saying. I need to do another podcast like I need to be locked inside a testing facility with a mad artificial intelligence. But this is different. Justin Robert Young and I are kicking off a limited series. We promise. Only 13 episodes. You’ll be wrapped by January.

It’s an experiment based on an idea we started joking about at Dragon*Con. Essentially it’s a SciFi/Fantasy sports league. Each week, we’ll look into the fates of 8 teams like the Mordor Crows, Serenity Valley Fireflys and Arrakis Barons. So it’s SportsCenter for SciFi nerds. Sort of.

You’ll just have to listen to the season preview episode which is up now at FSLTonight.com And then make your predictions in the comments there.

Justin Robert Young and Tom Merritt break down the teams and what to expect in the upcoming season. Can anyone beat Mordor? Will Alderaan survive in the face of their rivals, the newly elevated Coruscant Empire? Will Vulcan or Serenity Valley win the East? Our hosts deal with all these questions and more as we head towards the Thursday kickoff of FSL play.
