The first episode of the Utopia Podcast hosted by incurable bookworm Liam Tinker! We start figuring out what a utopia is and make our first foray into the world of utopian lit with sci-fi legend Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas."

I do mention a forthcoming episode for next next week a couple times, but it will in reality be recorded and released sometime within the next month. Oops...

Main intro music is from "Nucleus" by The Alan Parsons Project and story intro is from "Txalaparta Mística" by Tomás San Miguel.
