The White Rocket Podcast

This week Van is joined by Keith RA DeCandido, famed author of many STAR TREK (and other movie/TV) novels and comics, to walk down memory lane--or rather to walk through the Hyatt Regency, Marriott Marquis, and Peachtree Street--as they recount their favorite DragonCon memories.

So put on your best Stormtrooper armor, share a hotel room with twelve other people, and enjoy!
