03a - "The Meeting" (1973)

Originally recorded May 10, 2023

1973 had two winners. The other episode will be uploaded one day after this one!

The Worldcon attendance in 1973 ended in tie for the top spot. The first is "The Meeting", where a father attends a PTO meeting at his son's school before receiving a dreaded phone call. Jack and Sam ponder the definition(s) of intelligence, an individual's act of evil versus society's, and making all the wrong decisions.
