There is learning your ABCs and then there is learning the names of the International Rescue vehicles! Which is more important? The Thunderbirds obviously!

A sports journalist and writer by trade, David recalls balancing his love of sports with a love of sci-fi, Thunderbirds as a family event involving multiple generations, and television as a medium combing the best of sound design, special effects, and music to create a believable world to give kids a means of better understanding the grown-up world. 01:07 Welcome aboard Fireball XL165! 03:32 The Day After FAB Facts 10:48 Podsteron Postbag 18:15 The Gerry Anderson News!
