- Q&A: Where we explore the meaning of the universe, or at least the questions you lob at me. Leave questions ahead of time in the comments below or during the show in the irc channel.
I look forward to your questions, comments and feedback. You can leave questions for the show in the comments below or drop them live during the show in #luminosity on irc.freenode.net.
