Kinda wondering about Donny (of "Herville's Gas and Pit" fame), if he's so out of touch with the current state of the world, shouldn't he have been a bit surprised upon meeting a Dogboy?
Not complaining mind you, that whole scene was awesome, just wondering.

Dog Boys were present during the Golden Age of Man, the Lone Star Complex is how the Coalition got the technology. If that is when he is from he might know they exist.
If this is a Fadetown it is also possible that they have been in and out of phase enough to get a general feel for the current state of the World.
In either case it is possible to be familiar with Dog Boys, but not with Dragons.
I did enjoy the interaction. I think Indiana has figured out what is going on, but he is focused on the mission. This will be a great thing to explore on the way home.

Not official, but they usually drop the podcast before the next live show, so Monday the 31st?

Last time, it was three days after. They don't do much post-processing; they just add the music at each end and write show notes for the feeds.

With a Strength of d12+4, Tiffany could easily lift 1,000 pounds, but her maximum weight limit is 2,000 pounds. She could carry the characters over the river, but not the truck. She'd have to have a d12+5 or better to easily lift the truck. See the Super-Strength Chart on pg. 65 of the Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide.
If one of Tiffany's psionic powers is Boost/Lower Trait, she could use that to increase her Strength to where she could carry the truck.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but they didn't take the truck, they hade a dune buggy type vehicle. They didn't have to haul poutine boy with them this time.

Ah, right... dune buggy wouldn't weigh a ton, so Tiff could probably easily lift it. Still, my post is a good reminder of the Super Strength table for others. As for me, I don't require a Strength check to lift something. Either you can lift it or not. The only exception would be in dramatic situations to increase tension. Can you move that heavy bookcase to bar the door before the zombies get to you? Strength check! (One could even use the Dramatic Task rules for the example I gave above... reeeaaaaaalllly draw out the fear and tension... you have a time limit... bar that door, or it's zombie jamboree time!)

Zombie Jamboree sounds like a good time. I'll go get the marshmallows and chocolate. You can stay and light the fire for our guests.

Hmm... The fadetown could have some sort of time portal to the past through which they receive programming. Perhaps at some point, they will get the news of the end of the world, and then their feed will stop.

GM Gripes (Which you can ignore because it's your own damn game and you can run it however you like): - Try to tie in Interludes with what is going on with the story/scene to avoid the "Uuuum, let me think about this." For example, if at your campsite you found Vaughn's shoe with nothing else you could ask Abracadabra (heh) "As you bed down and the fires are lit you can't get Vaughn's shoe out of your mind. *flips a Club* Tell me about a tragedy in your past where a similar discovery didn't end well."
- If there's no question that a player can do or see something don't ask for a roll, maybe? I thought it was unnecessary to call for the camp site Notice rolls or for flying the buggy across the obstacle. Instead, try creating reasons why these rolls are necessary through narrative.
- I know it might be creepy sounding, but when Tiffany transforms into her human form is she clothed from the change or does she have a change of clothes? I vaguely remember there being talk of a jump suit or something in an earlier episode, but I can't remember.
Sorry, I'll shut up now.

She's at least eighteen in Dragon years, right?
