The A-Dub Club is a podcast hosted by Alex Wade and Andrew Whipple where they tackle the big questions in science fiction, fantasy, technology, pop culture, and general nerdery. Tune in to discuss questions like "Should fictional magic always have rules?", "Would a robot apocalypse really be that bad?", and "Is That So Raven sci-fi or fantasy?" It's a fun, silly, and very occasionally smart dive into the stuff we love. And if you have questions for the club, send them to theawclub@gmail.com
