Want to know a little more about the people behind the beards you're sponsoring this month? Here's the first in my eleven part series, "Better Know a Beard".

Wesley Clifford is the creative force behind the Planet Retcon Radio and Volcanicast podcasts. Planet Retcon Radio featured fully-dramatized science fiction tales authored by Wesley and performed by Wesley and several of his extremely talented friends. The flagship of Planet Retcon was "The Stargate Cafe", a Parsec-Award-winning series that followed the adventures of the staff of an eatery located in the bowels of an interstellar transit station.

Planet Retcon—along with its second series, "The Log of the Crimson Lien"—is on indefinite hiatus, but Wesley can still be heard every week on Volcanicast, the weekly roundup of trending Google search topics. It's an irreverent and definitely adult-oriented exploration into what people are looking for...and why.
