If you are a Battlestar Galactica fan, this is a must listen. Richard Hatch gives an inside memoir of his journey from Apollo on the original series to Tom Zarek on the re-imagined series. He remembers his relationships with cast members & guest stars; the conventions & encounters with fans; his attempt to revive the show initial reaction to the new series, and a change of heart while being part of the cast.

While not overly long, it's great to hear Richard's voice. I always found him intelligent, well spoken and gracious to fans and interviewers. His love for the BSG world was eviddnt . He is sorely missed.
