This week, Cernaq makes a surprising discovery about Cami, and Carson makes an equally surprising discovery about Ehrrik.  Meanwhile, the rest of the Arbiters come face to face with survivors of the disaster on Andis III. Will they help, or will they follow orders and do nothing?

In Act One of this new Arbiters episode, the Captain is away, so Darby will play...  He escorts a celebrated businesswoman on a location scouting expedition to a world presently under quarantine.  Will Darby break the quarantine?  Will Atal catch up to them in time?  Oh, and did we mention that the lady's business is erotic entertainment?  Enjoy!

At Christmas time, we think a lot about traditions of the past, and about those who came before us. The group of creative people who put together a fanzine called Contact back in the 1970s are some of the forbears of today's Prometheus Radio Theatre. Many of those writers and artists directly contributed to our being where we are today. It seems appropriate then, that we take some time right now to feature a selection from A Contact Christmas, published in 1979. Steve reads "A Gift of Gold," by Beverly J. Volker and Nancy J. Kippax.
