Today’s episode of X-Lapsed takes us a bit off the beaten path inasfar as our Dawn of X coverage has gone… and right into your humble host’s own personal X-Fan wheelhouse! Today’s issue was written by Fabian Nicieza, who loomed large in the X-Braintrust when I was just finding my footing in the franchise… and who really informed my take on what the X-Men are. Mr. Nicieza is also, in a roundabout way, responsible for my becoming pals with a real good buddy of mine – and I’ll tell ya how today!
Also: More Mailbag – and some Ecks of Tens housekeeping!

I was listening to this episode while my husband was out picking up our veg so he came in during the feedback. He heard you say that you had never seen Bill and Ted and was shocked and disgusted. This meant I also had to admit that I have also never seen any of the Bill and Ted films. My husband is now shocked and disgusted with me. So thanks for that, Chris.
As for Juggernaut number 1, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Your anecdote about Fabian Nicieza was amusing. I have an amazing ability to accidentally insult comics professionals so I was glad to hear I'm not alone. I would definitely be up for a continuation of this series after X of Tens.
Good luck with your move. I can't believe you're going to keep releasing episodes. I only do one podcast a month and I've fallen well behind just because my sinuses are playing up. You really are inspirational.
Anyway until Juggernaut turns the gem of cytorrak into a nice pair of earrings, Make Mine X-Lapsed!
