    Once We Were in Saddam's Palace | Episode 49
    Oct 14 2026
    Alan once spotted a rock legend across a crowded bar and decided, with a little liquid courage, that he had to say hello. He had one shot at a first impression. He did not stick the landing. Nathan has his own brushes with greatness, including a surprise phone call with a childhood hero and a run-in with a comedy icon. Follow Once We Were Spacemen wherever you get your podcasts.

    Oct 7 2026
    Mekia Cox doesn’t do anything halfway. Eight months after having a baby, she joined The Rookie and spent her first week sprinting after a stunt double and (literally) getting thrown by Nathan. She’s been going all out since age seven, when she started performing professionally. During one audition, she gave so much that the only note she received was to calm down. That commitment extends to a specific sound she makes on set. Nathan enjoys watching new guest stars hear it for the first time. Follow Once We Were Spacemen wherever you get your podcasts.

    Once We Were Chased by the Military | Episode 47
    Sep 30 2026
    In this episode, we learn just how close Alan came to spending time in a military prison. Spoiler, it was close. It was very close. Meanwhile, Nathan’s home seems to be conspiring against him. From critters (living and dead) to rogue appliances, it’s one battle after another. Sit back, relax, and get ready to learn absolutely nothing.

Alan and Nathan's warmth and comradery really comes through in this and learning more about them and the guests is really cool. A must listen for any of their fans, Firefly or otherwise.

Love listening to Nathan and Alan talk about their life experience and I love the guests they have not just from firefly but other people they've worked with as well. I've recommended this podcast to a few people I know and if you're reading this I'm recommending it to you too.

Highly Recommended

Two very funny actors in their 50s talking about life and the projects they've been involved as well talking to guest stars they have known. This podcast reminds me of many a buddy comedy. Outstanding.
