The Live Long and Podcast crew begin a brand-new journey through Foundation with the series premiere, "The Emperor's Peace" (2021). When mathematical prodigy Gaal Dornick arrives on Trantor to study under the legendary Hari Seldon, she becomes entangled in a prediction that threatens the very future of the Galactic Empire. As psychohistory, political intrigue, and imperial power collide, Foundation launches one of the most ambitious stories ever adapted for television.

Join us as we take our first steps into Isaac Asimov's iconic universe and begin our review of Apple TV+'s Foundation.
