Last Friday we sat down (virtually) with David S. Goyer, the creator and executive producer of Foundation, to ask him some of the questions we’ve had about the show thus far, as well as the questions you submitted to us. Apologies to anyone whose question we didn’t get to and a big thank you to David for sharing his time with us. Respect and enjoy the interview.
