I don't think that you have to justify a B5 podcast at all.  But then I didn't
really see that Stephanie was correct that we all needed to branch out to let
fandom know about the podcasts, either.  They exist and they've been mentioned
and linked to at all of the communities I hang out at. They're simply not to my
taste, just as the non-B5-news threads here aren't to yours.  Nothing wrong
with
that.

One poster posted one semi-serious grouse but wasn't against them really.  He
just didn't care for one person involved.  There's been no hint of any attempt
to 'suppress' the news of the podcasts or discourage discussion of them at all.

So far they simply haven't sparked any major conversations (well, okay, one). 
Is that standing in the way?  I don't think so.
