  • Such a great concept

    While this is definitely a Star Trek review podcast, one of its ancestors might have married a late night radio call-in show. The result is a different kind of show that always keeps its community and Star Trek’s ethos close to its heart

  • The most underrated Trek podcast

    Love this podcast, real insight and behind the scenes interviews with cast and crew and it’s clear the guests want to be there, there’s no going through the motions, just genuine connection and sharing of knowledge with hosts that put their guests and listeners first.

    Placing listeners calls and questions at the forefront makes for a unique listening experience and I highly recommend joining their community. There’s something really special here, it’s the best kept secret in trek podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nami Melumad Interview - Making Music Pike Listens To
Q: How does the score get created for a single episode?
The score starts with locked visuals, a spotting session, and then mockups and sketches that are refined after director and showrunner notes; the orchestra records the final music, followed by mixing and dubbing to balance dialogue, effects, and score.
OPN Interview with Visual Effects Supervisor Alex Wood
Q: What is your job description as a VFX supervisor on set?
I oversee the production-side needs of visual effects, communicate with actors and directors, ensure that what's planned in the budget is what gets shot, and coordinate with production designers and post teams to integrate practical and digital assets.
OPN Interview with Visual Effects Supervisor Alex Wood
Q: How did you get hired for Discovery?
I was working on the vendor side, connected through Pixelmondo, interviewed for the on-set supervisor role, and joined right as the first episodes progressed, which opened the door to a long-running involvement across Star Trek projects.
Let's take a "Gamble" - Chris Myers joins the OPN Stage!
Q: How much did you know about Gamble's arc during auditioning and early prep?
I didn't know the full arc; I only had two scenes to audition with, Gamble-esque and Vezda-esque, and I had to bring range without a clear backstory, trusting the writers and crafting through collaboration once on set.
Tripping Over God Aliens - Larry Nemecek discusses "The Squire of Gothos"
Q: Did Gene Roddenberry explicitly link Q to Trelane, or was it more of a fan-driven connection?
The panel suggests there was no formal explicit link in the production notes, but there is a strong implicit connection in how creators and fans read the characters; over time, Q and Trelane have been discussed as part of the same lineage of god-like beings in Star Trek lore.
