  • The Master of all Feeds

    Great way to catch all the wonderful podcasts on the network, plus a few others! When I started listening to Trek.fm, I listened to the entire back catalogs of Literary Treks and Melodic Treks. Once caught up, I wasn’t sure what to dive into next. So I just picked up with every show where they were at! At some point I will go back and listen to all of The Orb. But there’s just so much good content coming out all the time now! It’s almost hard to keep up, but I do!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I'm Pretty Sure That Was a Tholian
Q: Would you care to let everyone know what that is?
The guests describe the Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home making-of book from Titan Books, outlining its interviews, production art, and behind-the-scenes content, while the hosts connect it to the broader Star Trek literature ecosystem.
The Messier Side of Life
Q: What makes Sanctuary stand out in its handling of immigration themes?
The episode stands out by presenting immigration as a complex, morally gray issue rather than a simple rescue or happy ending, emphasizing cultural tension, potential futures, and the need for nuanced decision-making.
The Chekov Book
Q: Can you just talk a little bit about how the book came about?
Greg mentions that his last several novels were TOS and that he wanted to give Chekov a moment in the sun since he hadn't done much with him.
Go with the Flow
Q: How do you craft the story to fit the confines of what's going on in the air and also try to be original?
By getting the final draft scripts early and mapping out character arcs and story threads.
Where on the Ship Is La'an Sandiego?
Q: What are your thoughts on the cold open and its necessity for the episode?
The cold open seems unnecessary and distracts from the main narrative, as it does not contribute meaningfully to the storyline and feels gimmicky.
