    This is Doc from the podcast: Heroes of Science Fiction and Fantasy, been going into Rico’s past episodes. ( I have listened on and off since 2006 more when I could listen at work) I just listened to episode 867 which is a repeat of episode 17 back in 2005. The quality was excellent. The subject was the Wrath of Khan and the host did it justice. I want to shout out Rick Moyer who once in a while will do a guest host episode. So what I am trying to say is this podcast has run over the years and... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Treks in Sci-Fi_925_ST_Resurgence
Q: How did you balance the decision-making paths in the game?
We always knew that this was going to be a player-driven narrative, where it's less about shooting and more classic game elements.
Treks in Sci-Fi_925_ST_Resurgence
Q: How did the process start? What are your roles in the development of Star Trek Resurgence?
We started without necessarily even having a story in mind. It was just the kind of games that we make where the player gets to drive the story based on their choices really lent itself to Star Trek.
Treks in Sci-Fi_936_Space_Command
Q: Marc, would you go back to potentially working on another production?
Marc discusses his interest in writing and directing various genres, including westerns, showcasing versatility in storytelling and character development.

Q: Ethan, maybe since you just joined, tell us a little bit about your starting in this production.
Ethan shares how he initially auditioned for the role and struggled but ultimately was cast after callbacks, describing it as crossing his fingers and hoping for the best.
Treks in Sci-Fi_939_Acolyte
Q: What did you think about the direction of The Acolyte and its portrayal of Jedi?
I feel like the show painted the Jedi in a light that's less heroic and more flawed, depicting them as complacent and missing key threats.
