The White Iris Jun 07, 2015

Show notes

The day has finally come!

After what seemed like an eternity, the fourth episode from the amazing team at Star Trek Continues has premiered!

Dan and Bill have been doing nothing but geeking out since it debuted and now sit down to podcast their thoughts. In this week's Special Edition of the Trek Geeks Podcast, they delve into "The White Iris!" (For the record, Dan has seen the episode 10 times and Bill has only seen it 9. Dan's always been a bit of an over-achiever and Dan thinks Bill doesn't try nearly hard enough.)

However, BE WARNED:

GEEKS BEWARE--AHEAD BE SPOILERS!

Seriously. We're not kidding.

We're warning you now--in this episode, there will be a thorough and comprehensive synopsis of the episode from start to finish that will reveal every single detail of the episode. If you haven't seen this episode yet, then PLEASE--do yourself a favor and do NOT listen to this episode of the podcast yet. It WILL be spoiled for you, otherwise.

Instead go here first and watch Episode 4: http://www.startrekcontinues.com/episodes.html

John Champion May 29, 2015

Show notes

Bill and Dan sit down and talk with co-host of the hugely popular Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast, the truly delightful John Champion! (You know, the one that isn't looking to transplant his consciousness into a robot body. THAT guy.)

John talks about the various pop culture influences he had growing up, how Mission Log was launched, Star Trek canon, and even his audition for the part of Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation! It's a conversation that brought us back to our geek roots growing up in the 70's--and we even sketch out a potential "Love Boat LIVE Podcast." We might even work in a discussion on the great Hal Needham! Join us for a great conversation with John!

Kim Stinger May 10, 2015

Show notes

This week, Bill and Dan are joined by Starfleet's finest Communications Officer on the Trek Geeks Podcast--the delightful Kim Stinger from Star Trek Continues!

An actress who has appeared on television, in film, and in commercials, Kim chats about meeting the legendary Nichelle Nichols, taking on the iconic role of Uhura, and what it's like on the set of Star Trek Continues. Plus, Bill and Dan start the hashtag #GiveUhuraCommand while discussing the possibility of Kim taking the Center Seat on the Bridge of the Enterprise!

We hope you enjoy our conversation with Kim Stinger!

PRODUCTION NOTE:

There are some audio quality issues due to internet lag during our Skype call with Kim. There are a couple of instances where it sounds like her audio goes in slow motion for a few seconds. We apologize in advance for the quality issues and hope you'll enjoy the episode.

Walking the Promenade May 04, 2015

Show notes

Andrew J. Robinson Apr 24, 2015

Show notes

This week on the Trek Geeks Podcast, we're joined by the actor behind one of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's most intriguing characters, Andrew J. Robinson!

Given Garak's popularity among fans, it's hard to believe that he was only in 39 episodes of the series, isn't it?

Andy chats with Bill and Dan about his time on DS9, his insight into creating his character Scorpio in "Dirty Harry," his novel based on Garak, and how the Mirror Universe episodes weren't exactly his favorite (Sorry, Dan.), and his role now as a Professor at the University of Southern California School of Dramatic Arts! He might also talk a little "Hellraiser" with us. Allegedly. ;)

We hope you enjoy this week's episode as much as we did!

Nana Visitor Apr 11, 2015

Show notes

This week on the Trek Geeks Podcast, we're joined by the gracious and delightful Nana Visitor from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine!

Nana played one of Star Trek's strongest and memorable characters--Colonel Kira Nerys of the Bajoran Militia, but is also known for her work on such television shows as Dark Angel, Wildfire, and even Seth MacFarlane's long-running Family Guy.

She joins Bill and Dan for a great discussion on creating the Kira character, women and the Star Trek Universse, how DS9 has held up over time, how a new generation of fans is discovering the series, and even a little Friday the 13th talk!

PROGRAM NOTE:

The Trek Geeks Podcast will return in two weeks with episode 11. Bill thinks he deserves a vacation. For what, we're not exactly sure, but he's taking one, anyway. Must be nice, huh?
