Robert Stek and Monica Schmidt are Star Trek fans who also happen to belong to The Baker Street Irregulars, America’s preeminent Sherlock Holmes society.

You know him as “Dr. Trek,” but how much do you really know about Larry Nemecek? How did he discover Star Trek? Why was he asked to create the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion? And what is his reaction to the news that the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror is giving the TNG cast a Lifetime Achievement Award? I’ve got the answers to these questions and ...
Tawny Newsome is excited to be able to talk about Star Trek again now that the SAG-AFTRA strike seems to be over. I was able to monopolize a few minutes of her time to talk about her character, Beckett Mariner, in Star Trek: Lower Decks, as well as that crossover episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and being in the writers room of the upcoming series Star Trek: Starlet Academy. I’m T. Rick Jones and this is your ...

On July 13, SAG-AFTRA went on strike, walking off film and television sets and joining the WGA in demanding a square deal from producers. Nearly two months later, that deal seems as distant as ever. You know Michelle Hurd from her work as Raffi on Star Trek: Picard, but you may also know that she is the Vice President of SAG-AFTRA. She joined me to talk about the ongoing strike and the upcoming United We Trek event.
WHAT: United We...
The Gorn were created for an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, with a stuntman portraying the lizard creature in an unwieldy costume. We saw one again in Star Trek: Enterprise, courtesy of some pretty bad CGI. Now they’re a recurring threat in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds where the combination of practical effects and CGI make them arguably the best-looking iteration of the species. I had a chance to talk to...
The latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, “Under the Cloak of War,” is a look at the emotional consequences of war. When Klingon Ambassador Dak’Rah, known as the Butcher of J’Gal, boards the ship claiming he’s on a mission of peace, it stirs up strong emotions from the crew, many of whom are suffering from PTSD from the Federation-Klingon War. It’s a dramatic episode with a message at its heart reminiscent ...
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 is halfway over, and while it is not universally hailed as the best modern Trek show, it certainly has a preponderance of fans proclaiming it as such. The latest episode takes Spock where he’s never gone before when an alien race “fixes” him by removing the genetic markers that make him half-Vulcan, thereby rendering him completely human. Such a light-hearted episode deserves an experienced co...
You know LeVar Burton as Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge of the USS Enterprise-D and more recently as a Commodore and curator of the Fleet Museum. His daughter Mica is known as a professional cosplayer, a video game enthusiast, and Commodore La Forge’s daughter Alandra. But what was it like for this father-daughter team to work together on Star Trek: Picard’s final season? Learn the answer to this and other questions in this special...
Late last year, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights announced their next flight. Dubbed the Enterprise mission, it will see the remains of several Star Trek luminaries journeying into the final frontier on the Vulcan Centaur rocket. Since the announcement, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing friends and family members of the late, great cast and crew who will be blasting off next month. Throughout the months of April and May, I’ll be ...
On May 3rd I was a guest on an early-morning BBC Radio 2 program hosted by OJ Borg. The segment’s called Midnight Mastermind and the idea is that Borg’s guest gives him a subject which he has the length of a song to research. At the end of the song, the guest quizzes him to see how much he was able to absorb.

SciFi Talk's Tony Tellado has been on DSTN's podcast before, and our Managing Editor, T. Rick Jones, has been on his. They both enjoyed the third season of Picard so much that they wanted to geek out about it, and they decided to give you the opportunity to listen in! They also discussed the latest announcement by Paramount of a Section 31 event movie, due to begin production later this year.
