    The AFA Podcast Interview: Barry J Kelly (Star Trek: Lower Decks)

    Welcome back to The AFA Podcast interview series. This time we boldly go and spoke to Barry J Kelly, an episode director on the adult animation sci-fi comedy Star Trek Lower Decks. He talks about his career so far, his history with Star Trek and what makes Lower Decks so "Star Trekky". Just as a heads up, we had a slight issue with the sound because for some reason it recorded with my internal mic. So mu audio is a little on the quiet side but hopefully it won't distract from your enjoyment too much!
