I Get Paid for This?

Scott Pearson. It takes more than just an author to produce a book. In fact, there's a whole team of people that bring any given book to fruition. It's no different in tie-in fiction like Star Trek. We don't often branch out to talk to anyone but the authors of the new books, and that's an oversight we intend to remedy. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan talk with editor Scott Pearson, who recently took on a more hands-on role after the passing of beloved editor, Margaret Clarke. They discuss Scott's work as both an author and an editor, what the editing process looks like, the enjoyable challenge of producing a Star Trek book while a show is still running and much, much more! In the news segment, we talk about Robb Pearlman's new book of fairy tales from the final frontier.

Not All Things Can Be True

“Chosen Realm” 20th-anniversary reflections The Enterprise crew already knows that there is something unusual about the spheres scattered around the Delphic Expanse, but the extent to which some locals hold them sacred comes into focus when they bring aboard of a group of aliens who find scientific examination of the globes to be paramount to sacrilege.

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!
Trek.fm is amazing

This Podcast covers all that Trek fm has to offer in podcasts. I have been listening to this and To The Voyage non-stop since I added them. There are interviews with cast members and extras, authors, philosophers, technical specs are discussed. Favorite episodes and in depth analysis. So far my favorite episode besides To the Voyage -- STV or Voyager is my fan favorite besides TOS--is Meta Treks 63 Tricorder of Gyges. I love love comparing storylines with well known stories. The great thing about this station is the variety of podcasts, the various podcasters with varying backgrounds, and their fb page with the ability to give input and sometimes make program suggestions. 5 stars and a footprint!
