Captains' Logs and Lightsabers Jonathan Hile

On episode 35 of CLL, Jonathan is joined by John Ambrose from the Geek News Now writing team. Ambrose has been a staff writer for GNN for just about one year and he recently published his 100th article for the site. Ambrose has a lot of available spaces on his geeky bingo card and is launching a new project called "An Old Geek Watches" where he tries to catch up on the geeky things in media that he's missed up to this point in his life. He's starting to watch Star Trek from the very beginning to start to fill in those gaps. Jonathan wanted to bring Ambrose on to answer his questions about Trek and to find out what his awareness of the franchise consists of.

You know what they say about the road to Hell…the promise of more content has eluded the CLL crew since early January.  But Jonathan and Chris are back to discuss their thoughts on the first half of Season 3 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch. In this Biizarro World episode of the podcast, the segments are out of their typical order, but we still cover them!

Chris and Jonathan return with the first CLL of 2024 to catch up on a bunch of news stories that have broken throughout January from both Star Trek and Star Wars. The episode wraps up with a lively discussion about the Bad Batch Season 3 trailer and expectations. Contrary to Jonathan's counting snafu, this is actually Episode 33…

CLL #32 - Past/Future Tense

Captains' Logs and Lightsabers Podcast is back for its final episode of 2023 and we take a look in the rear view mirror at our favorite Star Trek and Star Wars projects throughout the year. Jonathan waxes poetic about a video game, Chris and Jonathan rehash their adoration for Picard Season 3, and more! The hosts also mention some of the things they're looking forward to in 2024 from both franchises, despite an overall lack of information about what's to come from either franchise. Before Chris and Jonathan discuss past and future things, they catch up the audience on their personal and professional lives, Jonathan talks about seeing John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Chris and Jonathan discuss their coverage of Steel City Con for Geek News Now as well as talk about their personal experiences at the December show.

Geek News Now is "FUELED BY THE FANS" and Captains' Logs and Lightsabers Podcast is too! On Star Trek Day, September 8, Geek News Now posted a photo asking YOU to react to your favorite Starfleet captain. The post was notably missing one Captain Benjamin Sisko and y'all let us know it! There were hundreds of comments asking about Sisko, so seeing as how Star Trek is kinda our thing, the hosts of CLL decided to get together and pick their favorite Sisko episodes and the things that we feel make Sisko a unique personality and a wonderful Starfleet captain! We brought back John Mark Tolly from the GNN shows War of the Stars: A Star Wars Podcast and Star Wars Through The Eyes of a Child to wax poetic about the inimitable Benjamin Sisko!
