    SHERLOCK AND STAR TREK, Part 2: "An Automaton"

    SHERLOCK AND STAR TREK, Part 2: "An Automaton"

    There’s a lot of fan crossover between Star Trek and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. In fact, the world’s first consulting detective makes a few cameos in our favorite science fiction series. 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. They joined me to talk about Sherlock and Star Trek.
    In part 2, we observe Brent Spiner (Data) and Daniel Davis' (Moriarty) performances and deduce why there is so much fan crossover between the two properties.

    INTERVIEW: Larry Nemecek's Origin Story

    INTERVIEW: Larry Nemecek's Origin Story

    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?

I’ve got the answers to these questions and more in my first interview of 2024.

    INTERVIEW: Tawny Newsome On Bringing Beckett Mariner to Life and What Her Future Holds in the STAR TREK Universe

    INTERVIEW: Tawny Newsome On Bringing Beckett Mariner to Life and What Her Future Holds in the STAR TREK Universe

    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 Daily Star Trek News.

    POST MORTEM: A Look Back At STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 2, Part 2

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 took some big swings, but did the show's creators hit a home run or get sent back to the dugout? Sci-Fi Talk's Tony Tellado sits down with our Managing Editor, T. Rick Jones to talk about the highs and lows of their bold sophomore season.

Fantastic!

If you love getting a little bit of Trek in your life, five days a week, than this is your podcast!

McDuck1977 ,

Noticeable drop in quality after switch to weakly

The production value really dropped with the change from daily to weekly.

The show was AWESOME when daily, very polished. Now, with a week to prepare, it’s like there is no effort other than a quick internet search and a “let me read what I found” (and the recording sounds like it’s done in one take).

There are other weekly Star Trek news podcasts that are much better (and when the show was daily, I would have said “none of them could touch Allison and her show”) that I would recommend well above this one now.

Thanks!

Every day after I listen to your podcast I say “Thanks Alison” so I thought I would say it here: Thanks Alison! Love the show and appreciate the daily dose of Trek. Peace - f
