Trek Podcast Month
It's finally here! After several weeks of scheduling, recording and editing The Dr. Sci-Fi Show is launching it's first month long special. Trek Podcast Month As they say I'm not just a podcaster, I'm also a listener (nobody says that) and many of the shows I listen to are about Star Trek. Without any latinum changing hands five of my favorite shows have agreed to a crossover episode where we talk about their podcast, how they got started and what kind of show they wish to create each week.
Trek Podcast Month features a dozen hosts between five spectacular Star Trek shows. Each one bringing its own unique take to the franchise. Some plan to cover each episode of a Star Trek series (or every series). Others focus on news, interviews and commentary.
The Ready Room (08/02/13) - Listen Now
Our first guest is Christopher Jones from Tokyo Japan. He is the founder and publisher of Trek.fm and host of several of their podcasts including. The Ready Room, Literary Treks, The Orb, Matter Stream, and his newest show Warp Five.
"An enhanced audio podcast hosted by Christopher Jones, The Rady Room is a casual discussion show split into two sections: news and feature. In each episode Chris and guests discuss several Star Trek news stories as well as delve into a feature topic such as a focus on a series, a movie, Star Trek history, concepts, and even its future. The feature is a panel discussion with one or two guests per show."

This Week In Trek (08/30/13) - Listen Now
Wrapping up this month I am joined by Mike Gaines & Darrell Skeels who always have something to say about Star Trek in This Week in Trek. These two cover episodes, toys, models, events, movies, and all of the latest Trek news.
"Mike - I suppose that it was my fascination with the science of Star Trek, coupled with my love of gadgets in the real world that got me into computers. Learning how they worked made me appreciate them more, even though I knew at the time you couldn’t talk to them (yet). So Star Trek has been a large influence in my life. I couldn’t be happier that it exists.
Darrell - In the days before The Next Generation I considered myself the “champion of all things Star Trek”. I could name an episode from the first images, and recite every line from memory. Often it may seem that I am hyper-critical of Star Trek and its spin-offs, but this is done out of love. I want the very best for Star Trek and want it to maintain its spirit as was envisioned by its creator, Gene Roddenberry. If a version of Trek isn’t how Gene would have done it, then I’m not going to support it."
