Podcast appearances and mentions of john trimble

Even if they know the exact field of law they want to dive into after graduation, my guest today is a testament to why good mentors make sure young attorneys are forced to slow down and consider the larger picture. John Trimble has more than four decades of experience trying and mediating catastrophic, complex, and class action litigation in state and federal court, rightfully earning him a reputation as a major force in the Indiana legal community.As you'll hear in our conversation this week, John is passionate about helping the next generation of lawyers learn to ground themselves in the fundamentals, but the wisdom he has to share is valuable to attorneys at every level. We discuss the oft neglected business-side of the legal profession, why it's a good idea to make succession planning should be a part of the onboarding process, and how a reputation for civility and integrity is the best calling-card you'll ever have. Enjoy the show.

While not every Star Trek fan knows the name Trimble, every true Star Trek fan should. This past week we lost John Trimble, husband of BJo (Betty JoAnn) Trimble, two SciFi fans who stepped up in big way in the 1960's and had a galaxy sized impact on the things we love. As a tribute we replay our 2020 interview with John and Bjo, from episode 347: The Trouble with TrImbles, where we sit down with them and longtime friend Brian Mix to get the story behind the legend right from the source. Thanks for Listening!

In this episode we seek to tap into the record the establishment, historical development of the The All African People's Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) a political party engaged in organizing all people of African descent for The total liberation and unification of Africa under an All-African Socialist Government. I have invited seasoned organizers from the party who have done organizing for decades. They are John Trimble (in Azania/South Africa) and Albie Walls (in Ghana). Albie Walls initially joined the Pan-African movement while a university student in the U.S.A. in the 1980s. A long-time member of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) he has lived and worked in Ghana since 2000. He has traveled extensively in Africa and he has represented the A-APRP on various platforms and programs in Africa, Europe and the U.S.A. His work has involved meeting and working with various Pan-African organizations in different countries as well as extensive work with students of all ages. Among other things, in Ghana he currently works with students, youth, and the community at large, in an effort to help organize and advance the Pan-African movement. John Trimble is an educator and organizer with the Azania chapter of the All African People's Revolutionary Party. John holds a Master's degree from Stanford University in computer science and from UC Berkeley in operations research as well as a Ph.D. in systems engineering from Georgia Tech. In 2015 John retired as an Associate professor in systems and computer science at Howard University. John has recently retired as Professor in Industrial Engineering at Tshwane University of Technology in Azania/South Africa. Dr. Trimble's numerous research interests include ‘the study and development of appropriate technology for national development in Africa and other underdeveloped regions'. Living over two years in Zimbabwe gives Prof. Trimble a good understanding of the impact of sanctions on the people. Working in Rwanda from 2006 to 2008, gave him a clear picture of the aftermath of genocide and the determination of Africa people to rebuild. Since 2014, Trimble has lived in South Africa working closely with the Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) and the Azanian People's Organization (AZAPO). He is a co-founder of the Worldwide Pan-African Movement (WWPAM), an effort to build a coalition of Africanist organizations. Prof. Trimble can be called on to speak on a range of topics.

I talk to Dr. John Trimble on Imperialism and Settler-Colonialism in this episode. John Trimble is an educator and organizer with the Azania chapter of the All African People's Revolutionary Party. John holds a Master's degree from Stanford University in computer science and from UC Berkeley in operations research as well as a Ph.D. in systems engineering from Georgia Tech. In 2015 John retired as an Associate professor in systems and computer science at Howard University. John has recently retired as Professor in Industrial Engineering at Tshwane University of Technology in Azania/South Africa. Points of Discussion: European adventurism and land grabbing in Africa, Pacific, Americas etc., founded settler colonies/states. Capitalism was built on the theft of land and resources in the process of colonization. The effects of settler colonialism on indigenous people. The best approach to reversing the effects of settler colonialism in Africa. Psychological warfare and tactics used by imperialist/colonizers to justify theft of land and the genocide against indigenous people. Settler colonial efforts in Africa from the 1884 Berlin conference. Settler Colonialism in Algeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and South Africa. Africa's transition from independence to neocolonialism. Disunity enables neocolonialism. The crusade to reclaim land back to natives without compensation in Zimbabwe and Azania/South Africa. Why the Pan-African project with political education and organizing are fundamental tools towards the total liberation and unification of Africa from imperialist. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mpilo-nkambule/support

"Legend" is a word that has lost almost all of its meaning, until you get to hear one speak. This is Big John Trimble.

The State of The Star Trek Fandom with Larry Nemecek "Fandom" has seemingly become a dirty word on the internet, but it doesn't have to be that way! "Dr. Trek" Larry Nemecek has been enjoying Star Trek for more time than I've been walking this earth, and if one man knows and understands the fandom, it's certainly him. John discusses the history of the fandom and how two fans named Bjo and John Trimble ensured that the series continued to live on after its initial demise, why there has always been a segment of fans who dislike the latest iteration of a show, "Toxic fans" and "Gatekeepers," how the COVID-19 pandemic actually helped strengthen and create new fans for this franchise, his hope for the future of this fandom, and more!

Navigating throughout the ever-expanding pop culture constellation of the turbulent 1980s, we seek out intelligent new life in the final frontier: the Hollywood blockbuster machine. Meanwhile, comics go uptown, with Pulitzer Prize winners, the birth of graphic novels, and four guys named Neil, Alan, Frank, and Art.Narrated by Brinke StevensCreated and Directed by Mathew KlicksteinExecutive Produced by Rob SchulteWritten and Produced by Mathew Klickstein, Rob Schulte, and Christopher TylerEdited by Rob Shulte, and Christopher TylerMixed by James Bilodeau Original Music Composed by Max DeVincenzo and Produced by Fox Tracks MusicWith help from Brannan Goetschius and Michael FischeAll interviews (unless otherwise noted) conducted by Mathew Klickstein.Principal interviewees/contributors (in alphabetical order):Al Jean, Anthony Russo, Barry Alfonso, Barry Short, Bill Lund, Bill Mumy (provided by contributor), Bill Schanes, Bjo Trimble, Bob Arendt, Brinke Stevens, Bruce Campbell, Caseen Gaines, Chuck Graham (provided by SDSU), Clayton Moore, Dave Clark, Dave Scroggy, Erin Hanna, Gene Henderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Gus Krueger, Felicia Day, Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, Igor Goldkind (provided by SDSU), Jackie Estrada, Jeanne Graham (provided by SDSU), Jim Cornelius, Jim Means, Jim Valentino, Joe Russo, John Pound, John Trimble, Kevin Eastman, Linda Yeh, Lloyd Kaufman, Kevin Smith (provided by contributor), Len Wein (provided by M.

Some would call late Comic-Con founder Shel Dorf “controversial,” others “#$%!!,” still others their “greatest inspiration and friend.” The only thing everyone can agree on is that the Comic-Con would never have happened without Shel. And now his closest Con compadres open up about the reason why. As well as thoughtful reflections of Shel's contentious departure in 1984 … right as the Con and geek culture took a giant leap forward.Narrated by Brinke StevensCreated and Directed by Mathew KlicksteinExecutive Produced by Rob SchulteWritten and Produced by Mathew Klickstein, Rob Schulte, and Christopher TylerEdited by Rob Shulte, and Christopher TylerMixed by James Bilodeau Original Music Composed by Max DeVincenzo and Produced by Fox Tracks MusicWith help from Brannan Goetschius and Michael FischeAll interviews (unless otherwise noted) conducted by Mathew Klickstein.Principal interviewees/contributors (in alphabetical order):Al Jean, Anthony Russo, Barry Alfonso, Barry Short, Bill Lund, Bill Mumy (provided by contributor), Bill Schanes, Bjo Trimble, Bob Arendt, Brinke Stevens, Bruce Campbell, Caseen Gaines, Chuck Graham (provided by SDSU), Clayton Moore, Dave Clark, Dave Scroggy, Erin Hanna, Gene Henderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Gus Krueger, Felicia Day, Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, Igor Goldkind (provided by SDSU), Jackie Estrada, Jeanne Graham (provided by SDSU), Jim Cornelius, Jim Means, Jim Valentino, Joe Russo, John Pound, John Trimble, Kevin Eastman, Linda Yeh, Lloyd Kaufman, Kevin Smith (provided by contributor), Len Wein (provided by M.

We forge ahead at light speed into the complex scenario of how the first San Diego Comic-Con was cobbled together by our illustrious cast of kooky characters. From there, we venture onward through the mid-1970s as the Con grows exponentially in both physical size and attendance, heralding the “golden years” at a ramshackle downtown hotel that had seen better days called the El Cortez.Narrated by Brinke StevensCreated and Directed by Mathew KlicksteinExecutive Produced by Rob SchulteWritten and Produced by Mathew Klickstein, Rob Schulte, and Christopher TylerEdited by Rob Shulte, and Christopher TylerMixed by James Bilodeau Original Music Composed by Max DeVincenzo and Produced by Fox Tracks MusicWith help from Brannan Goetschius and Michael FischeAll interviews (unless otherwise noted) conducted by Mathew Klickstein.Principal interviewees/contributors (in alphabetical order):Al Jean, Anthony Russo, Barry Alfonso, Barry Short, Bill Lund, Bill Mumy (provided by contributor), Bill Schanes, Bjo Trimble, Bob Arendt, Brinke Stevens, Bruce Campbell, Caseen Gaines, Chuck Graham (provided by SDSU), Clayton Moore, Dave Clark, Dave Scroggy, Erin Hanna, Gene Henderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Gus Krueger, Felicia Day, Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, Igor Goldkind (provided by SDSU), Jackie Estrada, Jeanne Graham (provided by SDSU), Jim Cornelius, Jim Means, Jim Valentino, Joe Russo, John Pound, John Trimble, Kevin Eastman, Linda Yeh, Lloyd Kaufman, Kevin Smith (provided by contributor), Len Wein (provided by M.

Just because they were geeks doesn't mean our intrepid Con creators were any less impacted by the “drugs, sex, and rock-and-roll” of the 1960s. We delve deep into the intimate experiences of these colorful characters of the Comic-Con and how their passion for pop culture was affected by the volatile era's seismic cultural, political, and technological shifts.

We plunge down the time tunnel to the earliest days of fandom: back before nerds were cool, before science fiction was taken seriously, and before comic book characters ruled Hollywood. It was a time when fans could only connect through ‘zines and specialty magazines. A time when MAD Magazine and The Twilight Zone expanded the minds of youth across the nation. And a time when a small group of high school kids in San Diego met a visionary super-fan from Detroit named Shel Dorf.Narrated by Brinke StevensCreated and Directed by Mathew KlicksteinExecutive Produced by Rob SchulteWritten and Produced by Mathew Klickstein, Rob Schulte, Christopher Tyler, and James BilodeauEdited by Rob Shulte, Christopher Tyler, and James BilodeauMixed by James BilodeauOriginal Music Composed by Max DeVincenzo and Produced by Fox Tracks MusicWith help from Brannan Goetschius and Michael FischeAll interviews (unless otherwise noted) conducted by Mathew Klickstein.Principal interviewees/contributors (in alphabetical order):Al Jean, Anthony Russo, Barry Alfonso, Barry Short, Bill Lund, Bill Mumy (provided by contributor), Bill Schanes, Bjo Trimble, Bob Arendt, Brinke Stevens, Bruce Campbell, Caseen Gaines, Chuck Graham (provided by SDSU), Clayton Moore, Dave Clark, Dave Scroggy, Erin Hanna, Gene Henderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Gus Krueger, Felicia Day, Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, Igor Goldkind (provided by SDSU), Jackie Estrada, Jeanne Graham (provided by SDSU), Jim Cornelius, Jim Means, Jim Valentino, Joe Russo, John Pound, John Trimble, Kevin Eastman, Linda Yeh, Lloyd Kaufman, Kevin Smith (provided by contributor), Len Wein (provided by M.

John Trimble, the founder of Hot Crispy Oil, one of the fastest-growing consumer brands in the Capital Region, joins the podcast to discuss his journey launching a startup brand during COVID and where he's taking Hot Crispy Oil next.    

This week on Episode 477 of Priority One --- We ‘Trek Out’ STAR TREK DAY. More specifically, we dive deep into the Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds panels and discuss what was discussed during their discussions! In Star Trek gaming, Scopely indulges in shrooms and Timeline celebrates Star Trek Day with Giveaways - and takeaways! Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ: How did you celebrate the first OFFICIAL Star Trek Day? AND CQ: If you’re not currently playing Fleet Command, does new Prime Timeline content make you more likely to pick it up? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Star Trek Day Star Trek fans are, sometimes,  a bit entitled - and at Priority One we’d argue rightly so. Star Trek’s original series received a third season - and a ticket to syndication - because of a write-in campaign led by the incomparable superfans Bjo and John Trimble. Star Trek fans helped start the modern-day Mega-Convention when, in 1972, over 3000 Trekkies gathered at the Manhattan Hilton Hotel in New York City to celebrate our beloved franchise. We passed content droughts by writing fan-fiction and creating fan-zines - the precursor to the modern day internet fan-sites. Our unequaled enthusiasm helped spawn an animated series, a movie series, television spin-offs, more movie series, and even helped launch a network - UPN - and a streaming platform - CBS All Access. That’s not even mentioning the countless hours of reading, listening, and viewing content the community has generated - for absolutely free. We’ve even celebrated a couple of unofficial holidays. June 16th has long been recognized as Captain Picard Day - thanks to its appearance in the NextGen episode “The Pegasus”. And September 8th’s air date of Star Trek's first episode, “The Man Trap” - has been our unofficial Star Trek Day This year, the newly reunited ViacomCBS seemed to validate and recognize its fans by acknowledging September 8th, the most holy of Star Trek days - an OFFICIAL Star Trek Day! The day was spent streaming Star Trek - episodes, panels, and discussions - to celebrate the franchise. But it wasn’t PURELY a corporate advertisement. It celebrated the heart of the IP by once again instituting the StarTrekUnitedGives hashtag on its social media platforms. For every #StarTrekUnitedGives ViacomCBS received, the company would donate One US dollar to “Charities that champion equality, social justice, and the pursuit of scientific advancements”. This week we’re going to cover the virtual panels of the newest Star Trek series - Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, and the upcoming Strange New Worlds. But first we want to know “Star Trek: Discovery” Panel Following a streaming schedule that featured episodes from the entire Star Trek catalogue, the team turned its focus to pre-recorded panels and interviews - and the first on the docket was “Star Trek: Discovery”. The panel was introduced by series lead Sonequa Martin-Green - who presented Discovery’s official Season 3 trailer - before handing the reins to host Mica Burton. Burton moderated a panel that featured Star Trek boss Alex Kurtzman, Discovery Show runner Michelle Paradise, and series new-comer David Ajala. A central point of the panel - and frankly the whole day - was hope in a time of despair. Alex Kurtzman discussed the state of the federation nearly 1000 years in Discovery’s future, and how Star Trek’s message today jives with Gene Roddenberry’s message from 1966. The team also discussed WHY the federation wasn’t in the position of power that Discovery had left it in the 23th century. In the trailer, “Book” - played by panel attendee and Star Trek newcomer David Ajala - notes that Starfleet suffered a decline during a period called “the burn”. Kurtzman explained its effect on the current state of the Federation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TASfgIN4ZXA Discovery Introduces Star Trek’s FIRST Non-Binary and Trans Leads! This week, news broke that Star Trek was FINALLY introducing BOTH a Trans AND Non-Binary Character to the main cast of Discovery.  Trek’s first non-Binary character - portrayed by Blu del Barrio - spoke with glaad.org about the role, saying ”When we meet Adira, they're suffering from memory loss. They remember nothing from their past, and very little about themself. They know they're non-binary, of course, but coming onto Discovery they're cautious about sharing that information with anyone. They're a private person, so they aren't going to divulge a lot about themselves to a ship full of strangers. It's not until Adira has found a place of comfort with Stamets and Culber that they feel they can talk about who they are.” Regarding the upcoming Trans character, Deadline reported “Ian Alexander will play the transgender character Gray, empathetic, warm and eager to fulfill his lifelong dream of being a Trill host, but he will have to adapt when his life takes an unexpected turn.” Photo Courtesy of Deadline Both characters were under TIGHT wraps during the panel, but Michelle Paradise was able to give a small bit of information regarding their roles! The panel is CHOCK FULL of great information - like why Discovery has a new Logo. Trek out the hope-filled trailer and hope-ier panel interview by heading to priorityonepodcast.com “Strange New Worlds” Panel We’re going to skip over a few panels this week and cover the “new” stuff coming down the...PIKE... Sorry We’d certainly suggest you trek out EVERYTHING offered on September 8th, but since OUR time is limited, we’re going to skip ahead to the history, and see what the “Strange New Worlds” crew had to say about the upcoming show and Star Trek’s future’s past! Mica Burton once again moderated the panel, this time with series leads Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, and Ethan Peck as well as series EP’s Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers and writers Akela Cooper and Davy Perez. After some really interesting - and fun - anecdotes about how the show came to be, Series EP Henry Alonso Meyer discussed the format of the series.  Davy Perez reinforced the “morals, messages, and meanings” of Star Trek’s storytelling in regards to “Strange New Worlds”. We may want to put that info into the “Mission Log”? Do not skip watching the full panel. Anson Mount recalling his conversation with an apple-eating-Alex-Kurtzman is worth the price of admission. We’ll embed the video on our website, so be sure to head over and trek it out!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY4RvbEGLFE “Star Trek: Picard” and “Star Trek: Lower Decks” Panels Star Trek: Picard’s panel was moderated by Wil Wheaton, starred Sir Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes, and was titled “Picard & The Next Generation Panel”. So if you’re thinking “the news might not be groundbreaking”, you’re probably pretty perceptive. BUT that’s not to say Sir Patrick didn’t deliver. When asked about what’s to come, Stewart unleashed some pure hype. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sSPajpSRiM Where things got interesting was the “Lower Decks” panel. Yes - we’re half-way through the season. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t more story to tell. Prior to releasing the mid-season teaser, showrunner Mike McMahon spilled some Trek-nuggets ripe for the dunking. The “Midseason” trailer shows the aforementioned “legacy actor”, and offers a look at the back nine of Star Trek’s newest animated offering.We’ll, of course, have a link in our show notes, so be sure to trek out both panels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jRSC8_lNCs Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds Star Trek Fleet Command Hits The Space Shrooms Consider the following scenario: you have a successful Star Trek-themed mobile game set entirely in the Kelvin Timeline. You want to add content from Discovery (whose third season starts this October), but your game is Kelvin Timeline-only. And to not be Kelvin Timeline-only, you have to add that content from Discovery. That, captains, is called a Patch-22. Now we know 2020 has been...a bit much. Believe it or not, it’s only been two weeks since ViacomCBS gave Fleet Command developer Scopely free reign of the franchise’s TV and film content, and we weren’t expecting anything to follow so soon. Surprise! Fleet Command Patch 22, which Scopely announced on September 8th, will begin the game’s first Prime Timeline story arc in the era of Discovery. Michael Burnham, Stamets, Saru, and the NCC-1031 itself join Fleet Command’s playable roster, with new random Anomalies and story missions available through a Disco-specific Battle Pass. The patch will also improve the user interface for Battle Report storage and guarantees an Exchange Armada spawn rate in all Exchange systems. Star Trek Timelines Giveaways and Takeaways Fleet Command isn’t the only Trek game getting in on the Star Trek Day festivities. Until September 15th, Star Trek Timelines is bringing back player-favorite temporary achievements for increased grind rewards. However these achievements now have tiers, so the more tasks you complete, the more dilithium and premiums you earn. The Timelines team also put together a special version of their biweekly in-game care package, and took the time to share their thoughts on what working with the Star Trek property means to them. For Timelines Communications Lead Shan, Star Trek represents hope. Hope for a better world, a better future - one we can all have a hand in creating.

This week on Episode 477 of Priority One --- We ‘Trek Out' STAR TREK DAY. More specifically, we dive deep into the Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds panels and discuss what was discussed during their discussions! In Star Trek gaming, Scopely indulges in shrooms and Timeline celebrates Star Trek Day with Giveaways - and takeaways! Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ: How did you celebrate the first OFFICIAL Star Trek Day? AND CQ: If you're not currently playing Fleet Command, does new Prime Timeline content make you more likely to pick it up? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Star Trek Day Star Trek fans are, sometimes,  a bit entitled - and at Priority One we'd argue rightly so. Star Trek's original series received a third season - and a ticket to syndication - because of a write-in campaign led by the incomparable superfans Bjo and John Trimble. Star Trek fans helped start the modern-day Mega-Convention when, in 1972, over 3000 Trekkies gathered at the Manhattan Hilton Hotel in New York City to celebrate our beloved franchise. We passed content droughts by writing fan-fiction and creating fan-zines - the precursor to the modern day internet fan-sites. Our unequaled enthusiasm helped spawn an animated series, a movie series, television spin-offs, more movie series, and even helped launch a network - UPN - and a streaming platform - CBS All Access. That's not even mentioning the countless hours of reading, listening, and viewing content the community has generated - for absolutely free. We've even celebrated a couple of unofficial holidays. June 16th has long been recognized as Captain Picard Day - thanks to its appearance in the NextGen episode “The Pegasus”. And September 8th's air date of Star Trek's first episode, “The Man Trap” - has been our unofficial Star Trek Day This year, the newly reunited ViacomCBS seemed to validate and recognize its fans by acknowledging September 8th, the most holy of Star Trek days - an OFFICIAL Star Trek Day! The day was spent streaming Star Trek - episodes, panels, and discussions - to celebrate the franchise. But it wasn't PURELY a corporate advertisement. It celebrated the heart of the IP by once again instituting the StarTrekUnitedGives hashtag on its social media platforms. For every #StarTrekUnitedGives ViacomCBS received, the company would donate One US dollar to “Charities that champion equality, social justice, and the pursuit of scientific advancements”. This week we're going to cover the virtual panels of the newest Star Trek series - Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, and the upcoming Strange New Worlds. But first we want to know “Star Trek: Discovery” Panel Following a streaming schedule that featured episodes from the entire Star Trek catalogue, the team turned its focus to pre-recorded panels and interviews - and the first on the docket was “Star Trek: Discovery”. The panel was introduced by series lead Sonequa Martin-Green - who presented Discovery's official Season 3 trailer - before handing the reins to host Mica Burton. Burton moderated a panel that featured Star Trek boss Alex Kurtzman, Discovery Show runner Michelle Paradise, and series new-comer David Ajala. A central point of the panel - and frankly the whole day - was hope in a time of despair. Alex Kurtzman discussed the state of the federation nearly 1000 years in Discovery's future, and how Star Trek's message today jives with Gene Roddenberry's message from 1966. The team also discussed WHY the federation wasn't in the position of power that Discovery had left it in the 23th century. In the trailer, “Book” - played by panel attendee and Star Trek newcomer David Ajala - notes that Starfleet suffered a decline during a period called “the burn”. Kurtzman explained its effect on the current state of the Federation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TASfgIN4ZXA Discovery Introduces Star Trek's FIRST Non-Binary and Trans Leads! This week, news broke that Star Trek was FINALLY introducing BOTH a Trans AND Non-Binary Character to the main cast of Discovery.  Trek's first non-Binary character - portrayed by Blu del Barrio - spoke with glaad.org about the role, saying ”When we meet Adira, they're suffering from memory loss. They remember nothing from their past, and very little about themself. They know they're non-binary, of course, but coming onto Discovery they're cautious about sharing that information with anyone. They're a private person, so they aren't going to divulge a lot about themselves to a ship full of strangers. It's not until Adira has found a place of comfort with Stamets and Culber that they feel they can talk about who they are.” Regarding the upcoming Trans character, Deadline reported “Ian Alexander will play the transgender character Gray, empathetic, warm and eager to fulfill his lifelong dream of being a Trill host, but he will have to adapt when his life takes an unexpected turn.” Photo Courtesy of Deadline Both characters were under TIGHT wraps during the panel, but Michelle Paradise was able to give a small bit of information regarding their roles! The panel is CHOCK FULL of great information - like why Discovery has a new Logo. Trek out the hope-filled trailer and hope-ier panel interview by heading to priorityonepodcast.com “Strange New Worlds” Panel We're going to skip over a few panels this week and cover the “new” stuff coming down the...PIKE...

Star Trek has been around long enough to be a legitimate topic of historical study.  While names Like Roddenberry, Shatner, and Nimoy immediately come to mind, the show’s unique position within the cultural zeitgeist would not have been possible without less often cited contributions from names like Fontana, Jefferies and yes,  Trimble. On this weeks’ episode Barry, Dave and Tod, joined by Brian Mix, sit down with Bjo and John Trimble, commonly recognized as “the couple who saved Star Trek.” The Joes get the Trimble’s personal perspective on how they came to know Gene Roddenberry, how they went on to mount arguably the first, and most significant, fan campaign in Sci Fi history. . .as well as helped rename the first NASA shuttle. It’s a rare opportunity to chat with two regular folks who have left a huge footprint in a universe we love. Thanks for listening!

With everything that’s going on and everything that’s not, sometimes it’s nice to just have some time to kick back and hang out with your friends. This was one of those weeks. Joined by Derryl DePriest, and Brian Mix, Barry, Dave and Tod cover a wide range of topics from the genius of the late Carl Reiner, the glacial pace vs. the conceptual brilliance of 2001 a Space Odyssey, and why Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. picked now to finally get so damned good. On the Final Frontier ... er, front, Dave makes the trek to the just reopened Star Trek Set Tour in Ticonderoga New York, which would have been the best Trek related experience anyone has had in months, until Brian laid down the “I just hung out with Bjo and John Trimble” card. He Won.  Note: if you don’t know the name Bjo Trimble, seriously, Google her. Thanks for listening, and hanging out with us!

On this episode of 70s Trek, co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto are celebrating the show's 75th episode.  It’s the perfect time to look back and see what we’ve covered so far and take a look at what’s around the corner. Star Trek's Specialness Throughout 70s Trek, we've discovered a very common theme.  There are many little stories and events that surround the show and its fandom that make it special.  These are things that have not happened to other other TV shows.  Just Trek! Apart from its on-screen presentations, Star Trek has a special past, a certain pedigree that sets it apart from other creations.  It's what makes the franchise unique. It's been the goal of 70s Trek to touch on some of these stories and events from the 1970s that helped shape Star Trek's rise and dramatic popular explosion. Past Moments Bob talk about the moments in the early 70s that brought attention to the show.  When the Neilsen Ratings company moved to demographics to report TV ratings rather than just the mass numbers right after Star Trek was cancelled.  Seeing how well the show performed with key demos made NBC realized it had made an incredible mistake! When the show went into syndication, it quickly became profitable and prompted Filmation's Lou Scheimer to approach Roddenberry and NBC about doing an animated version. In the meantime, fandom is growing rapidly as illustrated by the first Star Trek convention. Organizers expected 500, but 3,000 showed up! All of this, and more, prompted Paramount to invite Roddenberry back to their lot to begin work on a new Star Trek feature.  That began nearly a 27-month process of listening to multiple pitches, trying to fine the right story.   Books Of course fueling fandom's fire were the many books in the early 1970s.  Prized by Trek fans were the episode adaptations written by James Blish.  There was also the first Star Trek reference book, The Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph.  Bjo Trimble followed that book up with the Star Trek Concordance, a fan-produced episode guide that included much more.   Another fan-written reference book was the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual created by a group of friends that were associated with the Federation Trading Post, an early Star Trek store.  Part of that group was Doug Drexler.  An Academy Award winner, Drexler would go on to work on every version of Trek from 1990 forward. Interviews 70s Trek has also tried to present interviews with those that played significant roles with Star Trek in the 1970s  Richard Arnold worked directly for Gene Roddenberry.  We mentioned Doug Drexler above, and Bob Kelly also talked with Bjo and John Trimble. Looking Forward Coming up are episodes about Phase II, some other influences on Star Trek's next version and the production of The Motion Picture.  We hope you will join us.

Once Star Trek reruns began to be seen across the country in syndication, the show attracted a whole new audience of viewers.  It was on everyday at the same time, and it was easy for viewers to catch episodes.   This all helped to contribute to Star Trek's popularity in the 1970s.  Clubs sprang up, conventions were held and fanzines were printed.  In this unique environment, Bjo and a friend came up with the idea of the book, The Star Trek Concordance. Bjo and John tell us the story of the Concordance, as well as the letter writing campaign that resulted in the name of NASA's first space shuttle being named Enterprise. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto talk with Bjo and John in part 2 of their interview with these Star Trek legends.  Without them, the show might not have achieved a third season, and possibly would not have gone into syndication.  And without reruns being seen across the country, Star Trek would have died after cancellation and been forgotten.

Bjo and John Trimble tell a story about being on the Star Trek set in early 1968 and learning, unofficially, that the show was to be cancelled.  During their drive home, John innocently commented, "There ought to be something we could do about that." Upon hearing those words,  Bjo's mind began to come up with ideas and and by the time they arrived home, the two had the basics of a plan to save Star Trek. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto talk with Bjo and John on this episode of 70s Trek. The plan they came up with was a letter writing campaign that, according to some counts, flooded NBC with one million letters!  Of course, the network relented and Star Trek got its third season. If that was all that Bjo and John accomplished, their names would be forever tied with the franchise as the couple who saved the show.  Their efforts guaranteed that that Star Trek had enough episodes to go into syndication after its original run.  Syndication, of course, was a major factor that contributed to the show's return. But Bjo's and John's association with Trek didn't end there.  Listen to our interview to hear more about their contributions.        

It was the moment in the 1970s that Star Trek became a cultural phenomenon.  NASA’s first space shuttle was originally called Constitution. But President Gerald Ford renamed it Enterprise in 1976 to honor the show, its fans and its impact on our society. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto describe the development of the shuttle and how it came to be named Enterprise. The idea of a reusable spacecraft was first described by NAZI scientists during World War II.  One of them, Werner von Braun, would work for NASA after the war and described the very process by which man would go to space.  It involved a reusable vehicle. After reaching the moon in 1969, President Nixon ordered NASA to begin working on the shuttle program and to make sure its focus was tightly defined: Orbital experiments and the eventual construction of a space station. Construction on the first vehicle began in 1974, and as news of its completion reached the public, two Star Trek fans had the idea to get it named Enterprise.  They contacted Bjo and John Trimble who had started the 1968 letter writing campaign that got Star Trek a third season.  With their know-how, a new campaign was put into action. NASA and the White House received between 400,000 and 500,000 letters asking for the first shuttle to be named Enterprise and President Gerald Ford agreed. But that's not the full story.  Listen to this week's episode to hear all the details.
