Podcasts about strange new worlds

This week, the AI industry continues its speedrun toward becoming the tech equivalent of a late-stage casino. Elon Musk insists reports of aid-cut-related deaths don't exist despite mountains of evidence, SpaceX stock slides far enough to knock him out of the trillionaire club, and a startup is literally suing the U.S. government because Anthropic's Fable 5 model got turned off after three whole days of availability. Once again, we revisit the First Commandment of Grumpy Old Geeks: never build your company on someone else's platform.Meanwhile, gas stations are being accused of using AI to coordinate prices, corporations are discovering that AI tokens cost actual money, and a Microsoft researcher used goats in Age of Empires II to demonstrate that maybe, just maybe, people are projecting way too much intelligence onto chatbots. The goats emerge with their reputations intact. The AI industry, less so.The workforce bloodbath rolls on as Oracle quietly sheds 21,000 employees while blaming AI, Norway bans generative AI for elementary school students after discovering that children should probably learn to read before outsourcing their homework to robots, and the FCC flirts with rules that could effectively kill anonymous burner phones in the name of fighting scams. Over at Meta, an employee surveillance program accidentally exposed sensitive data to the entire company because of course it did, while Zuckerberg continues his relentless quest to strap cameras to everyone's face and call it progress. Add in YouTube settling another social-media-harm case, Chrome finally kneecapping traditional ad blockers, and prediction markets spreading across tech like mold in a college apartment, and it's becoming increasingly clear that every bad idea eventually gets funded.In transportation news, autonomous vehicles continue demonstrating that "mostly works" is not a reassuring phrase when attached to two tons of moving metal. A Tesla on Autopilot crashes into a home and kills a grandmother, Rivian faces lawsuits over self-driving promises its hardware allegedly can't fulfill, and Waymo recalls thousands of robotaxis after they developed an unfortunate habit of driving into closed freeway construction zones. Elsewhere, Elon and Bezos are eyeing billions in broadband subsidies, Polymarket is accused of paying influencers to fake betting videos and climate data archivists are preserving public information from political interference.Media recommendations include The Mandalorian, Silo, Strange New Worlds, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and a reminder that Firefox may soon be the last refuge for people who enjoy both the internet and ad blockers. Some weeks the future feels exciting. This week it mostly feels like an extended warranty scam.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Happy 60th anniversary!

Revisionist history and the dangers of it take center stage in this week's review of  “Living Witness,” an exceptional Star Trek: Voyager episode which finds the Doctor's backup hologram awakening in a distant future where Voyager is a warship responsible for some truly dastardly things.“Living Witness” is the closest fans got to a Mirror Universe-y take on Voyager, with Janeway rocking some evil gloves and the Doctor melting some poor alien's optic nerves. So come for the deep dive into this episode's origins, and stay for our reaction to that killer twist ending!We also breakdown Strange New World's new dragon-and-dinosaur-filled trailer before beaming down to the Replimat for some Spielberg, followed by another Red Shirt eulogy.So watch out for a creepy-eyed evil Doctor and listen now!

Join Keith, Marshal, and special guest Rish Outfield, as they trek with Captain Pike, Spock, Una Chin-Riley, La'an Noonien-Singh, and the rest of the crew of the starship Enterprise NC-1701 as they explore space seven years before Captain Kirk. In this episode, we face the devastating side of the Prime Directive in "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach," face the Gorn up close in "All Those Who Wander," and get transported to an alternate future to encounter the Romulans in "A Quality of Mercy."To download, right-click here and then click SaveIn the Patreon-exclusive extended episode, we spend an extra twenty minutes talking about the following two episodes: "The Serene Squall" and "The Elysian Kingdom."

In this episode, we discuss That Hideous Strength, the final installment of C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy. Lewis's prophetic novel explores the corruption of power, the nature of true humanity, the beauty of marriage, and the dangers of severing science from moral truth. Along the way, we consider why this decades-old story feels surprisingly relevant in an age of artificial intelligence, technological advancement, and competing visions of what it means to flourish as human beings.Resources:The Space Trilogy by C.S.

Neue Staffeln sind schon abgedreht und aktuell befindet sich erstmals seit einem Jahrzehnt kein Star Trek-Projekt mehr in Produktion. Wir geben euch im Podcast einen Überblick über die Gründe für die ungewisse Zukunft von Star Trek und diskutieren, wie es weitergehen könnte.

Tweet to Alex at @WeeklyTrek, or email us with your thoughts about wishes, theories, or anything else about the latest in Star Trek news!

THIS VOYAGE, the Treksperts are joined by STRANGE NEW WORLDS stars ETHAN PECK, CHRISTINA CHONG and JESS BUSH to talk about their five and a half year mission to seek out new life and new civilizations in a fast-wheeling and fun conversation. Hosts: MARK A. ALTMAN (showrunner, Pandora; author, The Fifty-Year Mission) | DAREN DOCHTERMAN (Associate Producer, Star Trek: The Motion Picture — Director's Edition) | ASHLEY E. MILLER (screenwriter, Thor, X-Men: First Class; showrunner, DOTA: Dragon's Blood)

TrekCore is excited to announce the launch of a second podcast to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Star Trek – Warp Factor 5: A Star Trek Rewatch Podcast. Launching alongside our longrunning WeeklyTrek news podcast, every two weeks on Thursdays host Alex Perry will be joined by a guest to discuss and rate the next five episodes of Star Trek in in-universe chronological order beginning with Star Trek: Enterprise and traveling forward from there. In each episode, Alex and his guest will discuss and rate five episodes of Star Trek, and then pick from across those five episodes the Best Series Regular Performance, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment. They'll also discuss how these five episodes contribute to the larger Star Trek narrative across more than 900 episodes, and share memories of the first time they watched the episodes – was it live on UPN? BBC 2? WPIX Channel 11? Sky One? CIC VHS tapes? DVD? Netflix? Paramount+? There are two things that make Warp Factor 5 distinct from most Star Trek rewatch podcasts: discussing five episodes at a time, and moving through the franchise in in-universe chronological order. Examining five episodes at a time gives space to compare episodes in blocks, examining in greater detail differences in character and themes. And beginning with Enterprise and moving in in-universe chronological order gives a new way to enjoy the Star Trek story, as an inter-connected narrative spanning 60 years of real history and over one thousand years of narrative history.  The show will begin with Enterprise, followed by Discovery's first two seasons, Strange New Worlds, Star Trek, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Picard, Discovery's last three seasons, and Starfleet Academy. Where will the Kelvin Timeline movies fall? What about the Short Treks? The TNG movies? How will you handle the period during the 1990s when two Star Trek shows were on at once? You'll just have to listen to find out! This is a rewatch podcast, and we'll be discussing full spoilers for past and future Star Trek as we make our way through the shows. But you don't have to be a Star Trek expert to enjoy Warp Factor 5. Each episode discussion will include a synopsis of the episode we're talking about to jog your memory, with plenty of audio clips from the episodes so you can hear for yourself the moments that are being discussed. If you've always had the desire (like Alex has!) to rate every episode of Star Trek and figure out which episodes are your favorites (or least favorite!), we hope you'll join us at home, watch the episodes with us, and submit your ratings. Also make sure to let us know your picks for Best Series Regular, Best Guest Performance, Best Production Design Element, Best Quiet Moment, and Best Loud Moment! Alex will be gathering all the ratings and feedback received and at the end of each season will have a special episode discussing feedback and the final definitive ranking of that season's episodes.  Warp Factor Five is available now on all your podcast platforms so make sure to subscribe to ensure that you don't miss an episode. The first episode of the show, covering the Star Trek: Enterprise season one episodes "Broken Bow," "Fight or Flight," "Strange New World," "Unexpected," and "Terra Nova," will debut on Thursday, June 18. Join us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and more!

This week on Geekstorians, we're boldly going into one of the strangest survival stories in geek culture: Star Trek, the franchise that has been cancelled, revived, mismanaged, overextended, rebooted, and pushed through nearly every major shift in modern entertainment.Born in 1966, cancelled in 1969, and kept alive by fans who refused to accept that decision, Star Trek became something far bigger than a struggling network sci-fi show. It became a constituency. A culture. A future people wanted to believe in.Dave traces the franchise from NBC's infamous letter-writing campaign and the death-slot third season, through Lucille Ball's unexpected role in getting the original series made, the rise of conventions and syndication, the expensive chaos of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and the leaner, sharper rescue mission of The Wrath of Khan.Then it's into The Next Generation, first-run syndication, Roddenberry's complicated legacy, the rocky early years, the franchise boom of Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise, the Kelvin timeline films, and the streaming era of Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy and Strange New Worlds.Because Star Trek doesn't survive because it is well run.It survives because the idea underneath it is too good to kill.Geekstorians is the Webby-nominated documentary-style podcast from Geektown, exploring the strange, messy, brilliant history of geek culture.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

Anika and Liz don their finest 2017/2257 outfits and go to a party.  Then they do it all over again. Then they do it all over again.  Yes, we are caught a time loop and discussing Star Trek: Discovery's "Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad"!  "This, to me, is like if Strange New Worlds was good." Is this Anika's least favourite episode of Discovery? Ash is happier and more successful as a human being than he was as a Klingon Making Harry Mudd spend time with his wife is not a good or suitable punishment for his crimes? It is highkey misogynistic? Do better, show!  Liz is here to pitch Star Trek: Stella, where Meg Stalter plays Stella Mudd as she roams the galaxy being a sociopathic nepo baby with an amazing wardrobe, who disintegrates people

FedCon 34, Tag 3: Wir blicken zurück auf Zoë Steiners, George Hawkins' und Karim Dianés Panel vom Samstag – und auf die großen Gruppenpanels von Strange New Worlds und Starfleet Academy am Sonntag. Außerdem sprechen wir über unsere eigene Talkshow „Warum wir Star Trek brauchen!“: ein Live-Podcast über Haltung, Hoffnung, Zukunft, Werte und die Frage, warum dieses Franchise nach fast 60 Jahren immer noch mehr kann als hübsche Raumschiffe mit dramatischer Beleuchtung. Natürlich geht es auch um den tragischen Ausfall von Kerrice Brooks, deren FedCon-Auftritt leider am galaktisch banalsten aller Gegner scheiterte: verlorenem Gepäck. Star Trek erzählt von Subraumkommunikation, Transportern und Warpantrieb – und trotzdem gewinnt am Ende manchmal der Flughafen. Faszinierend. Aber nicht gut. Ein Rückblick auf den letzten FedCon-Tag: emotional, chaotisch, liebevoll und mit sehr viel Sternenflottenherz. #FedCon34 #FedCon2026 #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #StarfleetAcademy #ZoeSteiner #GeorgeHawkins #KarimDiane #KerriceBrooks #DiscoveryPanel #WarumWirStarTrekBrauchen #StarTrekPodcast

FedCon 34, Tag 2: Wir blicken zurück auf Panels mit Babs Olusanmokun, Bella Shepard und Paul Wesley – und natürlich auf unsere eigene Star-Trek-Quizshow. Ja, richtig gelesen: Wir waren nicht nur im Publikum, wir standen auch selbst auf der Bühne. Es gab Fragen, Punkte, Spannung, Publikum, akute Sternenflottengefühle und vermutlich mindestens einen Moment, in dem irgendwo eine Regelkommission innerlich geweint hat. Also eigentlich: perfekte Bedingungen. Bei Zoë Steiner und Karim Diané waren wir auch – darüber sprechen wir aber erst morgen. Heute geht es um Tag 2, um Panels, Con-Vibe, Strange-New-Worlds-Energie, Starfleet-Academy-Vorfreude und die Frage, wie man nach so einem Tag eigentlich noch schlafen soll, ohne dass im Kopf weiter ein Buzzer läuft. #FedCon34 #FedCon2026 #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #StarfleetAcademy #BabsOlusanmokun #BellaShepard #PaulWesley #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekQuiz #StarTrekPodcast

[Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider interview starts at  28:24  / George Takei interview starts at  1:18:49] Anthony and Laurie start with a quick news round-up, focusing mostly on the games, merch, and events being planned around Star Trek’s 60th anniversary this year. They briefly discuss the latest auction in Toronto featuring items from the Strange New Worlds set and the new (in-progress) Doug Jones documentary, then get into this week’s main interview: a chat with the directors of the documentary Beam Me Up, Sulu, Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider to learn how they discovered Stan Woo’s fan film, how they made their way to George Takei to secure his involvement, and why Star Trek was progressive from its very beginnings. They wrap up by playing Tony’s interview with George, done when the documentary film was released.

FedCon 34, Tag 1: Wir sind angekommen, leicht reizüberflutet, sehr glücklich und irgendwo zwischen Opening Ceremony, Panel-Marathon und Föderationsgefühlen verloren gegangen. In dieser Folge blicken wir auf den ersten Tag der FedCon 34 im Maritim Hotel Bonn zurück: Panels mit Tim Russ, Jess Bush, Sandro Rosta, Ethan Peck und Martin Quinn, die Opening Ceremony und die Talkshow „60 Jahre Star Trek“. Kurz gesagt: sehr viel Star Trek, sehr viel Herz, sehr viel „Ich wollte nur kurz gucken und jetzt ist mein Tag komplett eskaliert“. Wir sprechen über den besonderen FedCon-Vibe, über Strange-New-Worlds-Momente, Starfleet-Academy-Neugier, Tuvok-Würde, Scotty-Charme und darüber, warum Star Trek nach 60 Jahren immer noch nicht einfach ein Franchise ist, sondern ein ziemlich wirksames Gegenmittel gegen Weltuntergangsstimmung mit schlechter Beleuchtung. #FedCon34 #FedCon2026 #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #StarfleetAcademy #TimRuss #JessBush #EthanPeck #MartinQuinn #SandroRosta #DiscoveryPanel #StarTrekPodcast

EPISODE 713 - Scott Pearson - Simon & Schuster's Star Trek Novel Editor and Author Taking Us To New Places and BeyondThis episode features author and editor Scott Pearson sharing his woodland life in Carlton, Minnesota, and his multifaceted career in science fiction, Star Trek, and publishing. From fan to professional, he reveals how persistence and adaptability built his path through a rapidly changing industry.Scott describes his detached office amid the trees, a quiet hub for editing and writing. Publishing has evolved dramatically since his early days mailing manuscripts; self-publishing, once taboo, is now viable. His key advice: keep writing, finish stories, and explore contests or networks to break in. A lifelong Star Trek fan since grade school, he started with derivative sci-fi, shifted to literary fiction in college—his first published story about a Minnesota farming couple—then returned to genre via the Strange New Worlds contest win. This led to Star Trek short stories, a novella, and an ebook, plus anthology work blending sci-fi, mystery, horror, and thriller. His latest, the self-published The Sad Rains of Mars, collects a dozen sci-fi tales.As Star Trek's copy and developmental editor, Scott ensures fiction aligns with canon, verifying quotes by rewatching clips. He balances fandom with professionalism, enjoying stories while catching continuity gaps for "retcons." Fan fiction hones skills but stays non-commercial; licensed work requires agent connections and multi-layer approvals from publishers and Paramount. Conventions like Shore Leave connect writers and editors.Freelance editing—Star Trek novels, Baen Books, IDW comics, self-publishers—fills his days, often crowding personal writing despite a Monday-Thursday schedule. He spotlights Tales of the Weird World War, co-written novellas with Bill Leisner mashing genres in an alternate history of shapeshifting monsters, from 1940s noir to 1950s saucers.Key takeaway: Persistence through industry shifts, from fan roots to pro editing and original work, turns passion into a sustainable creative life—finish stories, honor canon, and balance paid gigs with personal projects.https://scott-pearson.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

In this episode, Eric Green sits down with Joe Woodard to break down the “strange new world” reshaping tax and accounting. They dive into how AI is transforming everything—from automating prep work to enabling firms to scale faster, leaner, and more profitably than ever before. What used to take months (and six figures) can now be built in hours, changing the game for practitioners. But this isn't about replacing professionals—it's about redefining them. Eric and Joe explain why the future belongs to those who shift from compliance work to advisory and representation, and how AI can solve the industry's staffing crisis while creating massive opportunity. If you want to understand where the profession is heading—and how to stay ahead of it—this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.
