Podcasts about strange new worlds

[Review starts at  08:07] It’s our 250th episode! Anthony and Laurie cover the news: Jess Bush talked about Strange New Worlds at a convention, where she hinted that the Spock/Chapel relationship might not be as over as we think, and Robbie McNeill and Tim Russ are providing voices for the upcoming Voyager Across The Unknown game. Then they jump into their review of Starfleet Academy episode 6, “Come, Let’s Away,” appreciating the high stakes, the taut pacing, the character moments, and the intense performances of Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. Both hosts really liked the episode, but also had a handful of nitpicks to throw in, although the episode was still a hit. They wrap up with connections between Star Trek and Commodore 64 & Amiga, a Bluesky account about Worf’s emails, and a small Trek Talks update.

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Bill Mann to discuss all the latest Star Trek news. This week, Alex and his guest discuss the following stories from around the web: TrekMovie: Interview: Tawny Newsome On "Gargantuan Task" To Give DS9 "Resolution" On 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' (10:42) ScreenRant: 27 Years Later, Cirroc Lofton Thought His Star Trek Comeback Would "Never Happen" (28:10) TrekMovie: Interview: Oded Fehr On Vance Being "Tough" (But Not A Star Trek "Badmiral") On 'Starfleet Academy' (35:13) TrekCore: Nacelle Toys Announces STAR TREK Original Series Bridge Playset, Plus: Corrected Wave 1 Figures On the Way (42:22) In addition, stick around to hear Bill theorize about when the next three seasons of Star Trek that have been filmed – Strange New Worlds seasons four and five and Starfleet Academy season two – will air, and Alex comment on the current state of the discourse around Starfleet Academy.  *** Do you have a wish or theory you'd like to share on the show?

The DEBRIEF BRIDGE CREW — Chris Clow, Rachael Clow and Cicero Holmes — are joined once more by JAVI TRUJILLO (Batman-On-Film, The Comic Binge, The 007 Files) to break down the third and fourth episodes of STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY: "Vitus Reflux" and "Vox in Excelso." One is something of an accessible bottle episode with little connection to prior canon to get us up-to-speed with the characters and their environment, the other is deeply rooted to STAR TREK's history and one of its most iconic peoples. And at least one member of our crew had a very emotional time getting through it! Listen for all the canonical deep dives and perspectives you can only get from the best Star Trek podcast your friends AREN'T listening to. Plus, news returns! Check out TrekMovie's report on the latest from STAR TREK: VOYAGER — ACROSS THE UNKNOWN, and listen as we break down new Saturn Award nominations for STRANGE NEW WORLDS and a truly bizarre STAR TREK crossover with...THE MASKED SINGER? Oh, boy... Do you want to chat with us? Join the Bridge Crew on Bluesky!

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2026/01/binary-system-podcast-491-strange-new-worlds-lower-decks-crossover/It's a good thing Kathryn watched the Star Trek Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover this week, mostly because now we can talk about how awesome it is that the actors who voiced the animated characters got to play the live-action versions in an episode that was equal parts heartwarming and freaking hilarious.But it's also good because it's literally the only new thing either of us watched all week. Sure, we could be catching up on all the Oscar noms but nooooo, we're rewatching Hannibal (third time through) and Midsommar (fourth time through...maybe fifth?) and the Pear Cider and Cigarettes commentary (oh we've lost count), because we need serious comfort watching on account of ice storms and I don't know THE WORLD?This week's outro is a clip from Circles by Roy Colwin.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

Welcome back to Word Balloon! Today, we're diving deep into the Star Trek universe with one of its most accomplished storytellers — David Mack. You know his work from the Deep Space Nine episodes “Starship Down” and “It's Only a Paper Moon”, two fan-favorite installments that captured the show's emotional depth and moral complexity.Since then, Mack's become one of Star Trek's defining novelists — the author behind landmark books like Destiny, Vanguard, and Control, and now, the brand-new Strange New Worlds novel, Ring Of Fire. We'll talk about how David approaches writing for different eras of Trek, what it's like balancing the optimism of Strange New Worlds with the grittier tone of his earlier work, and how he helped expand Star Trek's literary canon into something as rich and compelling as the shows themselves.Plus, we'll get into his latest creative venture — co-writing the Star Trek: Khan audio drama, exploring the rise and legacy of one of the franchise's most fascinating villains. It's a fascinating look at a writer who's helped shape Star Trek across television, novels, and now audio storytelling. So grab your communicator, set your phasers to “listen,” and join me as we boldly go into the creative mind of David Mack — right here on Word Balloon!

Anthony and Laurie are joined by TrekMovie's Joe Andosca, The Salon‘s Trevor Hook, and Dr. Ann Marie Segal of Creation and The 7th Rule, to look back at Star Trek in 2025 and ahead to an uncertain future in 2026. They talk about their favorite episodes, books, games, and events from last year, as well as the top Trek news stories and some of the missteps. Then they turn their attention to 2026 at what’s certain—Starfleet Academy, more Strange New Worlds—and what’s a little murkier: the future of Trek on TV, the recently announced movie, the state of Skydance/Paramount, 60th anniversary plans, and more.

Adrian Holmes joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about Bel-Air, the weight of stepping into Uncle Phil's shoes, and what it means for the series as it heads toward the end.Holmes breaks down how he approached Philip Banks as a real, layered man, balancing authority with vulnerability while still honoring the character fans grew up with. He also opens up about why this version of Bel-Air hit people so hard, especially as it tackled family, identity, and belonging in a modern Los Angeles lens.The conversation digs into legacy, including what Phil wants for Will and Carlton and why “letting them fly” matters as the story reaches its final stretch. Holmes also talks about the creative swing the show took, the writers' being in tune with the culture, and how the series found its own voice rather than chasing nostalgia.We also bounce into a fun detour on Holmes' other work, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, plus a quick dream chat about what kind of role he'd want if he ever jumped into something like a Hot Wheels movie.Bel-Air stars Jabari Banks, Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, Coco Jones, Olly Sholotan, Akira Akbar, and Jimmy Akingbola.Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis

It’s pitch week! Anthony and Laurie are joined by Trev and Stanley from The Salon to talk about all the Star Trek TV pitches out there—but they start with an in-depth look at the brand-new clip from the first episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. They talk about Paul Giamatti’s insights into his SFA character, Nus Braka, and Robert Picardo’s confirmation on which version of The Doctor is in the show. They discuss the sentimental posts from Strange New Worlds actors as production heads towards its end, and the imminent departure of Prodigy and other Trek shows from Netflix across the globe. Then it’s time for the main topic: all the TV pitches out there for new Trek series from creatives who’ve already worked in the franchise. They break down each one—ideas from Tawny Newsome & Justin Simien, Terry Matalas, Mike Sussman, Akiva Goldsman & Henry Alonso Myers, Aaron Waltke, and Jennifer Muro—and assess its viability as a group. After that, each person makes their own pitch for a Star Trek show that is assessed by the others: Greenlight? Development deal? Hard pass? Listen to find out.

Trip Tucker gets… pregnant?! We break down Star Trek: Enterprise S1E5 “Unexpected”—from Xyrillian “holodeck” tech and cultural consent questions to Klingon chaos and the show's early-era exploration vibes. We also swap con stories (hi, LeVar!), talk why this ep is actually funny AND dark, and preview next week's “Terra Nova” (directed by LeVar Burton).

Rewatching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 7 — “The Andorian Incident.” Directed by Roxann Dawson, this tense bottle episode introduces Shran (the great Jeffrey Combs) and repositions the Andorians as more than blue-skinned bruisers. We dig into the Vulcan monastery of P'Jem, the hidden sensor array twist, T'Pol's loyalty test, Archer getting absolutely walloped, and why this hour is often cited as the moment Enterprise “found its voice.”We also riff on transporter anxiety, Andorian antennae, “pink-skins,” and how this early Human-Vulcan-Andorian friction foreshadows the United Federation of Planets.

A LOATHING HOMAGE. Bryan & Kristen activate the arch and step inside Strange New Worlds stab at a holodeck mishap episode. La'an assumes the role of her favorite detective character from childhood who is asked to investigate the murder of a famous executive behind a fictional science fiction show from the 1960s. Does this concept within a concept within a concept lead to the loving homage everybody's claiming it is? The grades begin at (35:46).

Welcome back to Word Balloon! Today, we're diving deep into the Star Trek universe with one of its most accomplished storytellers — David Mack. You know his work from the Deep Space Nine episodes “Starship Down” and “It's Only a Paper Moon”, two fan-favorite installments that captured the show's emotional depth and moral complexity.Since then, Mack's become one of Star Trek's defining novelists — the author behind landmark books like Destiny, Vanguard, and Control, and now, the brand-new Strange New Worlds novel, Ring Of Fire. We'll talk about how David approaches writing for different eras of Trek, what it's like balancing the optimism of Strange New Worlds with the grittier tone of his earlier work, and how he helped expand Star Trek's literary canon into something as rich and compelling as the shows themselves.Plus, we'll get into his latest creative venture — co-writing the Star Trek: Khan audio drama, exploring the rise and legacy of one of the franchise's most fascinating villains. It's a fascinating look at a writer who's helped shape Star Trek across television, novels, and now audio storytelling. So grab your communicator, set your phasers to “listen,” and join me as we boldly go into the creative mind of David Mack — right here on Word Balloon!
