Una McCormack's The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway. During the seven seasons of Star Trek: Voyager, we got to know Kathryn Janeway very well. We knew who she was like, a little bit about her history before Voyager and how she was a strong and capable starship commander. But in all that time, have we heard about her background before Voyager, in her own words? In this episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, which marks the fifth part of the podcast's celebration of Star Trek: Voyager's thirtieth anniversary, Wes reviews Una McCormack's 2020 novel The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway, which was published during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and was published to celebrate the silver anniversary of the television series. To bring the episode an extra flair, Wes interviews Una herself! She talks about the novel and her Star Trek literary journey.

Across the UK there are thousands of faith buildings playing important roles in their communities. Churches, mosques, gurdwaras, all host gatherings for worship and for community activities such as playgroups, choirs, support groups and many more. Recently, many have been serving as warm banks, providing a space for people struggling to heat their homes in the energy crisis. How can these buildings, often huge and sometimes hundreds of years old, afford to provide these critical spaces in times of energy price hikes and still meet net-zero goals? Inspired by talking to an interfaith group in Birmingham, an innovative infra-red heating company in Bristol and an NYT bestselling science-fiction author, Emma Newman imagines a future in which community groups redesign the function of former shopping malls to create third spaces that repair the fabric of society.Websites to link to, mentioned in the episodeInterviewees:Footsteps: https://footstepsbcf.org.uk/Herschel Infrared: https://www.herschel-infrared.co.uk/heating-heritage-buildings/churches/Una McCormack: https://unamccormack.co.uk/My own website: www.enewman.co.uk https://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/design/faith-buildings-and-local-communities/ - Interesting post about working with Bow Church to expand community activitieshttp://www.empoweringdesign.net/ - all about the research project looking at community engagement in the use of faith buildings https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/enabling-community-based-leadership-in-design-sustainable-development-of-historic-faith-buildings/1  - An Open University course designed to help people to consult with communities on the use of faith buildings A video about the Halo heater, in which the diagram about bubbles of heat mentioned in the episode can be seen: https://youtu.be/eqnZF2uYMz4Support the show

Dystopias are a longstanding staple of film and literature, particularly science fiction, but what can we learn from them? Do they simply entrench despair or act as a prompt to improve the world? And what do The Two Ronnies have to do with all this?

Captain Bubbles (A.K.A. Shannon) is finally reunited with her collective and all but forgets about her fascination with Laris while the crew of Starfleet Section 35 Chief Commander Klinger (Jake) and Guest Star Mr. Mot (A.K.A. SP or StarPi from Voices Of Defiance and Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) discuss and review the Picard season 3 ninth and penultimate episode "Vox." The crew discuss the episode's writing, big Borg reveal, the counseling Jack Crusher will need, the carpet onboard the Enterprise, Shaw's sacrifice, and the painfully slow moving Starfleet attack on Spacedock. The trio have a lot of fun along the way and look forward to their opportunities to see the finale on IMAX (if it's available to them). Join the crew and let them know what you think.

In a meeting with Commander-in-Chief Victor Bordson and Captain Kirsten Clancy (Ann Magnuson), Picard accepted a long-overdue promotion to Admiral in order to lead the Romulan rescue mission. But this meant Picard had to immediately relinquish command of his beloved Enterprise so, naturally, he suggested Worf, his current First Officer to become the new Captain. But Clancy balked at Worf getting the big chair and for good reason: the Klingon has a permanent black mark on his record. In the DS9 season 6 episode "Change of Heart", Worf allowed a Starfleet Intelligence operative to during a secret mission, choosing, instead, to rescue his injured wife Dax on the planet Soukara. Afterward, Captain Sisko told Worf that "[Starfleet will] probably never give you a command of your own after this." Captain Clancy was correct to raise this disciplinary issue with Worf taking command of the Enterprise, which is the flagship of the United Federation of Planets. Picard argued for his First Officer's spotless record since that incident, which occurred almost a decade before this meeting. As to the question of Worf's judgment, Picard noted that the memory of that mistake makes Worf even more careful about his decision-making. Picard was also offended at the idea that he would select Worf to be his First Officer if he didn't think the Klingon was capable of being a worthy Captain someday. Picard won the argument when he pointed out that a century prior, during the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the Klingons came to the Federation for help and they eventually became such staunch allies that a Klingon rose to the position of commanding the Federation flagship. Jean-Luc's point was that the Romulans could see the symbolism, which would help them understand what was possible in a long-term peace with the Federation. Clancy finally relented and she admitted that "The optics were good". With that, Admiral Picard officially relinquished command of the Enterprise to the newly-promoted Captain Worf. via: https://screenrant.com/star-trek-picard-worf-enterprise-captain-starfleet-how/  Star Trek: Why Didn't Tasha Yar Return for Picard? https://movieweb.com/why-didnt-tasha-yar-return-for-picard/

Merry Christmas Everyone! This year's Backlisted Christmas special celebrates Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild, a classic of children's literature and the childhood favourite of our producer, Nicky Birch. We are joined by the writer Una McCormack and Tanya Kirk, the Lead Curator of Printed Heritage Collections (1601-1900) at the British Library, who are both lifetime Streatfeild fans. Ballet Shoes was an immediate bestseller upon publication and the runner-up for the inaugural Carnegie Medal. It has never been out of print and was the first in a series of ‘Shoes' books by Streatfeild. It has been adapted many times both as an audiobook and for film and television and in 2019 BBC News included Ballet Shoes on its list of the 100 most influential novels of all time. We discuss why this might be the case and much more besides and even hear from Miss Streatfeild herself. And it being a Christmas episode, there is a fiendish festive quiz. We also feature two other classic books by writers best known through their writing for children. John discusses A Giant in the Snow by John Gordon, an eerie Puffin classic from 1968, while Andy revels in the darkness of John Christopher's The Death of Grass, first published in 1956, a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel, definitely written for adults and perfect for cutting through your post-lunch torpor.

Romulans and Star Trek (2009). Star Trek (2009) featured a prominent role for a revenge-seeking 24th-century Romulan captain named Nero and his unusual ship, the Nerada. Nero's time travel to the 23rd century created an alternate timeline and left fans wondering what led to the Romulan supernova of 2387—and what happened after. Finally, the first season of Star Trek: Picard, along with the Picard: Countdown comics and Una McCormack's novel The Last Best Hope, have provided some answers. In this episode of The Line, hosts Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi, Brandon-Shea Mutala, and Justin Oser discuss Star Trek (2009) and its connections to Star Trek: Picard. We cover the Romulan supernova, the Nerada, and the parallels between survivors who have lost their homeworlds. We also share news about our own future.

Midseason Supplemental. The first season of Star Trek: Picard has passed the halfway mark, and each episode has led to a lot of discussion. The fifth, “Stardust City Rag,” was particularly controversial, and we wanted to take this opportunity to dive deeper into some of the debates it has generated. In this supplemental episode of The Line, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala, Justin Oser, and Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi debate whether Seven of Nine's actions were justified, ask if the Una McCormack's tie-in novel The Last Best Hope is essential for watching Star Trek: Picard, and explore the differences in the portrayal of sex and violence.
