Roddenberry Entertainment has partnered with Nerdist Industries to launch a new free Star Trek<\/em> podcast series.<\/p>\n The new series is Mission Log,<\/em> which is “an entertaining and provocative examination of the legendary franchise\u2019s more than seven hundred hours of television programming.”<\/p>\n Mission Log<\/em> will begin with The Cage<\/em>, and then “progressing sequentially through the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise<\/em>, Mission Log<\/em> delves into the most historical and interesting aspects of science fiction that Star Trek<\/em> has to offer. The podcast is the first time Roddenberry will lead the dialogue surrounding the plot points, principles and philosophies of Star Trek<\/em> and how they relate to the human experience.”<\/p>\n “I’ve always wanted the opportunity to examine the philosophy of Star Trek<\/em> from a Roddenberry perspective and get to the core of what has been inspiring fans for decades,\u201d said Executive Producer Rod Roddenberry<\/strong>. “I can think of no better homage to the franchise than to take on thirty seasons of television, comprised of six different series, by journeying into every one of the seven-hundred-and-twenty-six Star Trek<\/em> episodes.”<\/p>\n “Hosted by veteran podcasters John Champion<\/strong> (DVD Geeks) and Ken Ray<\/strong> (Mac OS Ken), Mission Log<\/em> will offer a balanced yet critical analysis of the underlying themes, metaphors and subtexts intertwined in each Star Trek<\/em> episode. Along with a variety of guests and interviews, the podcast will attempt to explore Star Trek<\/em>‘s ethical subtext, understand its complex metaphors and finally figure out what was the trouble with those Tribbles. Unique to Mission Log<\/em>, producers and hosts have the opportunity to research the exclusive Roddenberry family archives to consult historic resources, such as Gene’s handwritten notes on his original scripts.”<\/p>\n Mission Log<\/em> will be a weekly production, with free downloads available each Thursday.
