After movie news, try out a podcast or three. With me.

On top of this being an insanely busy month in Trekland old and new ... and the frenzy over a character name and a trailer ...

Well, when things calm down over John Harrison, perhaps you'll have time to try out a few podcasters ... who were good enough to have me on this past week.

We talked about everything from the opening salvos of Into Darkness mindgame hyper-promotion to fan generations with Doug Mirabello and Jose Munoz, Trek TV vets now on The Zero Room... where they forced me to explain all over again about The Con of Wrath. With some all-new points by the boys I hadn't even thought of. Our chat follows after their regular couple takes on comics/sci-fi news of the week.

Wayne Emery at the UK's Trek Mate was good enough to have me back on and share the concept of the Trekland: On Speaker debut CD as a late gift idea (foreign gift deadline is Friday!), and mentioned it there as well as current topics we'll all been buzzing about.We are the final segment there, after co-hosts' other takes.

Then, my buddy and colleague Teras Cassidy of Geek Nation Tours joined in on Germany's TrekcastDE with Malte Kirchner, where we spilled beans on the new Hollywood to Vegas 2013 Trek sites tour, now reservable on deposit ... and yes, "TLOS" Disc 1 as well. Honored to be Malte's second-efer all_english cast, too!


Really, if you want a taste of where Brit and German podding is going re: Trek, take a listen there and in future. Back in L.A., Doug and Jose (co-creators of the unsold Animated Star Trek pitch for the old st.com) cover the broad swath of things genre and fannish; they've done 211 episodes, and we just gave 'em a big taste of Trek this week in our first, too-long-delayed visit.

AND THEN: this Trekland Media Watch of note ends with a long article on ArsTechnica.com about Huston Huddleston's Enterprise-D bridge restoration/museum—a good involved read that was also good enough to include me.




And more's coming ... podders want to know about the CD and the Tour as last-minute gift ideas. Who can blame them? So stay tuned.


And now, back to our regularly scheduled program: "JJ's Movie Marketing Seminar."...

I'm so behind on guesting! These ARE the podcasts you want ...

So many hosts have been keen to hear about The Con of Wrath ... or our Hollywood-to-Vegas film site trek with Geek Nation Tours, which closes guaranteed booking June 15 (but can likely still keep taking Trek tourists after that) ... or just jaw with me about various topics of pure-dee-ol' Trek awesomeness lately ...

...and I have been negligent to let you know about them.  So, as long as it does not slow you down from getting to SoonerCon 21 this weekend ... then download away! Per each one...

—Amid another ear-worthy funkfest with Nick Minecci and the great Terry Schull on The G & T Show ... Teras Cassidy and I pop in for Trek Tour talk, after Terry asks me about Con of Wrath, too  (though the whole show is, of course, worth a whole listen!)





—If it's VISUALS you want, Darren Maloney of the new Trekseak video podcast (yes, video)  in Limerick, Ireland —yes, Ireland—caught me while passing through his town—and amid other things he corners me for an opinion on all things hometown Irish in Trek: take a look!


—And then host Carl Stark has me on his Stolen Droids brand in the first of his new "Presents" format ... and I guess he had a good time talking Trek TV, films, industry dynamics: you decide!




—Then, back in the UK, a gobsmacked Wayne Emery, Marc Stamper and Paul Drinkwater conned me into making the virtual trip cross-pond for their TrekMate show, where this time we go down whatever path those crazy Brits care to veer into.

And finally, if you want to hear how a GERMAN Trek podcast sounds, then give a listen to Trekcast Germany—not to be confused with the recently resurrected US version, as this one hosted by Yann-Patrick Schlame and Malte Kirchner had me on as their first international guest, woo-hoo! And of course we all spoke solely in Mandarin, to commemorate.  NOT.

The Trek Tour comes in for special focus, but we also talked about an American's perspective on FedCon, the old Galileo-7 cons, and other bits of German fandom. Thanks for having me on, der herren!


So it really is a wide array of the best of fan pods that blitzed me in later May and June. 'Twas an honor to be invited on in each and every case (well, all except for Nick & Terry), and each has a distinct personality, angle or insight to share. I hope you give them all a try, and forgive me if I duplicate a story here or there across the different time zones.
