We're LIVE this Saturday on Internet radio...twice!

UPDATE: If you missed them, these live shows with yours truly last week are now up as downloadable podcast archives: All Things Trek Ep. 136  and The Jeff-Trek marathon show!



 
The new Trek Tour of LA2Vegas film sites... the latest Star Trek Continues episode and what's coming next ... that cool "Stellar Cartography"… the T-Trunk, of course … and finally, just about anything that's hot in Trek trends and topics …. commercial or thematic.

Tantalizing topics? Well, if you and I never got to cross paths at a convention, why not get on and talk/listen with me LIVE tomorrow—Saturday afternoon/evening, Feb. 22—over Internet radio.

TWICE.

First up, try me at 1 p.m. Pacific/4 p.m. Eastern on "All Things Trek" with host Oren, Grace and Deyvid over Trekradio.net. You can interact with the show live in the Trekradio chatroom there… and for now you can share this huge poster on Facebook!

And right after—mind the gap, grab a bite and a cold one!—I'll be on live at 2:30 pm PT/5:30 pm ET on the "JeffTrek" show over NBD Media. You can call in live for at least an hour—maybe two?—at 914-338-0314, with the enthusiastic Jeff Ferguson and co-host Mr. Goodnight.

And for a shout-out a week early: I'll also be on live on CAMERA for an hour or more next Friday, Feb. 28 at 3 p.m. PT/ 6 p.m. ET on UK-based Trek Mate —another show where you can pop in live to join in, either via the comments box under the streaming video at that YouTube link, or tweeting with the hashtag #TrekMateLive.

All of these live shows will be archived as podcasts you can download later, too… so while we're on that subject:

I've been negligent to thank a heap of other podcasters who have great shows and been kind enough to have me on in this busy season after the release of ST Continues and "Stellar Cartography". They want to talk about my stuff, but in almost each one, the varying personalities of the hosts and co-hosts means we also veer off into current-day Trek talk and topics as well.... the franchise future, how old Trek fandom compares to fandom today, goofy aspects of old fandom that SHAPE new fandom ... and where to put your energy if you want "new" official Trek.

These are all great shows that are worth the podcast download habit, if you are so inclined. And if not—why not try it out? A great way to pass the commute, the jog... the ironing slog.

In fact, with all the Trek attention on Star Trek Continues and "Stellar Cartography", for starters… and with the LA2Vegas Trek tour coming up … I've been on a slew of other shows in recent weeks—and then negligent  to post them. I'll make up for that tomorrow! 

AFTER you take a shot at the live shows.

TNG S3 movie night is here! Share your pics and stories

Are you one of the Treklanders heading to theaters tomorrow night in drones... er, droves... to catch TNG's "The Best of Both Worlds" in HD and an all-new cinematic-length edit?

Well, you're not alone! It's become a huge night for CBS Home Entertainment and its sparkling TNG Blu-ray remastered series —with Season 3 next out on April 30, and up for pre-order now. There's also a single disc on sale of what you'll see Thursday, the specially-edited "film" of BOBW and a documentary.

Here at Trekland, do you remember what we did for the inaugural S1 movie night and the  S2 followup? Fans took pics of the evening and shared them—so let's do that again. And drop me a note about the night as well. Just use larry@larrynemecek.com, even if you post them elsewhere—and don't forget a note about your experience.

For instance, many of the theaters are sold out! So what does your crowd look like? Much less your own party group? Share, and we'll run as many as we can—along with the stories of our five Trekland ticket winners for two passes in Phoenix, Kansas City, Cleveland, Philly and Boston.

Tell me what you think of not only the night, but the feature edit—and the documentary that will be shown. Roger Lay and Rob Burnett have done another great and unvarnished job on the docs, and I just watched Season 3's full-season set where Michael Piller's stabilizing of the scripts and the upset writing staff is a highlight—and the subject of a special tribute. Any reader of my TNG Companion knows I long ago called him "the man who saved TNG," and thus perhaps all future Star Trek—and Ira Steven Behr is particularly honest about painting a complete picture of Michael. You'll want to watch ALL FOUR of the new docs when you get the S3 set right off the bat—and yes, all the DVD-era features are here as well. Plus, an all-new assembled blooper reel, too... or "gag reel," as they say in the biz.

TrekRadio has planned to have 12 movie sites nationwide covered by popular podcasters with live reports Thursday, so be listening there if you can't make it ... As for me, I'll be at the Tinseltown Theatre in El Paso with fans there, on the eve of Sun City SciFi con this weekend—and of course sharing a shot or two.

And an FYI: CBS is being modest about it, but each of these TNG movie nights truly is a promotion for each new Blu-ray set. In order to keep it that way and avoid higher costs from add-on fees to original actors and crew, any actual profit CBS makes is being donated once again to the American Red Cross. So you can even feel even better while you're rescuing Picard... and TV history.

And getting in training for that OTHER movie next month ...

FLASH: One more chance at Vegas Khaaan tix? Hurry!

Thus— better hurry! Offer ends this Friday, Aug. 3!

Join us on TrekRadio today—and send in your Qs!

The good folks at TrekRadio.net online are having me on live to guest in their "worldwide slot" today, Saturday July 2—and for a whole hour.

What a way to kick off your lazy long Fourth holiday weekend!

This latest stop in the media blitz to talk about summer cons, all things Trekgeek and of course The Con of Wrath is from NOON to 1 p.m. Pacific... that's 3-4 p.m. Eastern. Or measure it ... in your time zone.

They are allowing folks to submit questions in advance:
—Tweet to hosts @RadioRisa or @Radio_Kain
—Email to hosts risa@trekradio.net  or kain@trekradio.net live
—Or just join in on IRC chat during the show, and post them at the site.

Hope to hear from you all then!  I'll have some updates re: THE CON OF WRATH and—finally—some details on how fans can help.

Catch us on these new podcasts—and LIVE on Trekradio tomorrow!

Remember this? We had a heckuva time geekin' out on all things Trekland with author Dayton Ward, Jarred "Hey Star Trek" Formby and Damon "Geek Fights" Shaw—all thanks to Chris and Charity Wood hosting us in a wackydoodle wide-raning trek geeksters' roundtable in the "Life After Trek" podcast series over at their Subspace Communiques news site.

Well, now the concluding Part 2 marathon is now up, in which we cover JJTrek '09 and Enterprise and look to the future ... " The FUUUU-ture!" (Hope the false, forced vibrato came out.)

You should also take a listen to Slice of Sci-Fi when Michael Mennenga & crew had my (ahem) extended soapbox of a visit to talk about The Con of Wrath and what's up with what this sci-fi summer. (If time is short, we start at @ 9:20).  If you must demand your geek insight be of the sighted variety, they now offer the shows on YouTube—though I am but an enigmatic cypher and a logo, of course.

And coming up—an HOUR tomorrow, Sat. July 2, on live Internet global radio at noon Pacific/ 3 p.m. Eastern  at trekradio.net!

Whew.
