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.

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."...

More pods, new pods!: We're on Trek Mate & Priority One

Just so you know: With only 35 seats max, we want to let fans around the world know about the Hollywood-to-Vegas Trek Sites Tour coming up in August as soon as possible ....


Thus, the reason for covering the pod world so that no matter who your fave downloads are, we'll hopefully turn up at one of them: either me alone, or my "boss" Teras from Geek Nation Tours—or, heavens, both of us.


Of course, if you just can't wait to hear what hilarity tumbles out of my mouth next, this is also a good prod just to go listen outside the box as well: sampling some new podcasts is a great way to try out hosts or shows you might not already know. Everybody is trying to find their own niche on the pod spectrum, and power to 'em.


Thus, today you can give a listen (or download) to the very latest this past weekend from Wayne and Marc at UK-based Trek Mate again—after my rookie visit earlier this year, they wanted me back for the Tour, with Teras  ... and we still managed to squeeze in some geekery, as well as more details on the Hollywood Trek. And with breaking news, too! 


I also enjoyed my maiden voyage with Elijah and James, the Priority One podguys at Quantum Cafe, and once again we had a rollickin' time... it's up just today.  Yes, I did let them squeeze a couple of old stories out of me, too;  I mean, they're chestnuts to me, but for anybody new to this game I suppose that, yes, they might be fresh peanuts!  Either way, the guys were great to have us on and were very kind—and cool to run the Hollywood Trek Tour link on all their pages. (And even let me plug for fan-donor donations to THE CON OF WRATH once again!)


(You know, if just a thousand fans gave $20 each ... that would be a lot of donor screen credits.)
