Podcast Overview

Mission Log is a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast with the sole purpose of exploring the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. That's right, this podcast will cover six different series and 30 seasons of television by journeying into every one of the 726 episodes with a single mission: to explore, debate and discuss one of the largest science fiction phenomena of all time, Star Trek. Starting with The Original Series' initial pilot and continuing chronologically until we reach the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, each week our hosts will tackle a single episode, delving into the most historical and hysterical science fiction that Star Trek has to offer. Along with a variety of guests and interviews, Mission Log will attempt to reach Star Trek's ethical subtext, understand it's complex metaphors and finally figure out what was the trouble with those tribbles. Explore strange new details. Seek out new perspectives; deeper understandings. Boldly go where so many of us love to go, again and again. Join us for Mission Log!

Mission Log Supplemental 84 – Voyager Wrap-Up Part 2: The One with Ken Biller

<p class="p1">After seven seasons and one very contested transporter accident, we welcome Voyager executive producer and co-creator of Tuvix, Ken Biller, for a wide-ranging conversation about the legacy of Star Trek: Voyager. Guest co-host Earl Green joins John to explore the creative pressures behind the series finale, the constraints of '90s television, and how a light-hearted idea about a goofy transporter mix-up became one of Trek's most morally complex debates. Also: alternate titles, unwritten sequels, and that time Ken was a Jeopardy! answer.</p> <p class="p1">It's a candid, thoughtful look back from someone who was there from the first season to Endgame.</p> <p dir="ltr">Hosted by John Champion and Earl Green</p> <p dir="ltr">Welcome to <strong>Mission Log</strong>, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.
