HTP Episode 173 – Natalia Castellanos, Jonathan Del Arco… and John Billingsley!

John Billingsley (Seen in Star Trek: Enterprise as well as Episodes 68 and 154 of Hungry Trilobyte) returns with Jonathan Del Arco (Star Trek: Picard) and the two are led by Natalia Castellanos (Bosch). Their goal is to round up as many Star Trek fans, talent, and supporters for the picketing event United We Trek, which aims to show up at the gates of Paramount Studios on Star Trek Day, September 8. This will voice support for the ongoing strike efforts by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. In this episode, the four of us focus on how the strike efforts can secure the quality of life of many creatives, and also how the AI components threaten people far outside Hollywood if the negotiations fail.

The picket locations are:

5433 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038 And 1515 Broadway New York, NY 10036.

Donate to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation if you want to make a monetary contribution.

HTP Episode 012 – Lee Sargent (Lee Draws Stuff)

Lee Sargent is a popular artist, known for his childlike interpretations of scenes from Star Trek, Dr. Who, and Stargate. Lee feels passionately about letting people enjoy stories on their own terms, that stories are about escapism and creativity. What I love about this chat is that we get to discuss the balance between an artist’s original intention and the audience’s vision. We also get to talk about Australia’s wildlife and doing cons outside the US, with such awesome events as Oz Comic Con and Supanova in his backyard.
