Star Trek Conventions and the Fans Who Love Them

Positively Trek 216: Star Trek Conventions and the Fans Who Love Them

Plus: New Project for Trek Writers, New Trek Podcast On the Way, and Star Trek Loses a Favourite Villain 

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry DeFord and Dan Gunther discuss the phenomenon of the Star Trek convention. Why do we love them? What are some of our experiences, both positive and negative? And what would a year-long Trek convention be like?

In the news segment, we discuss a new project being undertaken by Star Trek: Discovery writers Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt, newly-announced expansions for Star Trek: Ascendancy, the return of Star Trek: The Pod Directive and new Trek podcast Khan: Ceti Alpha V. We also discuss the sad news of the recent loss of Deep Space Nine’s Louise Fletcher.
