John Champion and MissionLogPodcast.com, Part 2-The Journey Continues


Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics which might not seem to be directly related to compliance but clearly influence our profession. In this episode, I conclude a two-part series with John Champion, one of the founders of Mission Log, a Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast. John’s original mission was to do a podcast on every episode of Star Trek, beginning with TOS, TAS, the movies, TNG, DS9, Voyager and beyond. It began in 2012 as a 14-year odyssey and has only grown in length. In this Part 2, we take up the Star Trek story at TNG and bring it forward to the present day.  Highlights include:

  1. The uneven start of TNG and how the show found its footing.
  2. The Trek Files and Dr. Trek himself, Larry Nemecek.
  3. A new generation takes over from Gene Roddenberry and the original creative team.
  4. DS9-a town on the frontier.
  5. A new Star Trek in the 21st century.
  6. Picard-Seasons 1 & 2.
  7. Star Trek-a show for its time and for all time.
