Scott Hertzog – A teacher and lover of all things science fiction (well, most things anyway), he remembers three defining moments in his scifi career.  When he was six, he remembers watching Jules Verne’s Mysterious Island on a little black and white TV and the big bees scaring the crap out of him.  Later, he had a librarian at his middle school hand him a copy of Andre Norton’s Galactic  Derelict and it radically changed his life.  From then on he consumed all the science fiction he could get his hands on.   And the third thing was, well, meeting Miles and starting this podcast of course.  He is an avid Star Wars fan of both the films and the extended universe and also is infatuated with J.R.R. Tolkien.  Being a family man, he watches and reads as much science fiction as that can allow.

Miles McLoughlin - An aspiring HVAC Service Tech and a lover of all things Star Trek and other scifi, his earliest memories are of watching the original Star Trek on a black and white TV with his father back in the early seventies. Miles remembers playing with Star Trek toys and action figures back in the day. He wishes he hadn’t traded them for lollipops. They might be worth something. Also, Miles liked Superman and Batman and Robin, as they were on TV at time as well. Later on, Star Wars became Miles’ new love. Star Wars now known as Star Wars IV: A New Hope was the first movie he saw at a drive in theater with his family. Three Star Wars movies and all the toys kept Miles going for quite some time. During that time the classic Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers were playing on TV, which also helped him survive the 1970′s and nurtured Miles’ addiction for sci fi and entertainment. Throughout the 80′s and later, Star Trek came back to the big screen and the small screen which wooed Miles heart to Star Trek again. Miles continues to enjoy the extended Star Trek universe that can be found in hundreds of novels over the years and in recent years with the advent of internet fan films. Miles is fortunate to be married to a loving and understanding woman who has similiar interests. Miles is looking forward to the fall tv schedule this year, which will bring back some of his other scifi favorites and some new shows to enjoy as well.

You asked for suggestions about changes.

Love the podcast, don’t have any suggestions for content changes. Technically:

–You are pretty good about keeping everyone talking at about the same audio level. Keep doing that! Nothing drives me away from a show faster than the inaudible phone interview that I have to crank up then the host talks and blasts my eardrums out.

–keep the audio level high. MP3 players can legally only go so load and if there isn’t level to work with I can’t hear you over traffic

–keep the MP3 version easy to find and download (you are great on that and the RSS feed works). I can’t always sit at home to listen, and many people don’t want to get locked in to the itunes prison.

Life is short…

Hello!

I’m writing to quickly introduce to you our new book, “STAR TREK: THE COMPLETE UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY”, by long-time sci-fi and Star Trek scribe Robert Greenberger which will hit shelves in November. The book covers the entire Star Trek franchise – the series, movies, merchandising and the role the incredibly passionate, loyal and creative fans have played in making Trek a fixture in pop culture.

Are you going to New York Comic Con? Robert Greenberger will be at our booth multiple days and is available for interviews. Besides Star Trek comics and novels he also wrote The Batman Encyclopedia, The Batman Vault and was an editor at DC Comics. If not at Comic Con, Robert is available for interviews – he would make a great and interesting guest for Sci Fi Diner.

I’d love to send you a preview of the book, too…just send me your mailing address!

Thank you and I hope to hear from you,

Steve
