Choir.com presents The Geek's Guide to the Galaxy. And here is your host, David Barr-Kirtley.

Hello and welcome to episode 178 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show we'll be discussing what we'd like to see in the new Star Trek TV series

that was just announced by CBS and I'm joined by three guests.

So first up we've got our producer John Joseph Adams. He's the

editor of Light Speed and Nightmare Magazines and also the series editor of

Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. He's also edited many other anthologies, including the recent

books Wastelands II, Operation Arcana, and The End Has Come. He's also now the editor of John

Joseph Adams Books, a new science fiction and fantasy imprint of

Houghton Harkcourt. So John, welcome back.

Thanks, good to be here. I'm looking to engage in some good Star Trek debate.

Then next up we've got Raphael Jordan, who you may remember from our panel on the TV show's Kill Joyas and Dark Matter in episode 167.

He's written 23 feature films that have appeared on video and cable

television including Lost Colony, The Legend of Roanoke, The Immortal Voyage of Captain

Drake, Starrunners, and Vampire Nation. One of his films, Yeti, was the Sci-Fi Channel's highest rated original program of 2008.

So Raphael, welcome to the show.

Hey man, thanks for having me back. Should be fun.
