Hi, Helen Hong.

Hi, Jay Keith. How are you?

Very well. Great to talk with you.

You know, in today's episode, we've got Walter Canig versus Danielle Canig.

Now, we recorded this episode last year, but we wanted to hold it until now because Walter has a new book out, and it's released today.

It's called Beaming Up and Getting Off, Life Before and Beyond Star Trek.

You can get a signed copy through Jacobsbrown Media Group.com or get an unsigned copy wherever fine books are sold.

I love fine books.

Those are my favorite.

Now, we're excited to bring you this episode, everybody, not just because it features our first father versus daughter competition, but because it's our first new episode in over two months

that features a live audience. Oh, I remember live audiences. I know. They applaud and they

wot and sometimes they boo me when I don't know things about Star Trek. But I still love them.

You know what? I feel like all my career, I've been taking live audiences for granted, and I never will again.

Never. And speaking of live audience, we've a very special announcement to make. Helen, tell everybody.

We are recording an episode that you can watch live on Tuesday, May 5th at 5 p.m. Pacific time. That's 5.5 at 5. For the first time ever, we're live streaming on video, a podcast recording.

And we've got two very special guests from the NPR hit podcast Ask Me Another host O'Fira Eisenberg.

And from the hit NPR podcast Ask Me Me Another, musician and co-host Jonathan

Colton.
