Mission Log is a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast with the sole purpose of exploring the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. That’s right, this podcast will cover six different series and 30 seasons of television by journeying into every one of the 726 episodes with a single mission: to explore, debate and discuss one of the largest science fiction phenomena of all time, Star Trek. Starting with The Original Series’ initial pilot and continuing chronologically until we reach the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, each week our hosts, Ken Ray and John Champion, will tackle a single episode, delving into the most historical and hysterical science fiction that Star Trek has to offer. Along with a variety of guests and interviews, Mission Log will attempt to reach Star Trek’s ethical subtext, understand it’s complex metaphors and finally figure out what was the trouble with those tribbles. Explore strange new details. Seek out new perspectives; deeper understandings. Boldly go where so many of us love to go, again and again. Join us for Mission Log!

Some people say it's George's world, we're just living in it. George Takei may be best known as Hikaru Sulu, but we were excited to tackle a range of topics from politics to human rights to public transportation and, of course, a bit of Star Trek for good measure.

Doctor Paul Stubbs is on the verge of completing the work of his life - an experiment on which he has worked for 20 years. It is also an experiment that can only be run once every two centuries, so getting it right would be good. Sadly, an experiment run by Wesley Crusher has taken on a life of its own. Literally. It could kill the work of Doctor Stubbs. It could also kill everyone on the Enterprise. Season three of Next Gen begins when we put Evolution in the Mission Log.

Supplemental 21 - Another One with David Gerrold
We know that as a writer David Gerrold has always got at least one more interesting story to tell. For his return to Mission Log, we dig deep into the circumstances around the first two seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation and what led to David's departure. It's a personal and sometimes difficult look at what makes or breaks a TV show in production.
Plus we kick off a new segment by welcoming Larry Nemecek to discuss Discovered Documents from the Roddenberry archive. Visit Larry at

109 - Angel One
Angel One - a lovely, peaceful planet. At least it was until four off-worlder men landed there and started thinking that men and women should be treated as equals. Not a popular idea on this matriarchal planet. Good thing the Enterprise is here to take the men away. Now if only they were willing to go. Can the men evade the death sentence suddenly imposed? Find out when we put Angel One in the Mission Log.
