HAPPY NEW YEAR! We kick off 2024 with our animated spotlight on the beloved Star Trek: Lower Decks and we do it by bringing in one of the biggest fans of the show: Katie Hampton, a comedy writer and performer in LA who co-hosts the Napping Through Happy Hour Podcast (social: @ElSassyPants or @ElSassyPantz on TIkTok). She was also a guest on our Star Trek: Picard -  "Surrender" episode last season. Will she and Bryan see eye to eye on this new kid on the block in the Trek universe? 

"Second Contact" begins at (30:48). "Envoys" begins at (1:13:07).

On this week’s episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore’s news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Caleb Dorsch to discuss all the latest Star Trek news.

This week, Alex and his guest discuss the following stories from around the web:

• TrekCore: STAR TREK: DISCOVERY’s Final Adventure Begins in April 2024 (11:56)

• TrekMovie: Nicholas Meyer Gives Update On ‘Star Trek: Khan – Ceti Alpha V’ And Why Making It An Audio Drama Is “Perfect” (24:53)

• TrekMovie: Jonathan Frakes Returning To Direct For ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 3 (33:52)

• Collider: Filming Star Trek's 'Strange New Worlds' x 'Lower Decks' Crossover Was a "Dream Come True" for Tawny Newsome (38:59)

In addition, stick around to hear Caleb’s theory about the identity of Callum Keith Rennie’s Captain Rayner in Star Trek: Discovery season five, and Alex theorizing with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season three and the Section 31 movie both moving into production in the next month, which will we get to see first?

Tawny Newsome is excited to be able to talk about Star Trek again now that the SAG-AFTRA strike seems to be over. I was able to monopolize a few minutes of her time to talk about her character, Beckett Mariner, in Star Trek: Lower Decks, as well as that crossover episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and being in the writers room of the upcoming series Star Trek: Starlet Academy. I’m T. Rick Jones and this is your Daily Star Trek News.

ROCKTOBER all month long we cover music documentaries here at Sup Doc.

George and Paco visit with actress/improviser/musician Tawny Newsome to discuss her experience cosplaying STOP MAKING SENSE-era Talking Heads for Documentary Now and in a cover band. We talk about Second City, her projects with Jon Langford (Mekons, Skull Orchard), the WOOZ of Vacaville, and recording with the legendary Muscle Shoals Swampers!

Stop Making Sense (1984) is the concert film of the last Talking Heads tour, shot in Los Angeles and directed by Jonathan Demme. Considered one of the best live concert films of all time!

Tawny Newsome is a series regular on Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, frequent guest on Comedy Bang Bang and Spontaneanation, and a singer who collaborates with Jon Langford, most recently on Four Lost Souls on Bloodshot Records. She is currently starring in the Netflix comedy Space Force along with Steve Carell.
