A MESSAGE FROM THE TREKSPERTS: Please note this episode was recorded remotely via Zoom and as such the sound quality may not be up to the usual high standards of the podcast recorded in the studio. We hope the content will make up for any deficiencies in the audio. Meanwhile, we ask all our listeners to please listen to the experts, trust science, self isolate, quarantine, stay safe, stay home... and Keep on Trekkin' #LLAP 

The Treksperts are joined by writer/journalist/editor DAVID HIRSCH who relives the early days of working for the fledgling Starlog Magazine in the early 70s as well as writing the classic Starlog Photo Guidebook series, compiling the Moonbase Alpha Technical Manual and editing the Starlog Communications Handbook as well as his involvement with the restoration of the original Starship Enterprise miniature for the Smithsonian. And, because apparently our listeners can't get enough of Space: 1999 these days, we even talk about his relationship with the late, great Gerry Anderson.
