We have something a little different on today's Cryptid Creator Corner, but I think it's a conversation you are really going to enjoy. I'm chatting with Aaron Waltke, the Co-Executive Producer and Co-Head Writer for Season Two of Star Trek: Prodigy, which is available now on Netflix. I have been a fan of Star Trek for as long as I can remember. Star Trek: The Next Generation started when I was 8 years old and I was hooked. I started watching Star Trek: Prodigy with my 11 year old daughter Charlotte and we both loved it: the characters, the fun of it all, the adventure, so I was delighted to chat with Aaron about Prodigy and being in the writer's room and now co-Head Writer for Season Two. But don't worry if you tune in for comics talk because Aaron wrote one of the stories in this year's How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days and we discuss how that opportunity came about and how he approached writing Red Tornado. 

I hope you give this one a listen and indulge me as I nerd out with a fellow Trekkie and be sure to watch Season One and Season Two of Star Trek: Prodigy now on Netflix.
