Alpha Waves Radio

He's known as Dr. Trek, literally the man who can be found everywhere Star Trek fandom is. Larry Nemecek visits with Alpha Waves Radio host Michael Hinman to talk about where Star Trek has been and where it's going, plus some of his great ongoing projects like Trekland (LarryNemecek.com) and Portal 47 (Portal47.net). And let's not forget that long-in-the-making documentary, "The Con of Wrath."

If there's something Michael Hinman likes to spend a lot of time talking about, it's the business of television. Why do some shows get renewed while others get canceled? Why do some shows get series orders while others end up on the cutting room floor? And why are some companies — especially those that own a major television network — choosing to stream some of their expensive high-profile shows like "Star Trek: Discovery," instead of simply airing them on their already-owned network?

Michael Hinman welcomes Jayson Peters, the man behind the online entertainment and gaming resource Nerdvana Media. Yes, that opens the doors to a lot of geekdom (and boy, do they discuss it), but it also allowed Alpha Waves Radio to spend a little more time in the universe of "Doctor Who," including some of the classic series.

You knew him as that amazing Ferengi Nog (among a bunch of amazing Ferengi) on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and now Aron Eisenberg is the co-host of The 7th Rule, a brand new show he hosts with former DS9 co-star Cirroc Lofton on ODYSY (Odysy1.com). Aron talks about the new show, what fans should expect, and what he hopes is the future of his interaction with not only Star Trek fans, but fans of his new podcast as well.

We guess Paramount Pictures forgot to put out a press release, but in the news that director SJ Clarkson was going to direct the pilot for the new "Game of Thrones" sequel, we all learned something new — "Star Trek 4" has been cancelled. What does that mean? Michael Hinman turned to the experts to find out — and by experts, he means some great film journalists like Adam Barnard from Screen Fever and Gateworld, as well as Crooked Table host Robert Yaniz Jr.

There are not a lot of people who can claim to have watched every single minute of Star Trek ever produced. John Champion not only can say that, but he's probably done a podcast about it, too! John joins host Michael Hinman to talk Star Trek, fandom and so much more. From January 2019.

An independent game developer in the Middle East, Anas Abdin has sued CBS and Netflix, claiming that "Star Trek: Discovery" was lifted from his unreleased game "Tardigrades." The case is still in the early-going. But what is copyright? Who can claim it? What exactly can be copyrighted?

Do you think you've got what it takes to be a good novelist? Try doing it with not only a very demanding full-time job, but also a wife and three kids. Brian Bandell does it a lot, and has released his latest novel, "Silence the Living," which is now available pretty much everywhere books are sold.

If you thought "Warehouse 13" was fantastic, then you need to thank the man Michael Hinman welcomes this week on Alpha Waves Radio, Jack Kenny. He was the showrunner for "Warehouse 13," and joins Michael to talk about "The Birds Sing Too Loud," a fantastic short that stars Kate Mulgrew ("Star Trek: Voyager," "Orange is the New Black"), Jane Lynch ("Glee," "The Good Fight"), and Braxton Molinaro ("Oklahoma!"), which you can find right now on FunnyOrDie.

What is fake news? How do we find it? How do we weed it out? Alpha Waves Radio host Michael Hinman, steps back from his usual interview format to break it all down, using one outlet that has become popular almost overnight through its YouTube channel.
