Episode 180: Dennis McCarthy

Today, we're chatting with Dennis McCarthy, who might just be the only person to be involved in all 25 seasons of Star Trek from The Next Generation through Enterprise. Certainly, no one else had the magnitude of creative output as he had during his 18 years on Trek. No one else - no one - wrote as much music for Star Trek as Dennis McCarthy.
