Gene-ology enters the world of Gene Roddenberry, show creator and producer, with the unsold 1960 pilot "333 Montgomery". Even though the show didn't sell, it did cement a long friendship that would affect the casting of a future starship forever.

Join us as we dig into the Roddenberry archives and discuss how Gene's early writing shaped the groundbreaking worlds he would later bring to our screens. Hosted by Earl Green and Ashley Thomas

Guest starring John Krikorian as Jake Britten, and James Kerwin as Captain Quincy
