This week on The Clonestar Podcast, Jodi Pickens and Mike Overton sit down with veteran Star Trek writer and producer Mike Sussman for an in-depth look at his time shaping two defining eras of modern Trek — Voyager and Enterprise.

From the alternate realities of “Twilight” to the fan-favourite “In a Mirror, Darkly” and the thought-provoking “Author, Author”, Sussman reflects on the creative process behind some of the most memorable episodes of 1990s and early-2000s Star Trek.

He shares candid stories from the writers’ room, the challenges of balancing continuity and innovation, and what it was like collaborating with Trek icons from Janeway to Archer.
