The next podcast I’ll be doing with Jon M. Wilson is Star Trek Reading Hour, and we’ll be using The Story Graph for some activities. If you are unfamiliar with the app, it is most comparable to GoodReads, but has no ties to Amazon. It allows forums, Buddy reads, and reading challenges. If you are interested in participating, click through for additional links, in.
Here are the relevant links:

- Star Trek 1-3 by James Blish: Book Club Forum and Buddy Reads for books Star Trek 1, Star Trek 2, and Star Trek 3.
- Star Trek: Vendetta by Peter David: Book Club Forum and Buddy Read
When the podcast launches on September 8, it will launch with three episodes. The “zero” episode will discuss our histories with Star Trek, the first episode will focus on Mission to Horatius and a look at the first three collections of James Blish’s adaptations of individual episodes, and the second episode will cover Peter David’s Vendetta. If these get used, we plan to continue such elements for upcoming episodes of the podcast, as well.
