Garrett Wang On ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ And Podcasting + News Roundup Analysis

Anthony and Laurie go through the latest news, starting with a round-up of Starfleet Academy tidbits—voice casting, a character photo, and a brand-new poster—to build up anticipating for its January 2026 debut. They discuss Christina Chong’s perception of what season 3 of Strange New Worlds will bring and all the photos and videos Anson Mount is posting as they wind up filming on the show for the final time. And Prodigy is up for two Emmys, plus it’s about to leave Netflix. Next, they switch into movie mode, with updates on why a Paramount exec canceled the Noah Hawley Star Trek movie, and what it might mean if Paramount (Skydance) ends up acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery. They have the latest on the long-awaited Voyager documentary To The Journey and a possible next season of The Center Seat, the already sold out Star Trek Lego set along with the sad news that Hero Within (and other smaller companies) can’t afford their Trek license anymore. Then they round up all the intel from the Trek to Chicago convention, with interviews and panels from Todd Stashwick, Jeri Ryan, William Shatner, and Brent Spiner & Gates McFadden, who add some detail to Jonathan Frakes’ story from a few weeks back about TNG table reads. Then they play Laurie’s interview with Garrett Wang about Voyager‘s 30th anniversary, “Two-Pip Kim,” early days with Jennifer Lien, and more. They wrap up with Tony’s enthusiasm for the new Stargate series, Laurie’s announcement of the date for Trek Talks 5, and a lot of Instagram activity from Marina Sirtis and Michael Dorn. Phew!
