S1:31 Bonus Episode: Riverside, Iowa - the Future Birthplace of Capt. James T. Kirk (interview with Steve Miller)

In this bonus episode, Dana and Dan speak with Steve Miller from Riverside, Iowa. Steve came up with the idea to declare Riverside the "Future Birthplace" of Captain James T. Kirk. Steve talks about coming up with the concept, battling with Paramount Pictures, and meeting celebrities from the original series (including William Shatner, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, and others). Steve's stories are amusing, heartfelt, and (as Spock would say) fascinating!
