Welcome to Gene-ology, where we explore the earliest TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek!
Gene-ology examines “Beyond Atlas”, a one-off script for an unmade series might have been “West Point, but for the Air Force Academy” – except that, as written by Gene Roddenberry, it reads like a pitch for Starfleet Academy, which is impressive considering it was written mere weeks after Sputnik changed the world.
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 Geoff Gottlieb as Lt. Col. Caulfield and Michael Richards as Jim Highland
