Happy New Year! New Website Online!

Happy New Year! For the last month or so, Trek Radio has been eagerly working on a new and updated website for you all, which we hinted at on our existing website via a countdown timer and mentioned sporadically on air – many of you have been waiting for it and here it is.

We hope you all like the design – we have spent a lot of time on it and will probably still be making little tweaks here and there for the new several days, but this is the result of our hard work so be sure to let us all know what you think by leaving a comment!  The comments system is much easier now, all you have to do is access the story page for the news item you want to read, and the commenting form will be there at the bottom. Alternatively, you can click on the little “x Comments” link on the homepage and be taken right to the comments area!

In the next day or two, we will be launching a new Trek Radio console, a popup window which you can launch via a link in the top right and have access to the music player, the IRC chat room, the new song requests system and song information – we hope that by combining all of this interactivity into one console, you will all feel more compelled to chat in our chat room, request songs and feel invited to participate on a much higher level.

We will be making an important and exciting announcement later on today regarding Trek Radio, so please check back later and look out for that, but in the meantime, be sure to let us know what you think of the new website, report any bugs and last but not least, we hope that you all have a very happy new year!

Unexpected Server Downtime

We are currently experiencing an unexpected server downtime. DJ Hick moved the servers to the Metrodome and now it’s completley covered. Who knew an inflatable roof was a bad idea in Minnesota? 

Our managers are working with CentovaCast to get this issue resolved as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience.

Doug Drexler Interview available for download!

The amazing interview with Doug Drexler conducted yesterday morning at 11am on December 18th is now available for download in our on-demand section!

Weighing in at 2 hours and 22 minutes, the interview covers alot of ground; we start back in the sixties during Drexler’s childhood and speak a little about his first experiences with Star Trek.  Following on from that, we spoke a little about his “Federation Outpost” store which he ran during the seventies and then chatted about how he become a makeup artist! We then go on to talk about some of his movies including Starman, how he got involved in Star Trek: The Next Generation, some time was spent discussing Enterprise, the movies, Dick Tracy and many many other subject.

In addition, the beautiful and amazing actress, Barbara Luna [imdb] (Lt. Marlena Moreau from the TOS episode Mirror Mirror!) called in during the show for a while and she and Drexler spoke a little back and forth, even dueting for a short section!  If that wasn’t enough, veteran designer Steve Neill [imdb] (The Motion Picture, Ghostbusters, Puppetmaster) called in as well and spoke with Drexler for a short while!

All of that said, after two hours, we had to bring this part of the interview to a wrap as Drexler had to get away for some christmas festivities, however we have much more ground to cover so we are labelling this as “Part 1” and we are currently working too schedule Part 2!
