How It’s Made (Of Fail) – Star Trek: Galilea, Episode Five

Posted on by

I do tend to get a lot of questions on how to set up podcasts and similar projects – it is, after all, why I made the podcasting tutorial that I’m proud to say still gets a lot of shares today – and with the positive feedback I’ve been getting for Star Trek: Galilea, I figured I’d go over the process of creating an episode!

The first step is the Writers’ Room Meetings. As I do not write Galilea on my own, I have multiple writer’s meetings with Noel, Alina, and Adam every month to make sure we’re on the same page in terms of not only the episode we’re working on, but the season as a whole.

Much like the Winter That Never Was, this Spring is already shaping up to be a bit inconsistent. It’s hot! It’s cold! It’s 80 and humid! Wear a jacket, you’ll freeze out there!

Spring — nothing beats the feeling of the first time I can put on a light jacket and sneakers after months of heavy coat and boots. Seeing fresh buds on trees cheers me up. And later in the season, around my birthday, the cherry blossoms in High Park bloom.

What has been up with this weather lately? 80 degrees for almost the entirety of March, when it should be… well, it should be nicer than previous years, but certainly not above 56! (Unless you go by Celsius, in which case I can’t be bothered to find a conversion, it’s probably the difference between like 20 and 21 degrees, however that scale works I don’t know.)

In any case, I was out flying a kite this weekend. It was freakin’ delightful. Go out and take advantage of this freak occurrence, and when you do take your Summer with you and bring back my Spring!

(Does it smell like rain to anyone else? Just me?)

This week, we asked: What are you reading right now? Books, comics, etc. Readers, join in the discussion in the comments! And don’t forget to send more questions in!

Right now I’m re-reading Night Watch, with an intention of starting a re-read of the Dresden Files books after I finish.

“We’re So Screwed, Part II: Hot To Katratzi”

In which the Moyans once again penetrate a hostile base to suppress the use of wormhole technology. This time, they’re dropping in uninvited, and the security measure is rather more… extreme.
