Quick recap of the past few months:
- New Video: Permanent: The Oldest Story in the World. Music by Arthur Yoria.
- Started broadcasting on Star Trek Radio (also known as STO-Radio).
- Interviewed Chase Masterson (Leeta. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
- Participated in the NASA/IBEX briefing on the conditions at the edge of the Solar System.
- Set up an interview in October with Dr. Rock Sternbach (Sr. Illustrator, Star Trek:The Next Generation).
On Permanent: I really wanted to do a 2012 story that incorporates information from Zecharia Sitchin book, 'The Lost Book of Enki', learn flash animation & use the music of Arthur Yoria... ...as well as create a video submission for the Guggenheim 'YouPlay' event (in conjunction w/ YouTube). All went well, with the exception that the Guggenheim do not choose my entry. No biggie. What mattered most to me was that I start getting a grip on Flash as well as basic animation techniques. I learned a lot and feel like I really overcame some serious hurdles.
On Star Trek Radio (STO-Radio): My podcasting partner since 2005, Zach Nicodemous at Hailing Frequency informed me he had the means to start the radio station we had always wanted. Though it would no be the 'Fleet Radio' station I wanted, it would be under the web sites, startrekradio.com as well as STO-Radio.com. After things went very very bad at subspace-radio.net (please boycott them, by the way) I was not sure if I wanted to broadcast at all anymore, but he talked me into it. I'm glad I did. It is a great station and we have some amazing DJ's and almost full 24/7 live coverage as well as the best fan made audio dramas.
On Chase Masterson: What an amazing and beautiful woman. I'm really honored I was able to be a co-host on that interview. It was awesome finding out all the great projects she has been involved in since Trek. Her awards for Producing and the charities she helps out with.
On participating in the NASA/IBEX teleconference: I had nothing to loose by requesting Press access to the teleconference. I was surprised that I actually got it. So this afternoon, I tuned in and dialed-up and presented my question. It was neat getting to say: "This is Anthony Tuthill for Star Trek Radio...". I have been following the IBEX mission since launch and have a deep interest in the magnetic fields of our solar system as well as the possibility of being able to leverage them for space propulsion someday.
On Doc Sternbach. I have interviewd the Doc a few times in the past and really felt the need to reconnect with him and find out what's new. I'm in the process of scheduling a date to have him on-air in mid October.
On other celebs: It looks like I may have an opportunity to interview Wil Wheaton , Rod Roddenberry, Warp 11, George Takei and possibly even William Shatner. Some may be very soon... ...others may not be until next year.
--Best
