104: WWKD and WWSD

Dave Galanter: Crisis of Consciousness. Star Trek books have always been good at filling in the gaps and giving us a deeper understanding for the decisions the characters make on screen, it's one of the joys of Treklit.  In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther are joined by author Dave Galanter to talk about his newest TOS book, Crisis of Consciousness. We discuss his Star Trek story, coming up with new adventures, his influences, writing the TOS cast and them working together, dovetailing with his first book, the psychology of Star Trek and where to find him online. In the news segment we take a look at the newest Titan novel cover and talk about the blub.     Hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther   Guest Dave Galanter   Editor and Producer  Matthew Rushing  Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Will Nguyen Ken Tripp   Production Manager Richard Marquez   Content Coordinator Will Nguyen   News Book Cover Judging and Blub (00:02:04)   Feature: Dave Galanter Introduction (00:06:07) Dave's Star Trek Story (00:07:13) New Adventures (00:10:05) Influences (00:25:35) Writing the Cast (00:26:23) Working Together (00:33:14) Writing Scotty (00:46:07) McCoy (00:49:43) Zhatan's Confusion (00:52:02) Dovetailing Troublesome Minds (00:56:06) Psychology of Star Trek (00:58:47) Star Trek's Special Place (01:08:10) Finding Dave Online (01:19:15) Closing (01:24:11)   Send us your feedback!
