Star Trek: Enterprise’s Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating are launching a new podcast.
At this point, people are going to be assigned a podcast when they sign up to get their driver’s license. The state of podcasting is so robust that it’s shocking to find out who doesn’t have one at this point. For Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating of Star Trek: Enterprise, they are no longer among the group who don’t have their own podcast. The duo has launched their own show called the Shuttlepod Show.
Apparently, the duo was inspired by Star Trek: Voyager’s Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill, who launched the Star Trek: Voyager specific podcast, The Delta Flyers. Like with Duncan-McNeill and Wang, Keating and Trinneer are good friends, and their show will follow a similar premise, where they talk about their time on Enterprise, Star Trek, and other things that catch their eye.
The show is well underway, with five episodes already up on their YouTube page. John Billingsley, Gary Graham, Vaughn Armstrong, Jeffrey Combs, and John Fleck have all sat down with the crew so far and it appears to be going well.
Conor Trinneer and Dominic Keating want the Shuttlepod Show to be a late-night show for Star Trek fans
According to the duo, via Heavy, Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating are wanting to make their Shuttlepod Show a late-night show for Star Trek.
According to Keating;
"If we’re going to be what we hope we want to be… I hope that this show catches fire and that Connor and I can be something like late-night ‘Star Trek’ chat show hosts."
While there are a lot of podcasts in the Star Trek verse, The Delta Flyers and The Seventh Rule Podcast with Cirroc Lofton, there really aren’t any that would serve as a universal podcast. At least none with the name power of Keating and Trinneer.
We’ve seen other stars of other ventures start a podcast and turn it into a big deal; like Pat McAfee of the NFL and the WWE. He started a podcast that has since taken off, and it’s always possible Star Trek fans embrace Trinneer and Keating’s show the same way.
