It seems like everyone has a podcast these days. We have Deep Space Nine's Cirroc Lofton's 7th Rule podcast, The Delta Flyers', hosted by Voyager stars Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeil. There's also the D-Con Chamber podcast, hosted by Enterprise stars Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer. There's a podcast for everyone and thanks to Gates McFadden, that remains true.

Each of the above podcasts serve a unique purpose. The 7th Rule talks a lot about Deep Space Nine, among other current Trek-topics. The Delta Flyers was an episode review podcast built around Voyager but shifted ears to Deep Space Nine after Voyager ended. The D-Con Chamber podcast focuses more on Star Trek stars, while being morer of a "late-night show" for Trek fans.

For McFadden, her InvestiGates podcast focuses less on Star Trek and more on the people who make Star Trek possible. Over the years, she's dived deep into the personal lives of many Trek actors and actresses and now, she'll do it again with a third season. She's already sat down with Original Series star William Shatner, as well as numerous co-stars from her series, The Next Generation. Among those names include LeVar Burton, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, Denise Crosby, and Wil Wheaton.

She's also in interviewed Deep Space Nines' Nana Visitor, Michael Dorna, and series guest-star John de Lancie. She's also hopped over to more modern Trek, with Voyager and Prodigy lead Kate Mulgrew, over to Lower Decks with Tawny Newsome, and around to Strange New Worlds' leading man Anson Mount.

Now she'll do it again. Her third season lineup, according to TrekMovie.com, will include Discovery's Sonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jones, and David Ajala. She'll also talk to more from Strange New Worlds with Ethan Peck and Jess Bush. Picard, a show that Gates was on, will get some more names with Michelle Hurd and Todd Staswick.

Finally, some Enterprise love will be had, as D-Con Chamber co-host Trinneer will appear on Gates' show. There are likely more names yet to be announced for the third season of the show, so stay tuned.
