"Silence of the Lambs" sure is a great movie. Too bad it inspired sad attempt at psychological thriller/murder mystery/rushed nightmare "Field of Fire", in which Ezri is thrust into the Clarisse role and her memories take on the part of the worst Hannibal Lechter ever. After that, there's a lot of bad feelings and no easy answers when Odo has to face the fact that his friends might like him but still aren't cool with most other changelings in "Chimera".
Also this week: jumping to conclusions, Kira/Odo fanfic, and a lengthy actor tangent.
Note: Ames has some minor sound issues at the start of the episode. We promise they're cleared up within a few minutes.

Episode 227: Charles Entertainment Bigotry

It’s the new Unreliable Narrator podcast!  Jenny Gutbezahl, Brian Rust, and Jacquelyn Weatherbee from “Planet of Warrior-Bunnies” read scenes from Carl’s gritty nostalgia reboot “Goofus v. Gallant: Dawn of Niceness.”  Also Jenny shares memories of performing at the now-defunct Factory Theatre, Brian waxes on the majesty of the mullet, and Jacquelyn pitches a new role for shy high school theater kids.

Apologies for the uneven sound quality, we had to go to the backup mic for much of the recording.

UNTG #2--All The Way Off A Cliff

Flat Earth Theatre's A. Lehrmitt has forged the newly adapted radio play Lovecraft's Tales Outside Time & Space, presenting variations of four of Lovecraft's stories that encounter alternate dimensions full of terrors literally out of this world. From meeting extraterrestrial dimension-hoppers to losing oneself outside time and space, one can travel too far into the unknown, and the journey back may prove the ultimate, and most horrible, test.

The Whisperer in Darkness features Justin Hicks as Albert Wilmarth, Karen Sarao as Helen Akeley, Kristen Heider as the Mi-Go, James Rossi as B-67, and Liz Salazar as Noyes.

The Dreams in the Witch House features Melissa de Jesus as Clara Gilman, Kathleen C. Lewis as Fran Elwood, Marty Mason as Keziah Mason, Jake Scaltreto as Nyarlathotep, and Kristen Heider as the woman.

The Shadow out of Time features Jake Scaltreto as Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, James Hayward as Wingate Peaslee, Kristen Heider as Dr. Rutherford, James Rossi as Dr. Marsh, and Chris Chiampa as Nug-Soth and the Australian miner.

Through the Gates of the Silver Key features Andy Hicks as Ernest B. Aspinwall, Kristen Heider as Phillipa Ward, Matthew Zahnzinger as Etienne-Laurent de Marigny, Liz Salazar as Swami Chandraputra, Chris Larson as Randolph Carter, Justin Hicks as 'Umr at-Tawil, and Marty Mason as Yog-Sothoth.

Sounds effects were designed by Kype Lampe and James Rossi, recorded and mixed by Panic Attack Studios. The performance was directed by Liz Salazar. Lovecraft's Tales Outside Time & Space was first performed live on October 15th, 2016 at Comicazi in Somerville, Massachusetts with an encore performance on October 22nd at Pandemonium Books & Games in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

"Hurst Of Hurstcoat" written by Elizabeth Salazar SEASON 11

Everyone welcome! Welcome to A Star to Steer Her By's 200th Episode spectacular! We've come a long way and we're honestly more than a little amazed to be here! Thank you to all who've joined us!
For our big 200 we are eschewing the usual procedure and calling on some former guests to join us for a few rounds of "Trek" trivia before making them have some fun with Shakespeare! It's a bit of a long one, but I promise it is a grand old time from start to finish! So get a warm drink (or cold if you're listening to this in the future and it's Summer), settle in, and join us for some good fun!
[Note: spoilers for Discovery S.3 somewhere around the last ten minutes of the episode or so]

Episode 200: A Self-Indulgent Spectacular

New episodes every Thursday!

Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. 

Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary.

Mature Content!
