Dave White Presents

    Marc Cushman guest hosts with Dave White interviewing Michael Dante. 
    Michael Dante is one of those actors you might not know by name, but you'd easily recognize him due to his long TV and film career. He's perhaps best known for starring on the Star Trek episode "Friday's Child," but he's also appeared in 30 films and 150 television shows.
    Marc and Michael discuss Michael's career that began when he was a professional baseball player before he starred in films like Winterhawk and Seven Thieves, not to mention TV shows like Get Smart, Bonanza, Maverick, and his recurring role of Crazy Horse on Custer.  Not surprisingly, Michael has a new book out from our friends at BearManor Media, From Hollywood to Michael Dante Way.  You'll enjoy this one as Michael has many funny anecdotes to share.  Listen to the interview

"Marc and I chatted for about an hour on how he got started on this huge project, how he gathered his information and pieced it all together to form some amazing volumes of work on just what it took to get the very first “Star Trek” series made.  It was no easy task and Marc has some great insights and shares some of what he put into the books during the interview.  Getting two big fans of the original series together to chat about our beloved series made the interview very fun and enjoyable."

While listening to each segment of our conversation you’ll find out things like:

  •     Was William Shatner as ‘bad’ on the set as some people have said and written?
  •     Was Star Trek really the ratings disaster that we’ve been told the past 45 + years?
  •     Who is this ‘famous’ unknown writer Lee Cronin and was he embarrassed about season three?
  •     ‘Spock’s Brain:’ Why it’s not the worst Trek ever.

Black & Cushman, Part 2: Star Trek & These are the Voyages.
Trek.fm with Mike & Max

Only months after publication, Marc Cushman’s These are the Voyages is already considered to be the most thorough insight into the making of Star Trek: The Original Series. With 500 pages dedicated to Season One and two more volumes on the way, it is quite clearly the definitive history of Gene Roddenberry’s classic show.

In our third season premiere, Mike and Max present the second half of their interview with Marc and Original Series veterans John D.F. & Mary Black. We talk about how television has changed since the sixties, what other movies and shows John has written, and what we can expect to see in the next two volumes of These are the Voyages. We also ponder what it would have been like if Spock had left after Season One.

These are the Voyages, TOS, Season One can be purchased now on Amazon.com, with Seasons Two and Three set for release in the coming months.

Black & Cushman, Part 1: Star Trek & These are the Voyages.
Trek.fm with Mike & Max

These are the Voyages has quickly become the most critically acclaimed book ever written on the making of Star Trek. It is a comprehensive look at the day-to-day operation of The Original Series, from script to air.

In the second season finale, Max and Mike are joined by the book’s author and Next Generation writer Marc Cushman, Original Series writer and producer John D.F. Black, and his wife and Original Series assistant, Mary Black. We discuss what makes this book different from others, what it was like to work on The Original Series, and how the industry has changed over the years. We also try to figure out how you can tell when a writer is lying about missing a deadline.
