I start off this week’s podcast with some announcements.  The first one is about sponsering the podcast for only $5.00!  I have information on this on the main web site and in the podcast notes section.  Hopefully some of you will take advantage of this and help support the show.  Costs have gone up some lately and I am trying to compensate for it.  I also talk briefly about the new daily picture blog I started this past week.  It’s called the “Babe & Hunks of Sci-Fi & Fantasy.” Almost daily I will be posting a new and tasteful picture of a lovely lady or even a hunk occasionally from the worlds of Sci-Fi & Fantasy entertainment.  I think this will be a fun thing to do.  Feel free to email me your pics and ideas for selections I should consider.  I also include another Sci-Fi TV theme song from a much older series this time that I enjoy.  Then it’s on to the main subject, the interview with Chonastock!

I had a chance to chat with these ladies for about 45 minutes the other evening.  They are from Australia and named Charis and Ona.  I discovered they have done some amazing Trek photos in their own “Red shirt” costumes as seen on the original series.  They discussed the costuming, makeup, and setting for the pictures.  They also share their “Star Trek” knowledge and interests as well as other things are in to.  It was a lot of fun to talk to them.  It was interesting to find out that they are not really professional models and just sort of do this for fun.  You can view all of these photos and their other work over at Deviant Art.  Click HERE to see what they have been up to.

I wrap up this week’s podcast with a special song from Rick moyer once again about “Star Trek Uniforms.”  Thanks as always Rick for that!  Next week’s podcast will be covering the TNG episode, “Tapestry.”  I goofed on the end of the podcast and said it would be a “Voyager” podcast.  But I just did one of those!  Silly me!  Anyway, hope you enjoyed this special podcast interview show and I will talk to you again next week!
