CLL #41 - Cultural Comparisons

Chris and Jonathan go back to the roots of Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers when the episode topics were more of a compare and contrast format between Star Wars and Star Trek. What makes a leader? Chris put together a fantastic dissection of the various leadership styles we see in Star Trek and Star Wars. Using several Star Trek captains as examples Chris breaks down each one’s unique style of leadership, the similarities they share, and more. Then the discussion turns to the leadership styles of the core Star Wars characters that served in leadership roles.

CLL 36 - Eclipses, Cons & Discovery

On episode 35 of CLL, Jonathan is joined by John Ambrose from the Geek News Now writing team. Ambrose has been a staff writer for GNN for just about one year and he recently published his 100th article for the site. Ambrose has a lot of available spaces on his geeky bingo card and is launching a new project called “An Old Geek Watches” where he tries to catch up on the geeky things in media that he’s missed up to this point in his life. He’s starting to watch Star Trek from the very beginning to start to fill in those gaps. Jonathan wanted to bring Ambrose on to answer his questions about Trek and to find out what his awareness of the franchise consists of.

CLL 33 - News Blitz

CLL #32 - Past/Future Tense

Captains’ Logs and Lightsabers Podcast is back for its final episode of 2023 and we take a look in the rear view mirror at our favorite Star Trek and Star Wars projects throughout the year. Jonathan waxes poetic about a video game, Chris and Jonathan rehash their adoration for Picard Season 3, and more! The hosts also mention some of the things they’re looking forward to in 2024 from both franchises, despite an overall lack of information about what’s to come from either franchise. Before Chris and Jonathan discuss past and future things, they catch up the audience on their personal and professional lives, Jonathan talks about seeing John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Chris and Jonathan discuss their coverage of Steel City Con for Geek News Now as well as talk about their personal experiences at the December show.

CLL #32 - Past/Future Tense

Join Chris and Jonathan, two friends from Pittsburgh who love BOTH Star Trek and Star Wars and cover both franchises in this podcast.   Many episodes begin with Fandom Frontier  where Chris and Jonathan discuss things outside of Trek and Wars. The show regularly provides coverage of Steel City Con, a pop culture convention in Pittsburgh three times per year.  Episodes cover notable news from both franchises before the topic of the week, which may be season breakdowns of shows, character studies, and more!
