About this listen

Dan is joined by writer, producer, and director Brannon Braga!


Brannon has been a dream guest since the podcast began, so this was an absolute thrill to finally be able to have him on the show!


We chat about the importance of communication, the joys of collaboration, the solitary mystique of writing, working in solitude, initially wanting to be an actor, trading the headshots in for a typewriter, getting the bug to write for the masses, the profound impact of his school teacher, connecting writing with shows like The Twilight Zone, getting an internship on Star Trek, the open submission policy, being on a week to week contract, the chaos of writing for television, looking back on perceived bad episodes, fame, compliments, becoming burnout, stepping away, the end of Trek, jumping onto 24, the fear of directing, always questioning your ability, trusting your brain, finding focus with others, the talent of others, Bob Trevino Likes It, taking an interest, success not happening in a vacuum, The Orville, the shared history of Star Trek, and a whole lot more!
