The Infinite Thread Part 1

There’s been a thought knocking around the back of my head that I should bring back the forums, but comments on MCS are so low velocity that having an entire section just for forums seems like over kill.  I think I’m going to steal an idea from freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ and just make a single post where everyone can comment whatever nonsense comes to their mind and even add images (I think?  someone other than me should test this out on this post).  I’ll close the old one and open a new one when it gets to a certain number (TBD) of comments.

So the goal is to just comment and talk about whatever the fuck you want to talk about here.  I’ll start it off with a comment about a new website that I launched over lunch.

Cop Steals Woman’s Nude Photos During Traffic Stop

More On This – Cop Steals Woman’s Nude Photos During Traffic Stop (watchaeor.com)

A 24-year old Missouri woman filed a $25,000 lawsuit Friday calling a local cop “a sexual voyeur and predator of the worst kind,” over what she said was a traffic stop that turned into an invasion of privacy. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are identified only as Jane and John Doe, a married couple living in Florissant, who have several children. They sued the Florissant Police Department and an officer identified only as “Joe Smith,” whose true identity they do not know, and who the department says is no longer employed as a police officer. The lawsuit alleges that the officer abused his position of authority to gain access to private and intimate images, which he then illegally copied. The case has sparked outrage, with calls for immediate changes in police oversight and accountability to prevent such misconduct. This shocking incident has brought increased attention to privacy violations and abuse of power within law enforcement.

Robert Petkoff Interview With StarTrekBookClub.com

This conversation is my first branch out from talking to Star Trek authors, this week I spoke to Robert Petkoff!  He’s narrated over 30 Trek books and has done dozens upon dozens of audio books not related to Trek.  You may notice his glorious mustache that he has in place for a role that he’s playing in a production of Moulin Rouge.

Our conversation starts with a talk about the work he does that’s outside of audio book narration, though he does mention that he just wrapped up his work on narrating Una McCormick’s upcoming book Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Asylum.  He talks about his “on the road” setup for when he’s doing duration with some good information for those of you that are audio nerds.

We talk about his process for narration, which includes some fun discussions on his he isn’t an impersonator, but that there are small changes that can be made for different characters that give a great indication about who’s saying what.

We have a discussion about how A.I. is super useful for current narrators, but has the capability to end the careers of upcoming narrators before they can even get started.  Is there going to be a marketplace for human narrators when something like Amazon Kindle can do it automatically for us?

We also talk about narrating for TOS Kirk vs narrating for SNW Kirk.

Robert Petkoff can be found on his website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
