HTP #224 - Bjo Trimble
2d ago00:36:53Tap to summarizeBjo Trimble was the lead on the original “Save Star Trek” letter-writing campaign, which helped ensure Star Trek: The Original Series lasted long enough to become the 60-year legacy it has now become. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Bjo talks about how she shares the credit with her late husband, John Trimble. She also shares her view on how Gene would enjoy current Star Trek (and how people shouldn’t be condemning it on behalf of him!). This year, Bjo will be attending STLV courtesy of the @syfysistas After that, she’ll be heading to Ticonderoga to see the original Galileo, and then to WorldCon in Anaheim. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig
Transcribe →HTP #223 - Jeri Ellsworth
Jun 400:53:36Tap to summarizeJeri Ellsworth has been widely known in retrogaming circles as a hardware wizard on platforms such as the C64, VIC-20, and ZX81. Beyond that, she's built a career on designing computer chips and systems for large companies as well as fun gaming projects. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Jeri settles in for a conversation about the current dismal state of the tech industry (my words, not hers) and how her optimism and creativity might point us geeks in the direction of better days ahead. Just as an example, she tells us about Tilt Five and her venture into Augmented Reality. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig

Mar 2700:25:11Tap to summarizeEarl Baylon is a cool guy who has mastered writing, acting, and generally is a "Hungry Trilobyte" kind of guy. He's publishing a new comic and needs your support at Wondercon! — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig
Transcribe →HTP #220 - RefashionedHippie
Mar 1100:45:43Tap to summarizeKnown across Instagram and TikTok for her scathing reviews of thrift store clothing finds (as well as ludicrous ultra-high-end offerings most of us never see!) RefashionedHippie comes to Hungry Trilobyte to give a different tale. Not too long ago, a fan reached out to her, asking about a perfume bottle of great importance, and the whole community pulled together to find it. This led the two of us to talk about community, sustainability... and Star Trek! — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig
Transcribe →HTP #219 - John Vorhaus Talks Seriously About Comedy!
Mar 100:59:15Tap to summarizeJohn Vorhaus (previously on episodes 92 , 120, and 168) is about to drop a bombshell: he's written a follow-up to his classic book, The Comic Toolbox. With his new book, The Comedy Writer's Companion, John reviews his earlier advice with the benefit of another 30 years of experience-- both professional experience as well as life experience. In this episode, John and I talk about how the two books relate to each other, how sitcoms and comedy writing is an essential skill, and how the most essential skill of all is to be true to who you are. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig
Transcribe →HTP #218 - Braxton Cosby Returns!
Feb 1500:32:53Tap to summarizeWe last saw Braxton not too long ago in Episode 207, but today he's ready to talk about a project that's a grand achievement even for him-- a two-part series based on the life of Yasuke, the historical 16th-century African Samurai. After becoming fascinated with the concept of the character, Braxton did the real-life research into who he was and found the basis for a historical fiction novel, which he then paired with a fantasy-laden comic book extension. This was the PERFECT concept for a Hungry Trilobyte chat, in which the two of us ponder how much creative freedom one can have with known real-world people, and how much available facts shape that. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig
Transcribe →HTP #217 - Bat H. Boughner III Returns
Feb 100:49:21Tap to summarizeThe last time we spoke with Bat (Episode 192) he told some great stories about his grandfather, Golden Age comic artist Howard Boughner. This time around, we have more contemporary matters to discuss: the potential sale of Warner Bros. Studios to Netflix… or potentially Paramount, or someone else. While Bat and I share the concerns of many people as to how Netflix would treat the WB library, we have more pressing concerns about the general trend of comic book movies and the weight genre movies have put on the film industry as a whole. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig

HTP #216 - Nick Edwards
Nov 2700:26:16Tap to summarizeNick Edwards is wrapping up his THIRD kickstarter, and he has a wild concept: a horror one-shot that's budget priced, but has great artwork. Nick joins Hungry Trilobyte today to talk crowdfunding, comics, and maybe a little about the afterlife? — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky & Instagram - @AaronBossig

Today he comes to Hungry Trilobyte to talk about his upcoming illustrated anthology series, Down Highways in the Dark.
