For those of you watching Battlestar Galactica, you know about the podcast, right? If you sometimes like DVD commentary (some are good, some are bad. Okay, most are bad, these days), you may be interested. Ron Moore, executive producer of the show, has recorded podcast commentaries for most of the episodes so far. They are on the DVDs, but as each show airs, the podcasts are posted online. He records them in his home, generally, drinking Scotch and smoking. You often hear trucks dive by outside, gardeners blowing leaves, the cats and dogs run around the house. Sometimes, his wife, Mrs. Ron, joins him.
Ron Moore, by the way, was a Star Trek writer from the TNG era and worked on most of DS9. He’s responsible for a great deal of the Klingon episodes and he co-wrote the first two TNG movies. I find his podcasts entertaining and eductional. He’s pretty honest about what works for a given episode and where they fail. He’s good about avoiding spoilers, too, so you can listen to the podcasts each week and be sure that you’ll still enjoy the upcoming episodes.
