I think they do read the comments in these videos and if it’s honest feedback they’re actually listening and trying to improve the show. It seems Dom is willing to learn and grow as an interviewer which is more than can be said for quite a few other YT hosts on other shows which never consider their audience’s reaction and don’t frankly care as long as the clicks keep coming in. This show has a lot of potential in it and there is still a very large audience of ST fans from the past 60 years who have yet to discover it.

Erica and Mark are delightful as well and a great addition to the team. Enterprise was my introduction to Star Trek and I learnt to love every other Trek show ever since.

I take issue with people who call LeVar Burton a "national treasure". He's a world treasure. Nay, a galactic gem. What this simple human performer has achieved in a generation is the most meaningful exploration of character and personhood in every level of development. He taught us how to read, placed a big heavy painful history book in front of us and made us read it, and then, he took our hand, and guided our gaze upward, and through his talents as an actor breathed life into a person who may not exist in this reality, but does somewhere out there. He taught us we can see without eyes, and we can be good, even with a bad hand. LeVar Burton the actor, the public persona, the human being, and the characters he portrays are all foundations of the 21st century. Without him, and the team of people who brought him to our view, this world would be a much bleaker place. He is a light. Star Trek has a habit of turning everyday shmucks in Hollywood into not just icons, but literal life. savers.

LeVar was a real stand out in Picard. Just, seriously powerhouse stuff. The pleading to Lore especially. As an audience member - I felt that moment right there in the room. It wasn't just a rompy adventure, it slammed into a real "oh ****, yeah Geordie lost his best friend" - amazing work.

I'm NOT an audio podcast person. That being said, I couldn't wait to see what Levar was going to choose for Connor's desert island! He's a gentle soul and a genuine human being.

As a white male teenager military brat when 'Roots' came out, it changed my life. It was like a tsunami. So POWERFUL. Wrenching and emotional. Mr. Burton, you have changed the world. My parents had already taught us kids that we are all the same, but, in society, not equal. My parents thought that we should all be equal. Imagine that. 'Roots' was/is a force of nature that was bold that changed everything. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing a shining light into the world, Geordi. Kunta Kinte. And, Star Trek.

For those that have found Dom annoying (and I mean, honestly, who hasn't .... :) the real measure of success is how comfortable the guests feel, and this of course will be related to how they are treated. The episode with Jimmy Darren set a new high bar of "this guest is having such a great time with Connor and Dom, he doesn't want to leave".

This was a good show and a good hour or so but I would never want to really be around some of these people. Look at Patrick Stewart, what an absolute weirdo clown of a man. He was the breath behind STP season 1&2. Levar Burton has done some great scripted things and I grew up on reading rainbow but in real life, these Hollywood weirdos are Hollywood weirdos.

Wow... this interview is magical. Levar Burton is a true television legend. When the initial publicity for TNG hit the British media (just days before the series premiered over here), I remember being amazed to see that Levar Burton was in the cast. A decade before, Roots literally stopped the planet. Shuttlepod Crew - thank you for this fascinating interview and all the others. Each one has been special. Live long and podcast 🖖🏽

I have always been a Star Trek fan, from watching reruns of TOS with my parents as a kid, to TNG, to DS9 and Voyager and beyond. Geordi was always one of my favorite characters because I always found him to be one of the most relatable, but even that is not the main reason why I will always love and respect LeVar Burton the way I do. The reason I hold Mr. Burton in such high regard is because I was a child growing up in the 1980s who loved to read. My parents always encouraged us to read whatever we could and we had shelves and shelves of books, but even so, Reading Rainbow exposed us to so many amazing stories that we wouldn't have heard or known about otherwise. Mr. Burton and Reading Rainbow helped shape my childhood in the most wonderful way, and for that, I will always be profoundly grateful...but you don't have to take my word for it. :) Thank you, LeVar Burton, and we'll see you next time.

This was a _fantastic_ chat with LeVar Burton - he really is a gem and so intensely focused on all of the projects he touches. You can tell he considers his varied work a vocation and calling to uplift, educate, and inspire.

Thank you Mr. Burton and Shuttlepod show. 1:06:48 Mr. Burton, you are speaking of about why Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek. He envisioned humanity overcoming these darker tendencies you spoke of and showing us a world we can all achieve just by being the better part of us. I applaud you, sir. Thank you!

"he runs a beautiful room, which is an artform" - brilliant words

Love this one. I deeply appreciate how Mr Burton expressed having imposter syndrome. It can be so debilitating at times. Hearing from someone with his stature is reassuring to someone still working at breaking into the industry (illustrator/writer). Also love the conversation on the Noetic Sciences and hearing about the concerns for humanity. I remember years ago (as a big Star Trek fan in all incarnations) wondering how the economy in such a culture would work. After pondering this for decades, I came across the Resource Based Economy (RBE) model. This economic model is, imo, the closest to what Star Trek represented. At it's core, famine and greed cannot exist. Nothing can stop an idea who's time has come. Love the real talk on the Shuttle Pod Show , guys. Thank you. Cheers from the Great White North ( Ku lu ku ku, ku lu ku kuuu....eh). Bob.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I enjoy the relaxed conversation style of the interviews. It allows a glimpse into the person the actor is rather than just the characters they played. Keep up the great work.

I grew up watching Avant Garde films, additionally I remember early pod cast type shows where this format was the norm. I image there was so technical difficulty and the producer's pulled an artistic rabbit out of the hat and gave us this. Radio is so powerful, it allows us to sink into someone's voice and cadence. Here the story became chief and not the set, the blinking, lighting, ect. This was the best of both worlds. Thank for for bringing on Mr. Burton.

Belated gratitude and love for this episode. Levar is a true inspiration to the human race. Was a joy to sit down and listen to the show. It would have been nice to have had a "taped" show for visual realism for when people are laughing and getting along. There is such a joy to witness the live expressions from people we admire and adore. But I was still in tears of happiness to hear this audio rendition.

Just discovered The Shuttlepod show. LeVar Burton my first listen. I'm hooked.

This is a phenomenal interview, thank u guys so much xxx

An amazing interview this one guys; thank you so much to everyone involved. The lack of video wasn’t a dealbreaker for me, in fact I’d go as far as to say it made for an interesting, entertaining experience allowing us the audience to really focus on the words, stories & amiable interactions between the participants. Such a great guest this week, probably my favourite so far in truth given LeVar’s breadth, talent &life experience. God, that laugh, I could listen to it all night, Dom too; I was in stitches at some points. Keep on doing what you’re doing guys & gals, you’re finding your stride now for sure. Hope to see the lovely Erica in the next episode, take care 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm so glad you decided to share the audio of such a FANTASTIC conversation with us!! Thank you !!! ❤❤❤

Subscribed. Loving this series. Very well put together. Dominic is right, leVar would be a Sir if he was british for contributions to dramatic arts. I'm british and Dominic during his early days of his career was a bit of a trail blazer himself. In the UK, He used to be involved in 'Desmonds' which was one of the firsts in UK TV where it was led by a predominately African-Carribean cast in a time where british TV still stereotyped African-Carribean actors. Great series in itself.

I haven't even finished watching/listening to this episode and I know this is one of my favs. There's something about radio (which I guess this episode was) that makes it more intimate. It also occurred to me that, even though your not getting a lot of views, these interviews are no doubt Star Trek essentials for understanding the Trek universe and they are likely to be quoted by professional historians at some point in the future. I have a recording of my great grandmother from an early radio broadcast (very early) and I can imagine the great grandchildren of these actors listening to these interviews knowing this is a real perspective on their grandparents lives, it contextualises their history. It's great stuff, a legacy really.

Geordi was and is still a major inspiration for me. Great show

Love LeVar! One of the true greats. I grew up with Reading Rainbow in the 80s and then Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The lack of video but having still pictures reminds me of watching Classic Doctor Who Reconstructions of missing episodes from the 60s. Took a second to get used to it but it’s totally cool. Love what you guys do regardless and wouldn’t miss an ep with LeVar for the world.

this was one of the best shuttlepods so far

Every new episode that comes out becomes my new favorite. You guys are amazing, and what you’re giving us with these amazing moments with the people behind the characters we love, has been the highlight of my Sundays. Like Levar said, all of you do important work. 😊

RE the barrel of whisky mentioned at 18:20.......... I saw that barrel during a distillery tour at Oban, on the west coast of Scotland. They were very proud of it. 😊🥃

43:19 I agree with LeVar's story here...even if I can't get a pic with a celeb during a meet & greet, yes I would prefer to make that 60 second or so connection with them. They'll likely forget me, but I won't forget meeting them and thanking them for doing what they do.

Currently listening to this. Whatever the reasons are for not having video, I’m still grateful for the opportunity to hear LeVar being interviewed. The slideshow of BTS photos is great and goes some way to elevating the voice only to somewhere in between. What I do get is that the interview ‘feels’ a little more relaxed. There’s more laughter, more life, just more of everything in the voices. Maybe it’s the relief of pressure from being on camera…? Tbh, if there were future episodes with interview subjects who are happy interviewing but don’t want to be on camera, I’d be really happy for the chance to have it in this format again. I’d rather hear an interview than know you can’t release just because there’s no video…good jobs guys - and missing Erica’s presence too!

Okay . . . am I the only person who doesn't know the special circumstances necessitating this still shot format?! This is Levar (he and Whoopi were the biggest stars onboarded to TNG, Living Legend, Black history personified) Burton! Explanation kindly requested. 😊

I was a bit confused at first as to why this format, but after listening to this amazing podcast I felt like I was there. It really pulls you in as it goes on. I understand now why audio only this time, great job !!!

Levar bloody spell check

Wonderful. I don’t have as much time to listen lately and usually put on episodes while trying to catch up with work at home. Typically there’s the beginning section where you’re getting into the conversation, but by the middle of the episode I am so taken with what I’m hearing that all I can think about is how will I remember all of the things I want to comment on. I also remember being transfixed like the rest of the nation watching roots. I also remember seeing McQueen’s last film but don’t recall Burton’s role, but the last time I saw it was at the theatre when it came out. I loved hearing Levars thoughts about Fred Roger and what he meant and I appreciated his perspectives on feeling like an imposter, considering all he’s done. On the other hand while I love learning about and always striving for peace in this life, and facing life with optimism when we can, as a scientist I can’t help but see noetics as more pseudoscience. I mean no offense to anyone but in my humble opinion the best way forward is always through learning and making decisions based on the scientific method and the data available. Thank you all, and Levar, for such a wonderful discussion.

Mr. BURTON, you live on in the hearts of all men. You have been a part of my life from my first memories to right now

This was such a good episode! Big thanks to everyone involved!

wonderful episode to just listen to. also great pics. cheers The Shuttlepod Show!

What a wonderful interview. LeVar has touched so many lives in various mediums. as s kid while I was just out of the Reading Rainbow demo I did watch with my little sister and hearing LeVar and the crew discuss brought back great memories. LeVar Burton is a treasure and there are not enough words to describe all he has done. Thank you all for yet another enjoyable podcast and hope Erica is back soon

What a beautiful person and a personal hero. This was a wonderful episode and I am so thankful to hear it. To see him in the ST universe was wonderful. I am in awe of his body of work from Roots, to TNG and beyond, and even Reading Rainbow. He is so wonderful and I truly enjoyed this interview. Thank you so very much.

Levar, this tiny piece of Technology is...EATING MY BRAIN!!! AND MY LIFE!!!

Slide show was perfect. Well done. 🦋

Another great episode. Love how the guests seem so relaxed and just enjoying the conversation. Fabulous stuff.

As a younger man and a late fan I found Geordi's character to be the most relatable. I'm no engineer, or anything fancy, but I am in charge a lot at work, seeing Geordi work his way up to chief and being challenged by people "under" him and having trouble managing Barclay and genuinely trying to help instead of ignoring him. Really made me feel like I'm not failing I'm just going through the process. The process takes time, and you need to be patient. Even with people like Barclay.

Connor, Dom and Mark - congrats on another awesome episode! Format was a little different than usual but not unwelcome in the slightest, your hard work putting it out anyways despite the constraints (which are nobodies business but your own) is greatly appreciated. To me personally, having just audio was a nice of way of getting to solely focus on everyone's voice and feel a bit more immersed in the overall experience. (C'mon people, you gotta admit the seagull pictures during trivia were pretty dang funny!) LeVar was an absolutely lovely guest, very well spoken and warm. He truly comes off like such a super cool guy, in every respect. I had no idea he started the business so young, it's good to know he had someone looking out for him, that's sadly not the case for alot of young actors. Quite enjoyed hearing him discuss his love of reading and all the advocacy and positive impact he's had in regards to literacy, you could really hear it in his voice that it's something that continues to mean a great deal to him. Always warms my heart whenever Connor and Dom talk with the guest about how much pride they all have in being a part of Trek. It's a legacy that'll last a lifetime, that's for sure. All n all, another wonderful episode, I can't wait to see what next week has in store! Happy Shuttlepod Sunday everyone! 😊🖖💚🍃

i think i said this before, but what i love about the shuttlepod show, is that it brings us fans closer to the stars we love, just listening and feeling emotions from your guests, is so binding and connecting

Just like Jimmy Daren, Levar has one of them voices where he could read a breakfast menu to you and you would be drawn in and listen to everything he says.

That was Great! Thanks!

You did great, Dom. Listening, lots of heart and humor. Well done, mate. ;) Great show.

Thank you for another wonderful conversation.

This video is just filled from start to finish with beautiful photos. Kudos to the photographer. And a big shout out to the editor. You did such a fantastic job.

I often just listen to the show while mowing my lawn or grocery shopping. Yesterday's show was as good as previous shows even more so because levar burton is a national treasure. I grew up watching g TNG and reading rainbow. This interview was great, the pictures actually made it interesting because who ever arranged them did a great job pairing them up with what was going on in the audio. Great show, great interview, great team behind the scenes!

Loved the interview and appreciate how much extra work it was for whoever put that slideshow together. Should have just said it was a technical issue. I think everyone would have accepted that on face value.
