Trek Talks 3, a marathon of Star Trek panels on YouTube to benefit the Hollywood Food Coalition, is streaming live today (Saturday, January 13th) starting at 9:45 AM (PT) and running through 6:00 PM. The event is cohosted by John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise‘s Dr. Phlox) and Bonnie Gordon (the voice of the computer on Star Trek: Prodigy), and produced by Trek Geeks, Roddenberry Podcasts, and TrekMovie.
Trek Talks 3 features interviews and panels with Star Trek luminaries from behind and in front of the camera, plus discussions with scientists, activists, and more. Panel highlights include a Star Trek: Picard season 3 reunion, a first-of-its-kind “Tuvix” panel (including Tuvix himself, Tom Wright), and a cast and crew conversation about the Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover.
