OCTOBER 14, 2022 - If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the people embodying your favorite Star Trek characters beyond the Q&A you’re used to at conventions, you need to know about Gates McFadden’s podcast.

Actually, you might already know about Gates McFadden InvestiGates: Who Do You Think You Are? as our own Alison Pitt talked with Gates about it and other stuff last year. The first season is done, in which McFadden talked with several of her friends and colleagues from Star Trek: The Next Generation and other Trek shows, and TrekMovie has announced that there will be a second season.

Season two of InvestiGates will include interviews with William Shatner, Kate Mulgrew, Anson Mount, Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, John Billingsley, and others.

McFadden dives deep into her guests’ backgrounds, youth, families, and shared experiences in what amount to as much intimate conversations as interviews.

 Gates McFadden InvestiGates: Who Do You Think You Are? is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Head over to TrekMovie for more on season two, including a video from Gates McFadden wearing a cool hat. You’ll even find out how many merit badges she earned in the Girl Scouts….
