Welcome to Gene-ology, where we explore the earliest TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek!

It's a Gene-ology with an interesting twist: it may be another script for Wrangler, the 1960 western series Gene created, but it didn't reach the screen in this form.  We start the process of asking what changed and why - though we're able to take some educated guesses.

Join us as we dig into the Roddenberry archives and discuss how Gene’s early writing shaped the groundbreaking worlds he would later bring to our screens.

Hosted by Earl Green and Ashley Thomas

Guest starring Cody Banning as Pitcairn and John Hall as Ken Enlow
