Welcome to Gene-ology, a podcast by Roddenberry Entertainment that dives deep into the early TV writing works of Gene Roddenberry.

When the podcast started, we had only the scripts to cover for Gene's first TV writing job on Mr. District Attorney. But now we've gotten to see the shows themselves, we get to ask ourselves: do Gene's first TV creations improve when they're on film?

Hosted by Earl Green & Ashley Thomas
