WeeklyTrek: A TrekCore Star Trek News Podcast

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by legendary Star Trek designer Doug Drexler for a supplemental interview special.

Doug Drexler is one of Star Trek's true renaissance figures — an Oscar, Emmy, and BAFTA-winning artist whose career has spanned makeup, design, illustration, and visual effects across nearly every corner of the Star Trek universe. A lifelong fan who once co-owned New York's famed Federation Trading Post before crossing over to work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and multiple feature films, Drexler has left his creative fingerprints on everything from the NX-01 to the 26th-century Enterprise-J.

In this interview, he joins WeeklyTrek to discuss the Kickstarter for Trek Star: The Doug Drexler Documentary that aims to tell the story of his life and career. In the interview, we reflect on Doug's journey from fan to creator, the realities of working inside the thing you love, and what fans rarely see about the collaborative artistry that brings Star Trek to life.
