The Star Trek audio drama chat is scheduled to take place in the TrekUnited chat room on Saturday March 24th, 8pm EDT. I have been blown away by the support of the principles involved who have said that they will attend. I can guarentee some surprises on the night - not just the prizes that have been pledged by the various production groups - initiatives that could hopefully help raise the public profile of these prolific and hard-working groups.

In attendance will be, in alphabetical order:

• Jeffrey Bridges of Pendant Productions, the makers of "Star Trek: Defiant"
• Eric Busby of Darker Projects, the makers of "Star Trek: The Section 31 Files"
• Jim Caswell, co-creator and Producer of Star Trek: Eras
• Tanveer Naseer, Director of Star Trek: Unity's first audio episode, currently in production
