Captain's Logs

Weekday evenings, in universe order

Star Trek taken seriously and in timeline order — every episode, every film, from the twenty-second century forward. Thara and Elias review, argue, and score each entry as the archive grows. Listener mail is read on air and answered, sometimes correctly.

About

Andrew Iver is a writer, archivist, and broadcaster working out of San Tan Valley, Arizona. With Nathan King he co-authored The Siege of Bethulia, a retelling of the Book of Judith. He hosts The Morning Brief with Deanna, produces Captain's Logs with Thara and Elias, and draws the daily Mugwoods comic, which he signs, as he signs everything, "A. Iver."

He keeps meticulous records, prefers his coffee as raktajino, and answers listener mail on air. Corrections are logged, filed, and — when warranted — conceded.

The Mugwoods

A daily comic about a family, a ward, and the Book of Mormon, drawn and signed by A. Iver. New strips every morning on Instagram.
