Gene-ology 93 - The Rydecker Case

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

There are a million stories in the Naked City, and Gene Roddenberry told just one of them - but it was an unusual specimen for 1962 prime time, a story that decisively put women, including some with future involvement in Star Trek, at the forefront of a complex, challenging story.

Hosted by Earl Green & Ashley Thomas
