This week on Strange New Pod, Erik and Emcee sit down with the multi-talented Bruce Horak for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation about his latest project, Boldly Going , a new documentary currently funding on Indiegogo.

Bruce shares the deeply personal story behind the film and what it means to boldly go, both as an artist and as someone who is legally blind.

The crew also dives into Bruce's passion for portrait painting, his powerful connections with fans through his art, and what it was like bringing the beloved character Hemmer to life on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. From creative expression to the challenges and triumphs of accessibility in the arts, this is a can't-miss episode.
