261: Armin Shimerman Part 2 ("Anteaus") 25.07.2024

Armin Shimerman has always been an integral part of Stargate canon as one of the Nox, and as a sci-fi fan in his own right he understands how important it is for humanity to explore big ideas.

252: Gildart Jackson ("Janus") 04.07.2024

249: Ben Browder ("Cameron Mitchell") 28.06.2024

No one can imagine stepping into a series nine years in to fill the shoes of its lead.

He joins us to discuss those memories as well as crossing the finish line in Antarctica!

248: Ray Xifo ("Ohper" the Nox) 25.06.2024

We don't know what Stargate mythology would be without the Four Great Races, and one of those Races, the Nox, was represented early on in the show's run in an episode of the same name.

242: N. John Smith (Executive Producer) 10.06.2024

For nearly every season of Stargate on television, Norman John Smith was quietly working away to make sure production never stopped moving on the franchise. We are proud to host the executive producer on our show and to hear stories from making SG-1, Atlantis and Universe on-time and on-budget -- as well as the story for how the Continuum Arctic shoot became a reality!

241: Lynn Smith (Location Manager) 07.06.2024

From Season Two to Season Six of Stargate SG-1 Lynn Smith served as Location Manager for the series.

Welcome to Season Four! It has been sixteen months since we sat down with GateWorld's Darren Sumner and Hollywood Marketing Veteran Jenny Stiven to specifically discuss the state of Stargate, and the industry has experienced a great deal of action since then.

235: Kendall Cross ("Julia Donovan") 04.01.2024

What if word of the Stargate program got out? That was a theme through the show, and Kendall Cross as "Julia Donovan" gave it a good stab. We are proud to welcome her to Dial the Gate to tell her story and take questions LIVE, while not breaking her Pentagon NDA!
