We first met Raoul on the Starfleet Academy red carpet, and this conversation gave us the chance to talk about his journey into the Star Trek universe. A Shakespearean actor with a 20-year relationship with Hamlet, Raoul joins the long tradition of stage actors who have brought classical theater roots into Star Trek. We also explore another side of his career β€” leading his Maple Blues Award-winning blues band. From Shakespeare to Starfleet, it's a conversation about storytelling, music, performance, and the many paths that lead artists into the Star Trek universe. 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6! ______________________________________________ Raoul Bhaneja: πŸ“Έ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raoulbhaneja/ πŸ“˜ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RaoulBhanejaActorMusician 🌐 website: https://www.raoulbhaneja.com/ Hamlet (Solo): https://www.raoulbhaneja.com/hamletsolo/index.php Watch Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on Paramount+ ________________ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera, Stephanie Baker & Chris Garis Logo: Dena Massenburg Music: "Poppin off the Rip" by RAGE (YouTube Audio Library) The SyFy Sistas Podcast β€” named 2025 Best All-Around Star Trek Podcast by TrekMovie Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/syfysistas Subscribe, Like, Share: linktr.ee/syfysistas Find us on The Trek Geeks Podcasts Network: trekgeeks.com FanSets β€” Our pins have character.
