Created by Terry Nation and broadcast on the BBC from 1978 to 1981, it followed a ragtag group of rebels taking on a ruthless authoritarian government that controlled the galaxy. Gritty, morally complex and frequently brilliant. Federation Strike covers it from start to finish. Every episode, every season, every twist. Hosting the show are Garry, watching Blake's 7 for the very first time, and Adam, a lifelong fan who has seen it all many times over. Between them, you get two very different perspectives on the same show, and that gap is where most of the fun happens. New episodes drop weekly throughout each season.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-11T16:20:09.087342+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/federation-strike-a-journey-through-blake-s-7-7175283"},"episode":{"title":"A:08: Duel: Blake and Travis Go Head-to-Head!","slug":"a-08-duel-blake-and-travis-go-head-to-head","published_at":"2025-03-05T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/federation-strike-a-journey-through-blake-s-7-7175283/a-08-duel-blake-and-travis-go-head-to-head","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/federation-strike-a-journey-through-blake-s-7-7175283","url":"https://federation-strike.captivate.fm/episode/series-a-08","audio_url":"https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/835522f1-44c3-423f-a5af-43ff28a5acc9/FS-S01-E08.mp3","summary":"Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7! Diving into \"Duel,\" we're exploring the intense showdown between Blake and Travis that takes this episode to another level. While the plot itself is pretty straightforward, it does a great job of highlighting the contrasting natures of our main characters. Blake's protective instincts clash with Travis's ruthless pursuit, showing us that even in the face of danger, there's depth to their motivations. We also delve into the absence of Dudley Simpson's iconic music, which leaves the episode feeling a bit off for us. Overall, does this episode move our score meter into the red or does it hold up despite its potential short comings? We're teleporting out for now!
