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:12: Deliverance: Space Pirates and Avon Goes God Mode (Sort Of)","slug":"a-12-deliverance-space-pirates-and-avon-goes-god-mode-sort-of","published_at":"2025-04-02T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/federation-strike-a-journey-through-blake-s-7-7175283/a-12-deliverance-space-pirates-and-avon-goes-god-mode-sort-of","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-12","audio_url":"https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/df67431f-5482-4166-94b5-005d30e7ef09/FS-S01-E12.mp3","summary":"Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7! We’re looking at the penultimate episode of Series A, and does it deliver? Avon gets a chance to strut his stuff as “Lord Avon,” and let’s just say, he doesn’t shy away from the spotlight—much to Villa's amusement. Meanwhile, Servalan and Travis are cooking up a devious plan to snag Orac, and the tension is palpable as they plot in the shadows. As we've often found with every episode so far, the performances are what make this series shine, even when the narrative feels a tad familiar. So, let’s get stuck into this important story that sets the stage for the series finale! We're teleporting out for now!
