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":"B04: Horizon: Blake Captured and Avon Considers a Mutinous Escape","slug":"b04-horizon-blake-captured-and-avon-considers-a-mutinous-escape","published_at":"2026-04-22T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/federation-strike-a-journey-through-blake-s-7-7175283/b04-horizon-blake-captured-and-avon-considers-a-mutinous-escape","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/federation-strike-a-journey-through-blake-s-7-7175283","url":"https://federation-strike.captivate.fm/episode/b04-horizon-avon-considers-a-mutinous-escape-with-the-liberator","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/7668fd4e-66e3-41bb-ad66-09ed2990e039.mp3","summary":"Teleporting in... welcome to Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7! Hey, Blake's 7 fans, and thank you for tuning in for our latest episode and our review of Horizon. Everybody's knackered. The Liberator crew are running on fumes, tempers are fraying, and Blake still wants to go and poke his nose into an uncharted planet. Classic Blake. Written by Allan Prior in his first script for Blake's 7, it's not the show at its most spectacular, but it's got a quiet confidence to it. A nicely paced story about a colonial ruler being freed from Federation control while the crew are forced into hard labour. All of them except Avon, who has to decide whether to take the Liberator and disappear into space or go back for the rest of them. This scene stopped Garry dead in his tracks. Amazing.
