About — Planetary Union Network

Planetary Union Network is THE original and official podcast for The Orville, airing on HULU.

Launching in unison with the U.S. broadcast of The Orville, Planetary Union Network — or PUNcast — offers news, views, reviews, and interviews relating to the television show created by Seth MacFarlane.

New episodes of Planetary Union Network: The Official The Orville Podcast are generally produced weekly during the airing of new episodes of The Orville in the U.S. and sporadically (usually monthly) during the television show's off-season.

The PUNcast offers a unique listening experience for fans of The Orville with special interviews of guests directly related to the sci-fi television show — from cast members and directors to composers, VFX supervisors, costume designers, and science consultants.

With Season 4 written and Hulu greenlit, PUNcast continues to be your home base for all things Orville as the USS Orville prepares for its next voyage.

Your Hosts

Joe Quickle

Co-Host

Joe got started in sci-fi fandom during the original theatrical run of Return of the Jedi, then became fascinated with the syndicated run of Star Trek TOS. When not in front of the mic or working behind the scenes for Planetary Union Network, he loves to travel with his wife Megan — and can be found having deep philosophical conversations with her about Star Wars as it relates to life. Joe is also an accomplished musician and audiophile, and a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Michael May

Co-Host

Michael is a prolific podcaster and a much less prolific writer of comics (and bios). He lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota with his wife, son, and a dog named after a Star Wars character.
