Untold stories from questionable POVs

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

If Khan has set the precedent for podcast dramas (i.e. elaborating on the tales of controversial figures), the next thing that comes to mind (for me, anyway) is of course Kodos and Tarsus IV. (Yes, I know Drastic Measures already covered it.)

Who else's story could be explored in the same manner?

Audio dramas you'd enjoy hearing

Now that the Khan audio drama is well on its way, what other stories would make a good audio drama? One advantage is that like animation, you could hire a sound-alike for actors who cannot appear, without them having to resemble the original actor. A series of captain's logs could work.

How is this thread different from the one you linked?

I didn't want to bump it 5 months later.

But I'm focusing on the question not so much of what we want to see next, as what would be along the same lines as Khan if that's the direction drama podcasts are going?

So like...re-examining "bad guys"?

Let me be the first to say: Gul Skrain Dukat audiodrama!

Not sure if it's the kind of thing you mean, but I'd like a story about a pre-warp civilization, like the one from "Pen Pals", who are facing some kind of catastrophe. They somehow realise there's a Federation ship in their system, and also become aware that the Picard-like captain will fly off and leave them to die because of the Prime Directive.

So their only hope is to build a spaceship and launch it before the Starfleet vessel leaves, but they're basically at a medieval tech level, so they've got to put together the most ramshackle deathtrap piece of crap as fast as they can and somehow launch it into space - with someone aboard - to force the Feds to act.

Basically I'd like any story that inverts a TNG Prime Directive plot to be entirely from the POV of pre-warp people getting screwed over by 24th century Starfleet's "ethics".
