Welcome to Federation Strike - A Journey Through Blake's 7 - What to Expect
If you’re a die-hard Blake’s 7 fan or just setting foot aboard the Liberator for the first time, Federation Strike is your perfect companion through this cult sci-fi classic. Every week, Garry and Adam take a deep dive into each episode—breaking down the stories, the characters, and even the gloriously wobbly special effects (which, let’s be honest, are half the charm).
We’re tackling the series from Series A, Episode 1 The Way Back through to the show's legendary finale, complete with episode reviews, rankings, and deep-dive discussions. But that’s not all—expect special bonus episodes, including full series retrospectives and exclusive interviews with the masterminds behind the Blake’s 7 Blu-ray box sets.
New episodes drop every week within each season (each of our seasons lines up with the Blake's 7 Blu-Ray sets), so find us on your favourite podcast app and follow @blakes7podcast on Bluesky and X (Twitter).
Whether you’ve sworn allegiance to the Federation or are fighting the system, we’d love to have you along for the journey. The rebellion starts here!
