For the podcast’s 8th Anniversary year, I thought that instead of revisiting the second (Memory Alpha Random Page Game) of our Teaser Episodes. As we’ve played the far too often, we could instead revisit another subject which we recorded all the way back in 2013 as a 'Lost File'.

As the title suggests, in this episode we’re joined by Wayne and Jude (from Trekmate) to discuss how we’d individually go about improving Star Trek: Discovery. Ranging from the smallest adjustments to the most severe changes. Warning this episode contains swearing throughout, and unfortunately suffers from a few minor technical difficulties.

In this episode we’re going to explore the original Starship Design Guidelines set out by Gene Roddenberry.

In this week’s show, we discuss the many odd minor obscurities in the Star Trek universe that don’t make any sense. Including episodes which contain real alcohol, weaponry in people’s Quarters, unguarded shuttlecraft, and obvious solutions. Warning unfortunately this episode is quite loud, so I'd recommend listening to it at a lower volume.

As the title suggests in this episode, we’ll be debating whether the Federation was right in outright banning Genetic Engineering in the early 22nd Century. Whilst discussing its effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) due to its availability off world (Earth) elsewhere in the galaxy. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Genetic_engineering https://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/inconsistencies/genetic_engineering.htm

Following on from our Star Trek: First Contact film commentary, we now transition back to episode commentaries. This time around "Q Who" from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which is a bit ‘timey wimey’ considering what we’ve just watched!

In another of our "What If" hypothetical series, we theorise what would have happened if Columbia NX-02 had successfully been launched closer to its original launch date. Enjoy! https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Columbia https://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/database/history2.htm

In this lowkey (and unplanned) episode we talk about what I got for my Birthday, and how we got here. After the two previously scheduled episode idea’s (Star Trek: Bridge Commander 20th Anniversary episode and Gene Roddenberry Starship Design Guidelines episode) featuring Clive sadly fell through for various reasons. Please note that the episode unfortunately suffers from a few minor technical difficulties.

In Simon's birthday episode we delve into the first of the series, his Star Trek collection full of interesting items, most of which I've never seen! Enjoy!

This week we’re back exploring a Showmasters Destination Star Trek London convention after a five-year absence (since 2016).

Please note that the episode unfortunately suffers from a few minor technical difficulties.

In this (annual) edition of the podcast, we discuss (and celebrate) the lives of four people associated with the Star Trek franchise we lost this year, and in previous years. With focus placed on people related to the Star Trek franchises 55th Anniversary and Star Trek: Enterprise’s 20th Anniversary this year. In this year’s episode we talk about two actors (Fran Bennett & James Avery) and two members of production (Joan Pearce & Richard Arnold). May they all Rest In Peace.
