Patterns of Force (w/ Ramona Donohue)

Jan 31 2025 39 mins  
An unfortunately timely episode of Star Trek is discussed this week as we go into "Patterns of Force". New guest Ramona Donohue joins us as we talk about whether it is timely, toothless, or possibly both. Listen now!

Return to Tomorrow (w/ Val McKenna)

Giant glowing orbs are doing body swaps in this cerebral and intriguing episode of Star Trek. Val McKenna rejoins us to talk all about that.

A Private Little War (w/ Joe DeAngelis)

Jan 03 2025 47 mins  
Star Trek does a big Vietnam war allegory, only it's muddled by a scheming matriarch, brainwashing plants, and an alien gorilla. Joe DeAngelis returns to talk A Private Little War!

The Immunity Syndrome (w/ Liz Lotsof)

Dec 13 2024 52 mins  
First time guest and actual scientist Liz Lotsof brings her expertise to help study a giant energy draining space amoeba as we discuss "The Immunity Syndrome"! Listen to us chat about how this is a great episode for everyone, but especially Spock, and how fun it is to see the entire cast act very tired.

A Piece of the Action (w/ Chris Dole)

Nov 29 2024 50 mins  
In this episode of Talking Trek, we discuss Kirk going native as the Enterprise crew encounters a planet imitating 1920s Chicago in "A Piece of the Action". A lot of silliness and commitment to the bit ensues, as we have Chris Dole (Arden, My Big Score) back on the pod to get a piece of THIS action.

The Gamesters of Triskelion (w/ David Bednar)

Nov 15 2024 70 mins  
What if "Arena" was even more horny? This is the bold question "The Gamesters of Triskelion" asks, with its pop art visuals, constant barrage of stuff happening, and questionable script. David Bednar joins us in discussing an episode that has some of the best and worst Star Trek has to offer all in one package.

The Trouble With Tribbles (w/ Alasdair Wilkins)

Nov 01 2024 63 mins  
Alasdair Wilkins is back on the Klingon beat, as they join Kev and Carl in discussing the seminal episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". Join us as we talk about one of the best comedy episodes the show has done, all the great character moments, and more!

Wolf in the Fold (w/ Abbie Phelps + Natalie Marin)

Oct 18 2024 59 mins  
This week, Montgomery Scott is accused of murder, but the real killer is the voice of Piglet is possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper. Naturally the only solution is for everyone to get REALLY high. Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marin return to discuss the chaotic, unfortunately sexist, yet also undeniably fun "Wolf in the Fold"!

Obsession (w/ Matt Fink)

Oct 04 2024 56 mins  
Talking Trek is back! While JG had to step away from the pod (we wish him well!) we have a new co-host in previous guest Carl Garcia. This episode, Matt Fink joins us for his outside of Trek perspective on "Obsession". Listen to us talk about introducing people to Trek, a vampiric energy cloud, a great showing from Nurse Chapel, and once again Shatner killing it.

The Deadly Years (with Rachel Bernstein)

Mar 07 2024 55 mins  
It's time to tackle the horros of ageing - or at least the horrors of old-age makeup - as The Deadly Years hoves into view. And along to cope with all that latex (not as fun as it sounds) is Rachel Novak! How effective is the attempts to age up our crew? Does the episode do anything with its central premise? And just how off-handed is the ending? Plus in Recommendations we have an
