Trek Geeks Podcast Network

Cristian Fox leads this week's discussion surrounding the very important question of whether the ends ever justifies the means, especially when thinking about the Star Trek universe.  We discuss several episodes from Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager in this week's episode.  This discussion gets serious, but we hope you have fun listening and engaging with this week's discussion because we...

Last year at this time, we invited a relatively new podcast called SyFy Sistas to take over the Trek Geeks Podcast for an episode during Black History Month. They wowed us with their passion and they spoke to our hearts with their positivity. Shortly after that they became part of the Trek Geeks family and we celebrate that--and them--today as Bill and Dan welcome Tamia, Yvette, and Subrina to The...

This week we dive into the Star Wars universe and discuss whether or not it is true sci-fi.  Steve leads us through hyperspace as we get a little lively about our feelings positive and negative towards this incredibly deep and rich franchise in entertainment.  You'll hear some great stories and debate as a bunch of Star Trek fans, who happen to be Star Wars fans as well, talk about the rival of ou...

After a five-week hiatus, Discovery is back! While it's great to be back in adult Star Trek land, it was also nice to have a break from HEATED ARGUMENTS, which Mike and Johnson definitely have about "All In!" Listen as we strongly disagree about Discovery's overall trajectory for the second half of Season 4, while reflecting on some of LGBTQ-affirming moments that the show offers us. Johnson is al...

How do we define intelligence? Is an android incapable of original thought just because they have every Sherlock Holmes mystery memorized? In this episode, Matthew and Ruthie try not to be too angry with Pulaski for asking unfair questions, or with the ship's computer for creating a self-aware holographic villain. Matthew also reflects on moderating the "Trektivism" panel during the Trek Geeks "Tr...

[ NOTE : File updated Feb 14, 2022 at 4:45pm ET] WE'RE BACK!!!! Our first episode since September and what do we do? Bring back a fan favorite. That's what! Listen in as Mike and Fark try to fool each other with Star Trek facts that may be real or may be fake. See how much YOU know about every iteration of Star Trek and see if you can beat us.

Our very own robot expert and sci-fi author, Adeena, leads us through an interesting discussion about our favorite robots/AI from around the sci-fi universe!  We focus on a fascinating episode of The Outer Limits called "I, Robot."  We really nerd out on robots in this episode and you might just be surprised at what we discuss!  Join us for this 2nd episode and leave us a comment via email: bigsci...

This week, Bill & Dan are honored to welcome a very special guest to the podcast. When Trek Geeks began seven years ago, this person was one of the first we put on our "wish list" of guests--those we really hoped to be able to chat with some day. Armin Shimerman from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine joins The Flagship to discuss his time on Trek, his novels, his involvement with the Pancreatic Cancer Ac...

On this final episode of the first half of Season 1, Mike and Emilie are joined by Abby Sommer to discuss "A Moral Star, Part 2." The crew will attempt to get the U.S.S. Protostar back from The Diviner while also trying to release all the Unwanted from Tars Lamora. This will mean redemption for some of our characters and a new unseen one for all of them. We'll discuss that and talk in depth about...

Far Beyond the Stars, one of the most celebrated episodes in the Star Trek franchise, was written by one of the most creative, thought-provoking, and prolific tv science fiction writers of our time, Marc Scott Zicree. The Sistas sat down with Marc to talk about how the then controversial Deep Space Nine episode made it to the screen, why Avery Brooks had to direct it, and the efforts of the cast a...

This week, we're chatting about the penultimate episode of the second quarter of Prodigy's first season - "A Moral Star Part 1"! While not necessarily the biggest cliffhanger, Mike and Johnson discuss how well this entire first season has meshed, and how this episode draws really well from all the episodes that came previously. But when will all our questions be answered!? Hopefully we don't have...

This inaugural episode introduces our hosts as we talk about ourselves and our favorites inside and outside of Trek. The discussion is fun and entertaining as we go all around the sci-fi universe in describing our fandom. We also talk about TNG and DS9's portrayal of Worf's parenting style. In addition, we learn of an incredible sci-fi series of the past from the self-proclaimed "old guy" of our c...

In this episode Worf and Riker fight Holo Lizards, the Enterprise is swallowed by a child-faced void, and Ruthie and Matthew talk about our human responses to powerlessness. Main cover art by Nathan Nun (www.nathannun.ca) Theme Music by Flame Lion Studios

And the countdown to the end of Prodigy's second episode chunk has begun! Before we get into breaking down "Time Amok," we talk a bit of Star Trek news - including the latest Picard trailer, which has both Mike and Johnson just a bit more excited for the new season. We then get into Prodigy, which gives us an episode that has some great moments and morality lessons - hooray for Rok-Tahk saving the...

This week, Mike and Emilie are joined by Meg MacConnell to discuss the penultimate episode of the first half of Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1, "A Moral Star, Part 1." The crew of the Protostar are forced to return to Tars Lamora for the greater good. Having learned how to work together as a crew, Dal and company prepare a rescue mission of the "Unwanted" on Tars Lamora. The Diviner, as expected, goe...

This week, we bring you the audio from our conversation with Star Trek: Voyager & Star Trek: Picard's Jeri Ryan! Then following that, we have a special TREK*talks follow-up segment with John Billingsley to talk about the telethon and plans for next year! Plus, tell you about everything else that's been going on in the lives of the Trek Geeks as we celebrate our 7th anniversary on this installment...

  This week, Mike and Emilie are joined by Jude and Brent Allen of the Murf's Turf Podcast to discuss "Time Amok." A tachyon storm threatens to destroy the U.S.S. Protostar and the crew needs to work together in a unique way to prevent it. Each one of the crew is separated into different parts of time on board the Protostar, with their only way of working together being through Hologram Janeway. T...

  And we're back with one of the few episodes we're both recording in person and not over Zoom! This week, we start to episode by enjoying (?) a glass of Chateau Picard, which Mike and Johnson give a mixed review - but the bottle is so cool! We then dive into this week's Prodigy episode, which thankfully gives us a slightly less annoying Dal, but perhaps a more stereotypical portrayal of a Fe...

It's 'Science with Mohamed' as the Sistas get the answers to those questions you've been dying to ask. The episodes "Distant Origin" and "Lineage" from Voyager, and "Masterpiece Society" and "Up the Long Ladder" from TNG come up in this conversation. But as we delve into that whale movie and any season of Discovery it becomes science 2.0. Dr. Noor debunks a Sista's "in the year 2525" theory, expla...

Discovering Trek listeners, are you as shocked as we are that this is the end of season one? More timey wimey activities with dire consequences are going on and what does this mean for the future of our crew, Starfleet and deep space exploration? What does that mean for season two? Does that mean that the shackles of the rhyming recap have been thrown to the wind? Oh gawd please let that be a yes!...

We're excited to announce our brand new podcast!  Sci-fi fans from all over North America have united for this fun and light-hearted opinion-based podcast.  We love Trek the most, but our love for Trek has given us a deep love for all things sci-fi.  Coming February 4th to a podcast universe near you!

It's the second season premiere of TNG, and the Enterprise has a brand-new Chief Medical Officer, along with a new Chief Engineer and Chief of Security. And, of course, Riker has a new beard and Troi very briefly has a child. Matthew and Ruthie discuss the unfortunate implications of the mystical pregnancy trope in stories and wonder why this new doctor can't pronounce Data's name. Main cover art...

This week, Mike and Emilie are joined by author Jake Black and his 3 kids, Jonas, Rachel, and Elisabeth, to discuss "First Con-Tact." Dal comes across a former mentor and has mixed feelings as the rest of the crew meet her. As the crew of the U.S.S. Protostar continue to learn the many things that their ship can do, they receive a distress call from what turns out to be a female Ferengi Daimon, Na...

And now we're back to Prodigy - way to give us whiplash Paramount Plus! Good thing that this episode is a doozy in all the best ways - it's hard to count the number of references that they decided to pack in. Between all the character appearances on the holodeck to the reveal of Captain Chakotay at the end :scream emoji:, we're glad that Prodigy decided to start episode six with a bang. After gett...

The Prodigy crew is back and so is Discovering Trek! Mike and Emilie are joined by Kellyn Goncalves, to discuss "Kobayashi." The Protostar emerges from its warp 4,000 light years from the Delta Quadrant and discovers some of what the holodeck can do. The majority of the crew wants to contact the Federation after finding out they've traveled faster than anyone thought possible. Dal isn't having it....
