About the Podcast

Star Trek Stories

A Watch-Along Podcast

A podcast where we hang out with friends, watch episodes from across the Star Trek franchise, and chat about them! This is a show for both newcomers and long-time fans alike, as part of we what do here is explore perspectives on Star Trek and storytelling in general.

We are currently in Phase II of our podcast, which we have titled "Spinning Off Into The Unknown." In this phase, we're exploring the larger franchise beyond the world of its most popular incarnation, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and examining how all the other shows approach their own unique takes on Star Trek. We'll go on adventures with Lieutenant Arex, listen to Kate Mulgrew laugh in the faces of her male co-stars, and see if Michael Burnham can ever truly find redemption. Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, we'll get a look at just about everything Star Trek has to offer (except for TNG and Picard). So grab your headphones, cue up an episode, and get lost in a silly little Star Trek story with us. Make it so!
