"Second Contact"

Published on: 18th August, 2025

This is more like our 98th contact, but who's counting? Man, if second contact is supposed to be the unglamorous Star Trek assignment, what does that make our podcast? The lowest of the low? I mean, we are a third-rate podcast in a third-rate podcast genre, so that tracks. I mean what? No, we're awesome, whatever, shut up, you don't know me. Why don't you make yourself useful and help us watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Episode discussion starts at 13:17.

This is episode 8/10 in our look at Modern Trek.

Hosted by Jaron Hatch and Andrea Peterson.

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're currently watching through a curated 100 episode list titled "Venturing Through The Universe." In this list, we're exploring how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over the decades, beginning with its origins in 1964 and seeing where it ends up in the modern day. We'll go on adventures with Mister Spock, listen to Patrick Stewart wax philosophically about humanity, and see how high Captain Pike's towering pompadour can get. Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, we'll get a look at just about everything Star Trek has to offer. So grab your headphones, cue up an episode, and get lost in a silly little Star Trek story with us. Make it so!
