Just a few weeks ago, we were incredibly fortunate to be joined by so many of our Star Trek icons to support the Hollywood Food Coalition in TREKtalks2. Plus, with the help of this amazing fandom, we were able to beat last year's total and then some!

This week, we bring are proud to bring you some of the highlights of that day.

We'll be joined first by Enterprise's John Billingley to talk about how TREKtalks2 went and get his thoughts on the day--as well as an updated total on fundraising!

Then, we bring you the audio of our conversation with the Captain of the Enterprise himself, Anson Mount from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!

After that, it's the Captain of the first Enterprise--the one and only Scott Bakula from Star Trek: Enterprise!

Don't forget you can STILL make a donation to the telethon by going to givebutter.com/trektalks today!

It's a star-filled 299th episode of Trek Geeks and we hope you'll join us!

The Annual Airing of the Outtakes concludes this week with Part II of our Annual Special!

In this second installment of the Outtakes Special, hear Bill and Dan's pre-show conversations from throughout the year. If you listen past the end theme of every episode, you've heard these in small doses. Now, you get them in their own episode.

And, yes, people actually ask for us to publish this every year, believe it or not!

We'll be back with an all-new episode soon!

It's become a tradition on the Trek Geeks Podcast and one of the most requested episodes we publish every year--the annual Airing of the Outtakes!

In this first installment of the Outtakes Special, hear Bill and Dan's pre-show conversations from throughout the year. If you listen past the end theme of every episode, you've heard these in small doses. Now, you get them in their own episode.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll seek therapy*.

(* = Trek Geeks cannot be held responsible for any therapy you may seek as the result of listening to the podcast.)

Happy New Year, one and all!

So, it's been a few minutes since Dan & Bill have behind the microphone and this week, they're back to catch everyone up on life, the universe, and everything. (Hey, that's got a really nice ring to it!)

Find out what they've been up to, the challenges life has presented, their highlights for the past year and their hopes for 2023.

Plus, we'll have a special chat with Jay and Kayleigha from Science Division to talk about why they are not renewing their license to produce Tribbles.

It's the one where we barely talk about Trek and we hope you'll join us.

This week, Bill & Dan look at the season finale of Star Trek's first season!

The Enterprise tries to rid the Deneva colony of single cell organisms that have wiped out an entire city--including Kirk's brother--and now threaten even more life in the galaxy!

We'll dive in on this episode and tell you what we love about it--and the things we didn't. And, yes, flying fake vomit and Shatner in a mustache are on the table!

Bill and Dan discuss the cancellation of Star Trek: Mission Seattle by ReedPOP, the officially licensed producer of Star Trek conventions in the United States. 

Our good friend Dr. Erin Macdonald returns to The Flagship to talk about her new book--and it's not what you might expect!

Sure, she's an astrophysicist and an official Star Trek science advisor, but she's penned her very first children's book titled "My First Book of Space" and it explains things in space to kids. It also features original illustrations set against real photographs of space, which will let kids see space like they never have before (and get a little Star Trek in their lives)!

Plus, she'll answer the question of why the crew of the Protostar doesn't turn into lizards when they travel really fast--and it actually makes sense to Bill and Dan! (No, really...)

Bill & Dan have talked about a LOT of Star Trek in almost 8 years. Every now and then they forget that they've discussed a particular episode but, this time, they forget WHY they wanted to talk about an episode.

They'll look at Voyager's "Prey" from Season 4 which features a performance by the wonderful Tony Todd, as well as some standout tension between Seven and Janeway.

Oh, and there are a LOT of corridor walk-and-talks in this episode. No, seriously. Like way too many.

While they certainly had no idea why this was on the schedule, they sure do find a lot to discuss in this week's episode of The Flagship!

This week, Bill and Dan take a look at the second (and penultimate) season of Star Trek: Picard!

Forced into an alternate timeline by the return of Q, Picard and crew must travel back to the 21st Century to protect an ancestor and protect the future that they know. Oh, and there's the Borg Queen, so you know some serious *BLEEP* is going to happen there.

It was a season that had a lot going on, and we'll try to make sense of it all--and we'll tell you how we'd rate it, and the answers might surprise you!

Plus, Lew from FanSets stops by for an extended conversation about their new pin lines and drops an exclusive announcement on their special 2022 Holiday Pin (pending licensing approval)!

And stick around after the closing theme for the longest after-show conversation ever with a special cameo by Bill's wife, Kelly--all in this week's episode of The Flagship!

Ask a lot of long-time fans of the original Star Trek what the worst episode of the series is and, odds are, you'll get a response like this: "UGH....Spock's Brain!"

This much-maligned season 3 premiere of TOS has been beaten up for decades and, this week, Bill and Dan stand up in defense of this installment. Find out why this is an episode they love and why they think you need to watch it again.

So, strap on that Teacher helmet and learn a whole bunch of reasons to fall in love with this very campy yet high-concept episode of Star Trek this week on The Flagship!
