The Orb is a Trek.fm podcast dedicated entirely to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, hosted since 2013 by C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing. In January 2023, we begin a 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of DS9, one episode at a time, as we shift from our format of exploring the minutiae of the show to celebrating 30 years of the greatest chapter in the Star Trek franchise with an episode-by-episode examination.

The Orb 21: The Ice Cream Trucks of the Galaxy
The Breen.
When the writers of Deep Space Nine needed to throw one more challenge at the Federation Alliance, they turned to a name we all knew but a race we knew nearly nothing about: The Breen. In this episode of The Orb hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing take on these menacing aliens in Boushh cosplay as we look at what we think we know about them, their role in the culmination of the Dominion War, and why they were an excellent creative choice. We touch on both what we’ve seen on screen and what has been developed in the expanded literary universe, and reveal our own ideas of what’s going on under those suits.
