Juvenalia is a pop culture nostalgia show where Alan Maguire, Sarah Maria Griffin, and Andrea Cleary invite interesting people to tell them about something they were obsessed with when they were young; how they felt about it then and how they feel about it now. We've talked about books, films, tv shows, musicians, computer games; we're interested in it all! It's nice, you'll like it.

episode 84: 84: Star Trek: TOS with Lucy Vine
(Note: there are some sound issues with this episode. It gets better after a couple of minutes so you should stick with it. Sorry about that, it's all Alan's fault)
Author and podcaster Lucy Vine joins Alan and guest co-host Andrea Cleary to talk about Star Trek: The Original Series. We talk about Tribbles, Joan Collins, Spock, and wonder if maybe Captain Kirk has gotten an unfair rep from pop culture history.
