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! Do you like what we have to say? Do you vehemently disagree with our steaming, hot takes? Then share your own perspectives with us over on Discord at https://discord.gg/6ynq25Zvkh Hosted by Jaron Hatch and Aaron Cole.

episode 13: Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Did you know that Star Wars wasn't the only space movie starting with "Star" to come out during the 1970's? Turns out there was this other franchise called Star Trek that wanted to show that it was just as good, maybe even better. So we decided to round up the gang to see if this first Star Trek movie was up to the task. Listen as we break it all down in this feature-length episode, and talk about why we all love movies.

episode 12: "The Practical Joker"
Who's ready for wacky, cartoon shenanigans? Star Trek is, that's who! But how does the 70's cartoon compare to the 60's show? Is it more of the same or it is something magical? Figure out as we watch the one and only episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series on our list.

episode 11: "Is There In Truth No Beauty?"
Alas, we've come to the final episode of Star Trek: The Original Series on our list. The show was cancelled in its third and worst season, so will be going out on a low note? Or will be pleasantly surprised? Join us as we trip out on this strange episode of 60's Trek and vibrate on spirituality. Groovy.
Episode discussion begins at 15:30.

episode 10: "The Enterprise Incident"
What's this? Could it be? A good episode from the third season of 60's Star Trek?? Well, I guess miracles do happen... unless we watch it and realize that it's "Season 3 Good," which of course means that it's still bad. Let's find out as three old artsy-fartsy friends watch this classic episode Star Trek: The Original Series.

episode 9: "Elaan of Troyius"
Oh boy, it's a 60's Star Trek story about women, so we must be in for a sexist treat. We might have fared a little better if it were an earlier episode of the show, but this one's from the third season and we all know how that one went. Is there any enjoyment to be found in this wonky episode from Star Trek: The Original Series? Find out as we share a few laughs and talk about just how important good writing is.

episode 8: "A Private Little War"
Tonight, on a very special episode of Star Trek Stories, we dive head long into the Vietnam War. Well, at least as far as Star Trek sees it--you know, natives in white wigs, bellbottom pants, giant poisonous monkeys, the usual stuff you think of when you imagine Vietnam. Buckle up as we jump into this troubled episode of Star Trek: The Original Series to see if we can find any insights into the infamous 20th century conflict. And if not, it'll at least be good for a few laughs...
episode 7: "Journey to Babel"
For those who didn't get enough Spock in the last episode, good news! We're taking a second look at everyone's favorite Vulcan, but this time through the lens of his parents. Join us as we wrestle with this classic episode of Star Trek: The Original Series and the differences between blood family and found family.

episode 6: "Amok Time"
Finally, it's time for the episode that the movie Cable Guy spoofs in that one scene! If you don't get the reference, then please go watch that movie instead of listening to our podcast, you won't regret it. If, however, you're one of the sorry saps that decides to stick around, we'll be watching another of the all-time classics from Star Trek: The Original Series, so it won't be a bad second option...
episode 5: "Friday's Child"
Do you ever feel like you only catch the, "Oh yeah, this one" episodes when you're flipping through the channels? Probably not, since streaming services exist now, but if it was 1967, you'd most certainly agree. This is when our podcast comes across one of those episodes... so come and listen to us talk about video games instead.
Episode discussion starts at 13:00.
