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 4: "Balance of Terror"
Well now that we've got those pesky early ones out of the way, it's time for our first all-time classic Star Trek episode! Unless, of course, it doesn't manage to hold up as well as we hoped, it has been over 50 years after all. Find out as we break down this acclaimed episode of Star Trek: The Original Series and the importance of storytelling.
Episode discussion starts at 13:17.
This is episode 4/13 in our look at Classic Trek...
episode 3: "The Man Trap"
We all fall in love with things in our way and in our own time. For some, their love of Star Trek started with a visit to space camp and old VHS tapes. For some, it was watching the debut episode of Star Trek: The Original Series back in 1966. If this first episode doesn't make us fall in love with it, then we'll at least have our first guest host to fall in love with instead.
Episode discussion starts 15:31.

episode 2: "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
Sometimes it takes a couple of pilots to get a show off the ground, and even then, there's no guarantee that the second one will get it right. Does Star Trek's second pilot get it right? What about OUR show's second episode? Do we get it right? Will we ever? Maybe not, but at least you'll get to hear us talk about what we love about Star Trek and how we feel about this early episode of Star Trek: The Original Series.

episode 1: "The Cage"
It's the very first episode, for both our podcast and the entire Star Trek franchise! Everything great has humble beginnings, and in Star Trek's case, it all starts with one man's dream about making a "space western," a kind of TV show no one had ever seen before. In our case, it starts with two blokes watching an episode of Star Trek, grabbing a mic, and praying for God to bless them with a good podcast...
