  • Wolf in the Fold (w/ Abbie Phelps + Natalie Marin)
    Oct 18 2024

    This week, Montgomery Scott is accused of murder, but the real killer is the voice of Piglet is possessed by the spirit of Jack the Ripper. Naturally the only solution is for everyone to get REALLY high.

    Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marin return to discuss the chaotic, unfortunately sexist, yet also undeniably fun "Wolf in the Fold"!

  • Obsession (w/ Matt Fink)
    Oct 4 2024

    Talking Trek is back! While JG had to step away from the pod (we wish him well!) we have a new co-host in previous guest Carl Garcia.

    This episode, Matt Fink joins us for his outside of Trek perspective on "Obsession". Listen to us talk about introducing people to Trek, a vampiric energy cloud, a great showing from Nurse Chapel, and once again Shatner killing it.

  • The Deadly Years (with Rachel Bernstein)
    Mar 8 2024

    It's time to tackle the horros of ageing - or at least the horrors of old-age makeup - as The Deadly Years hoves into view. And along to cope with all that latex (not as fun as it sounds) is Rachel Novak!

    How effective is the attempts to age up our crew? Does the episode do anything with its central premise? And just how off-handed is the ending? Plus in Recommendations we have an animated TV show and two non-animated TV shows. Which is nice.

  • Friday's Child (with Dais Johnston)
    Feb 23 2024

    Trade agreement required? Check. Savage local population causing trouble? Check. Lone Klingon making things worse? Check. Dumbest "ruse" in Starfleet history? Check. Why it must be Friday's Child! And to deal with a trade mission that needs all the help it can get, Dais Johnston is along for the ride!

    Does the episode stand up to modern television in its approach to (let's say) feminism? Do we manage to get a convincing alien society? How much purple fur can one planet need?

    Plus in Recommendations we have two TV shows and a movie.

  • Journey to Babel (with Jack McDonald)
    Feb 10 2024

    It's time to take a journey. To Babel (well, some of the way there anyway) as the Enterprise is off on a diplomatic mission.

    And to help us sift through the raft of ambassadors and murder plots we have Jack McDonald! How do the Federation politics work out? Is the family drama succesful? And given how much of a founding text this is, does it stand up to scrutiny?

    Plus in Recommendations we have an anime, a movie and a TV sitcom.

  • Metamorphosis (with Jon D Arthur)
    Jan 26 2024

    What is, as Shakespeare definitely didn't write, such love between a man and a cloud? Well, let's answer that question as we tackle Metamorphosis. And to help judge the relationship between humanity and water vapour we have Jon D Arthur!

    How does the episode manage to juggle its themes? Can the episode bear the weight of how significant Zephram Cochrane is going to become in the lore? Is it, in fact, any good? Plus in Recommendations we have a movie and two video games, one obscure and one very much not.

  • I, Mudd (with Lenny Burnham)
    Jan 12 2024

    We're back! After taking a festive break, Talking Trek is back among the stars and ready to discuss... er, I, Mudd. And to join us in this tale of robot sex women and comedy shenanigans we have Lenny Burnham returning to the podcast!

    Is the return of Harry Mudd something worth celebrating? Does the comedy of the episode land? And how do the gender politics stand up sixty years after the original transmission?

    Plus in Recommendations we have a movie, a sci-fi TV show and a thriller from Apple TV.

  • Catspaw (with Sarah Gulick)
    Dec 15 2023

    It's time for a Halloween special (just in time for Christmas) as Star Trek goes - allegedly - spooky with "Catspaw". And we have a welcome return to the podcast from Sarah Gulick, here to make sure that nothing gets too scary (the fluffy kitten does help with that as well, to be fair...).

    How effective is this as a Halloween episode? Does the camp factor outweigh the fear factor? And what of Alfred Hitchcock's Star Trek? Plus in Recommendations we have a game and two TV shows.
