The Measure of a Fan

Hey folks. Just a quick one to say that there’s no episode this week. We do have one recorded and edited, but we’ve decided to go to a bi-weekly release schedule for a bit. We’ve got a couple of holidays interfering with recording this month, and we want to try and avoid more large gaps. Hopefully.

New episode! Rachel England joins us to watch If Memory Serves. This would be a terrible episode to introduce someone to Star Trek with. It’s also Rachel’s introduction to Star Trek. Oops. Our bad! Wherever you get your podcasts.

What’s this? Did we release a new episode? You bet your sweet, sweet ass we did. We look at Light and Shadows, as Spock finally turns up in Discovery! Plus! Pike and Tyler fight a future squid! Wherever you get your podcasts.

Also, thank you for bearing with us. There were a lot of technical issues with this one, and editing around them was time consuming. You’ll still hear the odd bit of bleed and some poor audio, but we’ve done what we can.

We have a new episode coming out on Wednesday! Finally!

And, in the meantime, today is three years since we released one of our very best. As you wait for the new episode, why not revisit Tarquin’s Castle?

Podcast · PJ Montgomery · PJ Montgomery and Mat Troy are life long Star Trek fans. Eliot Red hasn't really watched much Star Trek at all. PJ and Mat decided Eliot should watch all of it. In chronological order. Listen to their discussions as they go through the entire franchise, one episode at a t...

We may not have released a new episode recently, but Eliot has released new music. Here’s a new tune from him, Meteoric.

We want to say sorry that we haven’t released a new episode for a few weeks. We’ve been having increasingly large technical issues with each of our last few episodes. The current one has been the worst, and editing it is proving to be a nightmare. But we’re getting there. It’s coming soon.

New episode! We watch The Sound of Thunder, and all think it’s good actually?!?! Also, there’s some chewing, and we’re sorry. But also not sorry, as the chocolate was delicious.

We forgot to promote it yesterday, but new episode! We look at Saints of Imperfection, as the Discovery crew journey into the mycelial network to recover one of their own. And get a delightful extra. Wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey folks. There won’t be an episode next week. PJ has attempted to edit it twice, and twice, audacity has just deleted all the audio. We still have the raw recordings, but PJ will need to start the editing again, for the third time, and just doesn’t have time to finish it before Wednesday.

We think (strong emphasis on think) we have figured out what was going wrong, so hopefully we can get it sorted the third time. But you’ll have to be patient with us. So sorry. This is what happens when you let three nerds with very little tech savvy run their own show.

New episode day! We watch An Obol for Charon (don’t pay the ferryman). And it turns out, PJ and Mat have been torturing Eliot with sub-par Star Trek for so long, that the poor man has become exasperated to the point of forgetting how mysteries work. Bless.
