Worf and Dax head to Risa and the result are... oddly unsexy. But don't worry, because they run into... some preachy buzzkills. Matt and Andy go on a hunt to the find the stakes in the least fun getaway to Risa any Trek character has had.

[This TNC ... more

In one of the most beloved episodes of Trek (one could argue THE most beloved?), the DS9 crew returns to the past to visit... a BUNCH of old friends. Matt and Andy are not above deep, luxurious feels on this one.

And in possibly one of the most meta... more

Keiko comes back from a work trip possessed and oddly has never been chiller. O'Brien turns to Rom, coming into his own as DS9 character.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:34 (!)]

Jake Sisko goes Rambo! If Rambo was a real, actual young man who logically ran away when he was afraid. In this format-breaker, Jake tells us a tale of the trials and emotional ravages of war, as Matt spots Jimmy Oleson guest-starring.

  • I've been listening to this podcast since before DS9 and it's still a comforting ramble with a good handful of insights. I also appreciate the hosts long-standing effort to engage with the audience by voicing their comments (sometimes with accents), even when they don't agree. Also great pizza commentary.

  • Undeniable

    This is undeniably a podcast named Star Trek: The Next Conversation!

    Love sitting comfortably in my little Borg node at work listening to the show, love the insiiiiiide baseball, and, you know, that Andy guy is really smart.

    Star Trek has always been my jam, but somehow this show has made me appreciate it even more. Currently in season 7 of TNG…hoping to find out in Season 5 of DS9 that I was inducted into the Admiral’s Club. 😄

  • If you like Star Trek then watch Star Trek

    Buy the DVDs of all the star trek series’s and watch them again and again. I can no longer Listen to this show , The hosts have worn me down and I don’t think they even like Star Trek. They are mainly just making money off of someone else’s work.
