AM Radio

“The 37's” 30th-anniversary reflections Rust in space leads Voyager to one of the strangest finds in Star Trek history: a 1936 Ford pickup truck. Janeway decides to bring the ancient "ground vehicle" aboard, and Tom Paris—suddenly an expert on 20th-century automotive tech—starts playing with its AM radio and picks up an SOS from a nearby planet. On the surface, the crew discovers even more oddities: humans displaced in time, including aviator Amelia Earhart, who famously vanished. Solving one of Earth's great mysteries turns out to be the easy part, however. After 400 years, humans have built a community on the planet, and they invite Voyager's crew everyone to stay. Will they? In this episode of To The Journey, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Voyager, one episode at a time. In this installment, we jump into season 2 as we discuss “The 37's,” how the story works as a season opener, its intended role as the season 1 finale, the TOS flavor, conflicting creative visions, and more.

Are You Only Asking Me Because I'm Scottish?

Invasion!: First Strike. Back in the heyday of Star Trek publishing, writers had four golden-era series to write in. Generally, the books stood apart from each other as stand-alones within their own series. But in 1996, Pocket Books published something unprecedented: a four-book crossover featuring each of the televised series to date. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan dive into the first Invasion! book, First Strike - an Original Series entry, written by prolific Trek author Diane Carey. Casey and Jonathan discuss the propulsiveness of the story, zealots and agnostics, and the newest threat in this part of the galaxy - the Furies!

Afternoon Joe

“Armageddon Game” 30th-anniversary reflections Sometimes, a good cup of coffee can save the day. It sure does for Miles O'Brien and Julian Bashir when a mission to help two formerly warring civilizations destroy their stockpiles of deadly weapons goes awry. Taking no chances, Kellerun soldiers storm the lab and massacre the science team the moment the last weapon is neutralized. And while Miles and Julian escape, they are reported dead to Deep Space 9. It's only when Keiko notices on security footage that her husband is drinking coffee in the afternoon—something she believes he never does—that Sisko mounts a mission to find out what is really going on and ultimately rescues his officers. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time.

A Sticky Situation

“Hatchery” 20th-anniversary reflections As the Enterprise pushes toward Azati Prime, Archer leads an away team to a derelict Xindi-Insectoid vessel and discovers hundreds of gestating eggs, with life support failing. While examining the hatchery, a tendril suddenly sprays him with goo. Phlox initially dismisses it as a mild neurotoxin, but Archer grows increasingly obsessive about saving the hatchlings. Clearly, the situation is stickier than the doctor thought. As his behavior shifts from principled to unhinged, the crew stage a quiet mutiny to keep their mission on track. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Hatchery” as we discuss the big question the story asks, the crew's reaction to Archer's space madness, how it all fits into the overall Xindi arc, and more.

Now with Denobulan Nudity

“Doctor's Orders” 20th-anniversary reflections As the Enterprise makes its way to Azati Prime, it must pass through a region of space where a massive trans-dimensional disturbance will likely cause fatal brain damage to any conscious human. Doctor Phlox proposes to place the entire human crew in neuro-sedation for the four days it will take to cross the area at full impulse and volunteers to watch over his comatose crewmates with only Porthos—and what appears to be T'Pol—for company. As the anomaly begins to expand faster than expected and Phlox's grip on reality starts to slip, he must navigate an empty ship and overcome hallucinations before the crew suffers permanent neurological damage. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Doctor's Orders” as we discuss how the story mirrors Voyager's "One," helps fill the required 24 episode slots, and shows us more of Phlox than we ever wanted to see. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) "One" More Time (00:01:59) Absolute Filler (00:06:14) Why T'Pol? (00:12:34) Phlox au Naturel (00:15:06) Final Thoughts and Ratings (00:18:18) Closing (00:21:10) Hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing Production C Bryan Jones (Editor and Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C.
