In each episode the guys talk about the latest Trek news and rumors, then discuss general topics related to the TV shows, movies and more. The debate is always passionate and they try to make sure that the topic always stays focused on Trek. After all, that's why they named the show "The Topic is Trek." But please forgive them if they stray from time to time. Their geekery tends to ramble.
