A podcast where we hang out with friends, watch episodes from across the Star Trek franchise, and chat about them! This is a show for both newcomers and long-time fans alike, as part of we what do here is explore perspectives on Star Trek and storytelling in general. We are currently in Phase II of our podcast, which we have titled "Spinning Off Into The Unknown." In this phase, we're exploring the larger franchise beyond the world of its most popular incarnation, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and examining how all the other shows approach their own unique takes on Star Trek. We'll go on adventures with Lieutenant Arex, listen to Kate Mulgrew laugh in the faces of her male co-stars, and see if Michael Burnham can ever truly find redemption. Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, we'll get a look at just about everything Star Trek has to offer (except for TNG and Picard). So grab your headphones, cue up an episode, and get lost in a silly little Star Trek story with us. Make it so! Created by Jaron Hatch and Aaron Cole.

    Venturing Through The Universe: The 100th Anniversary Holiday Special

    Well, dear listeners, we have come to the conclusion of our 100 episode list, Venturing Through The Universe. And while all good things must indeed come to an end, we can still celebrate the time we had together thanks to the magic of a good old fashioned holiday special. We'll laugh... we'll reminisce... and most importantly, we'll debate the finer points of Star Trek. Alas, it's also true that this special signals the podcast being put on indefinite hiatus. But as my good friend Mister Spock once said, "There are always possibilities." Classic Trek starts at 04:34 The Growing Pains Of The Next Generation starts at 28:28 The TNG Renaissance starts at 41:05 The TNG Glory Years starts at 58:56 Deep Space Nine and the End of TNG starts at 01:19:50 Voyager starts at 01:41:01 The Waning Enterprise starts at 02:01:56 Modern Trek starts at 02:09:30 Outro starts at 02:25:20 Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Aaron Cole, Aren Hatch, Marc Nielson, with Tyson Baker, Ellen Lewis, Jake Barnes, Jennie Beal, Tanner Hatch, Mindy Barnes, & Andrew Nadon.

    Reflections on Modern Trek

    Believe it or not, dear listeners, we have finally made it to the modern day. Star Trek '09, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds--even Short Treks--they're all in the rearview mirror now. But how successful was our pilot season? Which shows will be picked up by our audiences? Which will leave a lasting legacy? Only time will tell. In the meantime, let's examine how this current era stacks up to the others... and tease what will be coming next for the podcast. Hosted by Jaron Hatch.

    "Strange New Worlds"

    Alright, y'all, we've been doing this for 100 episodes, how can there be anything strange or new left? What's that, you say? You're saying there are almost 900 more episodes to go?? Goodness me, how on Earth are we supposed to continue on with this trek through the stars? Will it go on forever? Or is it time to finally pull into space dock and give it a rest? These questions, and more, will probably go unanswered in this premiere episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Episode discussion starts at 19:53. This is the final episode in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Aaron Cole, & Andrew Nadon.

  5. "Lost and Found"

    "Lost and Found"

    I sometimes feels like this is the Star Trek show that ended up in the lost and found. It's a shame too, it's such a little gem of a series. It just never found the right home. What about you? Do you have any room in your home for this lost little Star Trek show? You may find that it is a little bundle of joy to brighten your life. The only way to know is to open up your heart to this premiere episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. Episode discussion starts at 18:47 . This is episode 9/10 in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, with Cassh, Odin, Caitlin, Isiah, and Jennie. Email us at storiedstartrek@gmail.com Visit our Discord Server at https://discord.gg/6ynq25Zvkh

    "Second Contact"

    This is more like our 98th contact, but who's counting? Man, if second contact is supposed to be the unglamorous Star Trek assignment, what does that make our podcast? The lowest of the low? I mean, we are a third-rate podcast in a third-rate podcast genre, so that tracks. I mean what? No, we're awesome, whatever, shut up, you don't know me. Why don't you make yourself useful and help us watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Episode discussion starts at 13:17. This is episode 8/10 in our look at Modern Trek.

  7. "The End is the Beginning"

    08/11/2025

    "The End is the Beginning"

    Despite what the title might have you believe, this is not the beginning of our coverage of this series. Having watched the first three episodes of this show, it would be more appropriate to call this, "The Beginning is the End." And not a moment too soon, as we were all starting to fall asleep trying to get through them. Unless there is something in this last one that will finally wake this show up? We can only find out by watching this act-one concluding episode of Star Trek: Picard. Episode discussion starts at 18:50. This is episode 7/10 in our look at Modern Trek.

  8. "Maps and Legends"

    08/04/2025

    "Maps and Legends"

    Please don't tell me we're going to need a map and a legend to make sense of this show. We're only two episodes into this series and we already need a guide to figure it out? This is Star Trek we're talking about, not The Silmarillion. Maybe this new, fancy-fangled Trek is just that complex... or convoluted. Oh well, let's see if we can find our way with this plot-building episode of Star Trek: Picard. Episode discussion starts at 19:06. This is episode 6/10 in our look at Modern Trek.
