Mission Log is a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast with the sole purpose of exploring the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. That’s right, this podcast will cover six different series and 30 seasons of television by journeying into every one of the 726 episodes with a single mission: to explore, debate and discuss one of the largest science fiction phenomena of all time, Star Trek.

Starting with The Original Series’ initial pilot and continuing chronologically until we reach the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, each week our hosts, Ken Ray and John Champion, will tackle a single episode, delving into the most historical and hysterical science fiction that Star Trek has to offer. Along with a variety of guests and interviews, Mission Log will attempt to reach Star Trek’s ethical subtext, understand it’s complex metaphors and finally figure out what was the trouble with those tribbles.

Explore strange new details. Seek out new perspectives; deeper understandings. Boldly go where so many of us love to go, again and again. Join us for Mission Log!

The best Trek podcast of all time

Star Trek at its best is a show that deals with serious themes but never takes itself too seriously and Ken and John embody this spirit of Star Trek. Their reviews give the appropriate amount of gravitas to the serious themes the episodes deal with, but they always balance it out with a sense of humor that always makes for an enjoyable listen. You might not always agree with their observations but for the most part they present their opinions with a light touch that invites the listener to reflect on the episodes in a deeper way. The result is a piece of work that makes the whole experience of being a fan all the more rewarding. Other fan commentary, from TV shows, movies, music and sports, could learn something from how Ken and John approach their work.

This Podcast is #1

This is my favorite Star Trek podcast. This is also my favorite podcast.

I look forward to each weeks episode with nearly the same level of anticipation that I looked forward to a new episode of Trek during its prime in the 90s.

Hearing Ken & John recap every episode, poke a little fun at it, then give it an extremely thought provoking analysis is like seeing the episodes again for the first time.

John & Ken are *both* Champions as far as I’m concerned.

The Computer is a great co-host as well!

Yeah, I’m out.

I just can’t get past this insane bias anymore. This was my favorite podcast but Ken’s complete dismissal of DS9 solely because it’s not TNG has made this awesome podcast nearly unlistenable. The Arsenal of Freedom is better than Civil Defense? The Arsenal of Freedom, really? If that’s all you think about while watching a superior episode of Deep Space Nine, just resign. Was so excited for them to get to DS9, little did I know the podcast would just slip into a Pro TOS/TNG, Anti everything else bash fest. Let someone who can watch these episodes on their own merit have a shot if you hate the series so much.
