Get ready for a holodeck experience for your ears!!! We're diving headfirst into the hot topic of the galaxy – Axanar (the fan film that sunk a thousand productions)! Christel and Richard are bringing in their Trekkie Bestie, Matt to see it all for his podcast debut! Now, we know Prelude to Axanar is the only fully released teaser we have so far, but let's just say it's like a Klingon opera: Dramatic and surprisingly mesmerizing. We're practically booking our shore leave in anticipation of the full Axanar film to come out. It promises to be epic… but it may turn out to be as epic as a Vulcan emotional breakdown... We're also chatting about the elusive Interlude to Axanar. Spoiler alert: it involves more dramatic standoffs than an intense game of space poker! And because we just can’t contain our excitement, we're tossing in not one, but TWO unreleased episodes of Star Trek: New Voyages! Richard made some updates in editing to make them more watchable. He basically spun space rocks into gold pressed latinum! So grab your Earl Grey Tea, HOT and boldly go where no podcaster has gone before!

We are excited to present to you our in-depth review of not one, but two thrilling episodes from the popular sci-fi fan series, Star Trek: New Voyages (Phase II). In this special edition, we take a closer look at 'Blood and Fire' and 'Enemy: Starfleet.' One will leave you on the edge of your seat and the other will provide you pure campy fun! Joining us for this instalment is returning guest, Itztli and first timer, Kaylee. Tune in as we delve into the action-packed and thought-provoking plotlines of these two fan films. We had a "Gay Ole Time," (as the saying goes) recording this and hope you will hear that joy as you listen back! A warning before you proceed: be wary of any Blood Worm Infestations or Mind Control Pheromones that try to thwart you from playing this Podcast! It'll be worth overcoming any adversity to fully listen to these reactions. You can watch these two amazing episodes for yourself and make your own conclusions, the links are below. Trust us, you won't want to miss the full enjoyment!!! Live Long and Prosper.

It's alright; I'm a doctor.

Folks, it is 2023. You are recording your podcasts with the default noise gate on. Really? This late in the game? Here’s a novel idea: Just once, try listening to your own podcast recording. Notice how the first syllable of every person talking is missing? I can’t listen to a full hour of that. Solution: turn off the noise gate. How to do that? Go to the noise gate and switch off. I know, mind blowing right?
