Two Geeks & No Plan
Trek Geeks: A Star Trek Podcast
The All-Outtake Episode! 2023 was a sad, sad year. The traditional year-end Outtakes Super Edit didn't happen as planned and the dozen of Trek Geeks fans everywhere were crestfallen that their holidays suddenly had no meaning whatsoever. Bill and Dan have decided to make up for it this week with an entire episode about NOTHING! Now, now...calm down, Andy Fark. We know you're gonna say, "EVERY episode is about nothing," and, while you might be right, this one is even more nothinger. So THERE. Take that, doodoohead. So, this episode is what happens when Bill and Dan have no plan at all....

Spectre of the Gun
Trek Geeks: A Star Trek Podcast
Back in the Saddle Again (See, this is a Western episode and "Back in the Saddle" is a song sung by a cowb...never mind.) Some might say that it's been a long road gettin' from there to here. They might also say it's been a long time, but our time is finally near. Well, that time is NOW! That's right Geeks, the Flagship has entered standard orbit and is beaming down a classic Star Trek episode this week: "Spectre of the Gun."

One of the reasons we love Star Trek is because of its incredible and amazingly strong women that have been a part of the franchise since the very beginning.
Characters. Actors. Writers. Producers. Directors. Artists.
They've all contributed to a rich tapestry for more than half a century and Star Trek wouldn't be what it is today without every single one of them.
This week, we'll look at the characters that have helped shape this franchise at every turn. From Lieutenant Uhura to Michael Burnham, we'll discuss the characters that we feel are among the most ground breaking and those that have come to mean a lot to us.
Obviously, there's no way we could discuss them all in a single Trek Geeks episode, so we'll spend the next year celebrating the contributions of women in Star Trek in every capacity.
Plus, we'll have a special bonus segment with our dear friend, Lew Halboth, from FanSets to announce their brand new Women of Star Trek master set which will debut this summer at STLV---and how you could help determine future pins in this series!
