Trek Against Pancreatic Cancer

In this very special episode of Trek Geeks, we're proud to present the audio from a powerful livestream event originally aired on Thursday Night Geeks. Featuring an incredible lineup of guests: Jonathan Frakes, John Billingsley, Kitty Swink, Armin Shimerman, and Juan Carlos Coto--this heartfelt conversation centers around their support for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and the upcoming PurpleStride event on April 26, 2025.

You'll hear deeply personal stories from our guests, including Kitty Swink's remarkable journey as a pancreatic cancer survivor and Armin Shimerman's reflections on being by her side through the fight. John Billingsley and Jonathan Frakes speak passionately about their ongoing advocacy and the urgent need to fund research, while Juan Carlos Coto shares a moving tribute to his brother, the late Manny Coto, and his family's connection to this cause.

Whether you missed the livestream or want to hear these inspiring voices again, this audio edition brings their messages directly to your ears. It's a powerful blend of Trek family, personal resilience, and a unified call to action.

There's still time to make a difference. PurpleStride happens on April 26, and your support can help fund critical research, raise awareness, and offer hope to those impacted by this devastating disease. Visit TrekAgainstPancreaticCancer.com to donate, join a team, or learn more about how you can stride with a purpose.

This week on Trek Geeks, we're bringing you a special episode featuring the audio from Thursday Night Geeks, presented by FanSets! Hosts Bill and Dan sit down with the incredible Nana Visitor—best known as Major Kira Nerys on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—for an insightful conversation about her new book, Open a Channel: A Woman's Trek.

In this engaging discussion, Nana shares the inspiration behind her book, which highlights the stories of women who have shaped Star Trek, both on-screen and behind the scenes. She reflects on her own experiences, the groundbreaking women she interviewed, and the impact of female representation in the franchise.

Join us as we celebrate Star Trek's trailblazing women and the powerful voices that have paved the way for future generations. Whether you're a longtime DS9 fan or passionate about Star Trek's legacy, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

Our scheduled episode of Trek Geeks has been pre-empted for a discussion on the life and career of Kenneth Mitchell who passed away on February 24, 2024 at the age of 49.

The journey of Captain Janeway and crew comes to a close, but how do they get there--and do we like it?

We'll tell you all about it this week! Plus, yep...Dan gets a ship name wrong. (He knows, Doctor. He knows.)

This week, Bill and Dan take on this two-part epic discussing what makes this episode so different and how, for one of them, this really was a defining moment for Star Trek: Voyager.

While on a survey mission in the Gamma Quadrant to establish a potential mining colony, Sisko and company come across a Jem'Hadar transport ship that has crash landed. This could be the most significant intelligence find for Starfleet in recent memory--but it's not that easy.

This week, Bill and Dan are joined by TrekNews.net Contributor, Kyle Hadyniak, to discuss the rescheduled Star Trek convention in Las Vegas and how that event moves forward without CBS as a partner.

Season 4 of Star Trek: Enterprise had several small, multi-episode arcs which helped extend the story telling and the characters. This week, we look at the first of those arcs which saw the return of a legendary Trek actor!

In 2004, Brent Spiner returned to Star Trek on television to portray one of the ancestors of Data's creator, Arik Soong, who was pretty big on genetic engineering and it looks like his "kids"--the augments he'd raised from embryos--are on the verge of starting a war between Earth and the Klingons.

This week, our discussion on Christopher Pike, Vina, and the Talosians wraps up with a look at Star Trek: Discovery!

In Discovery's second season, we returned to Talos IV in an episode titled, "If Memory Serves." Michael Burnham needed the help of the Talosians to unlock Spock's memories and that wasn't all.

This episode saw a reunion of Pike and Vina 54 years after The Cage was produced, and we learned even more about the bond between these characters.

With the 54th anniversary of Star Trek being celebrated this week, Bill & Dan take a look at the central figures from most of the Star Trek series: the Captains.

From Captain Christopher Pike in "The Cage" to Acting Captain Saru in Star Trek: Discovery, we'll look at what makes these characters worthy of the Center Seat and why they embody the best of Starfleet.

As we continue our celebration of Star Trek: Voyager's 25th Anniversary, this week we take a look that a character that came on board almost mid-way through the series but very quickly became nothing short of legendary.

Born Annika Hansen, she was assimilated by the Borg at six years old. Eighteen years later, she would be separated from the Collective and become a valued member of the Starship Voyager's crew. This week, we look at the character of Seven of Nine!

This was a character that added some new qualities and different relationships for Voyager and, once again, gave us a character struggling with the concept of their own humanity--albeit in a very different way. We'll discuss why this character has become one we truly love and why we're very glad her story is far from over!

A cliffhanger.

A new crew member.

A crew member on her way out.

An old threat.

The third season cliffhanger and fourth season premiere covered a lot of ground and really changed the stakes for the crew of the USS Voyager. "Scorpion" added new elements that in a way that really turned the show on its ear by introducing an adversary that even the Borg feared!

It's cited by many fans as one of their least favorite Star Trek movies, but is it really that bad?

When Star Trek V: The Final Frontier hit theaters in 1989, it was on the heels of the wildly successful fourth movie that had a wide appeal. Expectations and anticipation were high, but the movie left fans feeling somewhat disappointed. We'll take a look at some of the challenges this movie had to overcome. 

We'll also look closely at the things that work extremely well in this movie and why the movie might be a lot better than people think. Our feelings just might have changed about this movie in the 31 years since it was released, and we can't wait to tell you why.

Joining us to look at this movie is New York Times bestselling author and friend of the show, Dayton Ward! It's a conversation we hope you'll enjoy and, we promise, no fan dancing.

Some episodes of Star Trek are just so epic, they can't be contained to a mere hour of television.

The precedent started in 1966 with Star Trek's, "The Menagerie," and it's a format that occurred all the way up through Star Trek: Enterprise: the two-part episode!

Sometimes they're a cliffhanger to give us something to anticipate over the summer hiatus and, other times, they're stories that happen mid-season. In any case, there are things to love about all of them and we'll dive into some of that this week.

Joining us to talk about some legendary two-parters are Patreon producers Christina Werther and Chris Tribuzio! It's a fun discussion that we hope you'll enjoy. Plus, like the topic at hand, it takes more than an hour to talk about this fantastic topic!

Plus, since there's no possible way we could talk about them all, we want to know YOUR favorite two-parters! Let us know on social media!

We'll talk about his career, returning to the Captain's Chair as Captain William T. Riker, and we'll even put Jonathan in the hot seat and play a game of "This or That!"

It was an amazing night and we raised money to provide just over 56,000 meals to people in need! While our campaign is over, you can still help those in need by donating to Feeding America directly through their website.

THIS OR THAT

What were the choices Jonathan Frakes had to make in the game we played with him? See the images that he saw on the Trek Geeks website!

Star Trek has always told stories about the human condition and, this week, we look at an episode that truly explores "the final frontier."

"Coda" from the third season of Star Trek: Voyager is part time loop and part alien infiltration. In it we see Kathryn Janeway die over and over and over--and we learn things about her crew that we might not have learned otherwise. It is an amazing episode with layer upon layer of character building.

We'll dive in on this hugely underrated episode in this week's Trek Geeks and tell you why it's better than you probably think it is!

Plus news and discount codes from our friends at FanSets and Science Division!

What happens when you take someone who is an astrophysicist and consults on Star Trek and subject her to explaining the science behind things to...well...us?

We're not sure, either, but we're pretty sure that her head exploding might be a possible outcome!

You might have seen her at STLV or maybe even in her online series, "Dr. Erin Explains the Universe." This week, we welcome Dr. Erin MacDonald to the podcast to talk about the science of things in Star Trek and whether or not some of these things make sense. 

Plus, we'll talk about the rescheduled dates for STLV and give you an update on our online fundraiser for Feeding America in this week's episode of The Flagship of the Trek Geeks Podcast Network!

It's only taken us four years but this week on Trek Geeks, we'll right a grievous error.

If you recall our 100th episode, "A Journey to Future's Past, Part I: Beaming Aboard Star Trek Continues," we told the story of our trip Kingsland, Georgia and visit to sets of this legendary fan film series. We told you about the people we met and how our love for The Original Series had been rekindled. We brought you a story of family. It was the most ambitious episode we've ever done: an audio documentary in the style of National Public Radio, and it's become a favorite among Trek Geeks listeners. It was an episode we still get feedback about, and it even led to us being a finalist for the Parsec Awards. 

It was our every intention to bring you part two of that story, and then CBS started making more Star Trek. They launched Discovery and we started a second podcast. Then we started a network. Now with eight Star Trek series in some form of production, we decided that we needed to bring you the conversations from Day 2 of our trip.

So, in this episode, you'll hear from Grant Imahara, Wyatt Lenhart, and our dear friend Kasey Shafsky. Plus, we'll also have some audio of our final walkthrough of the sets before we said goodbye to the Starship Enterprise for the last time.

Plus, find out about our charity livestream with Jonathan Frakes from Star Trek: The Next Generation coming up on June 11th! Get all the details!

Over the decades, Star Trek has become part of international pop culture--to the point where references and parodies turn up in other productions. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and, if that's true, Star Trek is probably one of the most imitated and referenced shows in history.

This week, we'll take a look at some of our favorite occurrences of Star Trek popping up in other media. Joining us for the conversation is our dear friend and fellow podcaster, Hayley Stoddart!

Plus, get the details on Hayley's brand new podcast, SCIENCE STATION 2, coming to the Trek Geeks Network this year!

It's a truly delightful conversation and we hope you'll join us!

Star Trek has always given us things to think about and topics to examine and discuss, but few episodes have generated the type of reaction as the one we'll discuss this week.

We'll continue our salute to Star Trek: Voyager's 25th Anniversary this week as we look at the second season episode, "Tuvix." Part Tuvok, Part Neelix, and all the makings of a legendary hour of the franchise.

Did Captain Janeway do the right thing--and what did it cost her? We'll discuss that and more this week!

Over the decades, Star Trek has provided us with some incredible moments that have run the gamut of emotion. 

In this week's episode, Bill and Dan will examine Trek's best Tearjerkers--those episodes that have provided moments so emotional that they've made us shed a tear or two...or a thousand.

Of course, this is by no means a definitive list. We want to know your picks for Trek's most emotional moments. Let us know!
