Visiting the Past and Discovering the Future

We kick off our 2026 in a big way as we celebrate the 60th Anniversary Year of Star Trek with a show built for fans who love both the history and the future of the franchise. This premiere is all about connection. Connection to the real places where Star Trek was made and connection to where the universe is headed next.

First up, we're joined by Larry "Dr. Trek" Nemecek and Teras Cassidy from Geek Nation Tours to talk about Exploring Trek shooting locations. From iconic West Coast filming sites to the unforgettable landscapes of Nevada's Valley of Fire, we'll dive into what makes these locations so special and why standing where Star Trek history was made hits differently in an anniversary year. If you've ever wanted to walk in the footsteps of your favorite crews, this conversation is for you.

Then we shift gears to the future with a spoiler-light discussion of the premiere of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. We'll share our impressions of the first two episodes, what immediately grabbed us, and where the series feels like it's boldly going. From tone to characters to themes, we'll break down what's working and what we're excited to see develop as the season unfolds.

It's the perfect way to launch a new season of Trek Geeks: Thursday Night Geeks. Part celebration, part exploration, and part thoughtful fandom chat with friends. Whether you're planning your next Trek adventure or just settling in to watch the next chapter of Star Trek begin, this Season Two premiere sets the tone for what's ahead.

EMMY AND ACADEMY AWARD WINNER

This week, we're beyond thrilled to welcome a true legend of Star Trek and Hollywood craftsmanship — the one and only Doug Drexler! From his early days in the makeup department on Star Trek: The Next Generation to his groundbreaking work in visual effects on Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and Battlestar Galactica, Doug's creative fingerprint can be found across some of the most beloved moments in science fiction. He's an Academy Award and Emmy Award winner, a designer, an artist, and above all, a lifelong fan whose passion for Trek helped shape the look and feel of entire eras of the franchise.

Doug joins us to talk about his incredible career and his newest adventure — the upcoming documentary Trek Star, now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Directed by Jason Smith, Trek Star explores how a kid from the Bronx became one of Star Trek's most influential creative minds, chronicling a career that's as inspiring as it is entertaining. From the bridge of the Enterprise to the design labs of Hollywood, this is the story of a fan who truly made his dreams real.

We'll dive into Doug's time in makeup on Dick Tracy, his collaboration with icons like Michael and Denise Okuda, his work designing for Star Trek: Enterprise and Picard, and his love for the fans who have supported him throughout his journey. Expect laughs, insight, and heartfelt reflection as we celebrate one of Star Trek's most passionate visionaries.

This is an unforgettable conversation with the incomparable Doug Drexler — a man who embodies the creative spirit of Trek itself. This is one episode you won't want to miss.

Join Bill and Dan as they revisit the highs and lows of this legendary season, from iconic episodes like Amok Time and The Trouble with Tribbles to some… less memorable outings.

As the host of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast and Planet Zero: An Original Science Fiction Story, Brian brings a deep love of classic sci-fi and some strong opinions about TOS Season 2.

Get ready for fun, laughs, and maybe even a few surprises as we break it all down!

Whether you're a longtime Trekkie or just discovering The Original Series, this episode is packed with nostalgia, insight, and plenty of friendly banter.

In this special crossover episode of Discovering Trek, Dan and Bill are honored to have Noah Averbach-Katz join them for a special discussion about his time on Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 as the Andorian, Ryn.  The character quickly became one of the most popular of the season and Noah got to live out every Star Trek fans dream by playing a role in our beloved universe.

During our conversation, we discuss his fandom when he was young, what it was like to be directed by the Star Trek legend Jonathan Frakes, and what it was like to work with his wife Mary Wiseman, aka Sylvia Tilly.  Along the way we also find out just how...interesting it was to film scenes with the Queen herself - Grudge the cat!

Bill and Dan cannot thank Noah enough for joining them on the podcast, and they hope you enjoy the conversation as much as they did on Discovering Trek!

In the second year of the Trek Geeks Podcast, Dan started doing puns during our weekly thanks to the band Five Year Mission. Before too long, those evolved into Farkisms--where he'd take the name of drummer Andy Fark and turn that into some kind of pun on an episode name.

For years, people have been asking us of an episode of just the Farkisms, and there are so many, we had to break it up! So, this week, enjoy our first installment of Farkisms in "Farking Awesome, Volume 1!"

2020 is coming to a close and that means it's time for a long standing tradition here on Trek Geeks!

In 2015, we started to include our pre/post-show banter as a little clip after the end theme of the podcast and, since then, it's really taken on a life of its own. It provides a tiny glimpse into our friendship and typically has us laughing quite a bit.

This week we conclude our two part 2020 Outtakes Special, featuring all of the "Bing Bong" moments from throughout the year.

We hope you all have a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!

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.

It's The Augments Arc this week on the Flagship of the Trek Geeks Podcast Network!

Join us for a lively discussion of this holosuite caper that combines Star Trek's charm with a healthy dose of spy genre flair.

But wait—there's more! The guys simply can't help themselves, so prepare for an avalanche of references to James Bond, Austin Powers, Our Man Flint, and even Matt Helm. From Sean Connery's suave moves to Mike Myers' groovy antics, nothing is off-limits as they connect the dots between 1960s spy kitsch and the future of Starfleet.

You'll laugh, you'll groan (at Dan, mostly), and you might even be inspired to watch a Bond flick or two after this episode. Is this their most over-the-top discussion yet? Possibly. Is it a blast? Absolutely. Don't miss it!

Grab your gadgets, geeks—this mission is about to self-destruct in 3… 2… 1…

Five categories. Twenty-five questions. One gargantuan bonus round.

This week, Stump The Geek gets turned on its ear. Dan will face a board of questions designed to torture him. He's never faced a challenge like this and this week, we'll see how well his two brain cells recall random trivia!

This one's guaranteed to be an instant Stump the Geek classic!

In the news this week, an interesting photo from the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour, a special award for Star Trek, and a rebranding of CBS All Access in 2021. Join Bill & Dan for a look at this week's stories!

It's time for The News From TrekNews.net!

This week, Bill and Dan look at cast additions to Star Trek: Discovery, the new offerings of Star Trek Wines, an update from FanSets, the new OFFICIAL Star Trek podcast (which still isn't us), a special guest star on Star Trek: Lower Decks, and reaction to the Star Trek: Discovery third season trailer which debuted on Star Trek Day!

They've boldly gone and explored strange new worlds. They've made the decisions of life and death for those under their command. They've upheld the best traditions of Starfleet.

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.

A new 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!

This is definitely one of Voyager's best and we can't wait to talk about it as our celebration of #Voyager25 rolls on!
