Trek Geeks: A Star Trek Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

After an unscheduled week off (sorry about that, everyone) we're back and we're continuing our celebration of #Voyager25 in a big way!

Airing in 1997, "Year of Hell" quickly established itself as one of Voyager's best outings and a standout in the entire Star Trek franchise.

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.

This week, Bill and Dan discuss an online petition to make LeVar Burton the next host of "Jeopardy!", Anson Mount's new search for alien life in the galaxy, and the passing of a key figure in Star Trek history.

This week, Bill & Dan look at the second season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Time Squared!"

This episode has long been one of Bill's favorites, and even Future Bill from six hours from now, too. It's one of the Season 2 standouts--even for a bottle show--and it shows why Patrick Stewart was at the top of the Call Sheet.

It's an episode that Dan initially said to skip in the Season 2 See It or Skip It--Find out why we he's changed his vote on #TheFlagship!
