Podcasts about Quark

The all seeing eye of a shifty man with an accounting background knows no fear from the Bat'leth as we review "The House of Quark"! As per the usual arrangement our local barman bats well above his average with the ladies and gets wrapped into Klingon politics, uses spreadsheet mastery to survive. Meanwhile Killer Keiko finds out marrying the doorman comes at a cost. 

Baywatch Berlin ist ein Laberpodcast. Kein Dokument der Zeitgeschichte. Kein popkultureller Diskurs. Keine Chronik unserer Zeit. Ein Laberpodcast. Falls irgendein armer Willi jemals etwas anderes in das Geschwafel von Heufer-Umlauf, Schmitt und Lundt reininterpretiert hat, dann wird ihm spätestens mit dieser Folge jede Illusion geraubt. Denn während seriöse Fernsehkünstler wie Böhmermann „die politischen, gesellschaftlichen und juristischen Fragen der Gegenwart dort stellen, wo sie verhandeln werden“, quasselt Baywatch Berlin minutenlang über: einen toten Fisch. Der hat nämlich erst ein paar Badegäste in die Klöten und dann ins Gras gebissen, weil irgendein Judge Dread aus Gunzenhausen seine Dienstwaffe gezückt und das Problem mit dem Klötenkneifer unbürokratisch gelöst hat. Für die Podcastanalyse dieses Zwischenfalls wird sicher kein Museum seine Pforten öffnen. 1:0 Böhmermann. Auch für das zweite „RIESENTHEMA DIESER WOCHE“ wird kein Kunstmäzen das Scheckbuch zücken: Nachdem in der letzten Folge des (bisherigen) Partnerpodcasts „Kaulitz Hills“ eine regelrechte Hass-und Neidtirade auf unsere braven Buben von Baywatch Berlin gefeuert wurde, werden sämtliche Lügen, Anschuldigungen und Verleumdungen analysiert und korrigiert. Hier wird für alle Ewigkeit geklärt, ob „Geld verprassen“ schändlich ist, ob Florida TV eine Kantine hat, wem „die weiße Villa“ gehört und ob man mit einem Videopodcast „ein paar Extramilliönchen“ verdienen kann. Bei diesem Thema werden „die Korridore des Sagbaren, Erkundbaren und Darstellbaren geweitet“, was aber trotzdem nicht fürs Museum, sondern maximal für einen simplen Laberpodcast reicht. Die größte Kunst besteht manchmal auch darin zu wissen, wer man ist und was man kann: Drei Freunde und Kollegen, die ne Stunde labern, rumgiggeln und die Tonaufnahme jede Woche in der Galerie „Baywatch Berlin“ ausstellen.

“Melora” 30th-anniversary reflections Doctor Bashir and Chief O'Brien prepare for the arrival of a new cartographer, Ensign Melora Pazlar. She is the first Elaysian to join Starfleet. Why? Her homeworld has low gravity, which makes it difficult for her people to function in environments common to Starfleet operations. She generally must use a wheelchair to move around, and Bashir has modified a special one for her to use while aboard Deep Space 9. When he and Melora start to fall for one another, Bashir begins searching for a treatment that could allow her to walk. But there's a catch: she would never be able to return to her homeworld for more than a short visit. Meanwhile, some other stuff is happening with Quark. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Melora,”what the story says about challenges and limitations, becoming comfortable with yourself, and how the character connects to the original concept for the series.

Welcome to the place where we get to let our geek flags fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. Holy schmoley we hit 450 levels and you know what that means? Marshall Danny the Deuce and Blue show up for an extravaganza and this time it's not just one but two Torments. We tackle a Part 2 for the MCU and then get weird by making our favorite weirdos from Level 264 battle to the death. Lots of fun and a big way to celebrate a whole butt ton of episodes. Lots of fun getting a little bonkers with the boyohs. The brackets are at the bottom of the notes if you're curious... the rankings for the MCU come from Rotten Tomatoes, Imdb, and metacritic.

Episode Notes Let He Who is Without Sin: Odo is no longer a wet fascist and is now a catty meatbag bitch. Woo spring break on Risa! 90s space fashion. We find out how Curzon died. We're not enjoying incel Worf. Or incel promoter. Bajoran rite of separation, and healthy relationships. Quark and Bashir are blindsided by Leeta. No Ghosting. Worf makes choices. Bashir asks the right questions. What a thoroughly unbalanced episode. We need a Badmiral-adjacent term for scholars who go insanely weird. Ana's thoughts about 24th century academia (and modern academia). Modern connections to this episode. The Ascent: Odo gets to take his boyfriend to a grand jury. Orion Syndicate car bombs. A very long walk. Nog's back! But he's experienced some changes. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

Grab your tastiest sandwich and try not to spoil Twin Peaks as we return to Deep Space 9 with an all-DS9 extravaganza. We're talking about the opening three-parter of season two of Deep Space Nine which, unlike the Augment three-parter of Enterprise we covered (Episode Title- We Have Wrath of Khan at Home), we're discussing and placing on the Big List as one single entry and not three seperate ones. Watch as in ‘The Homecoming,' Kira goes off to rescue Bajor's greatest resistance fighter and gets no end of grief for it, then we see that Odo has an actual friend while Kira has one of those awkward naked dreams while uncovering Bajoran nationalists in ‘The Circle' and then the simmering Bajoran nonsence ends up in some Die Hard antics on the Station as our heroes must endure ‘The Siege' where this should hopefully wrap up. No Vedek Winn's were harmed during the making of these episodes for which we are deeply sorry.EPISODES DISCUSSED: ‘The Homecoming' (11:25), ‘The Circle' (35:11) and ‘The Siege' (56:11)This used to be a TNG episode, Bajoran nonsense, Twin Peaks references (some spoilers removed) the DS9 novel mentioned last episode, Odo pranking Quark, Miles prefers Sisko with no beard, the Return of Grappler Zorn and a digression into G.I.Joe, Frank Langella aka Skeletor, Sisko's better at the ‘We're with Starfleet, we don't lie' than Wesley, Odo has a friend-an actual friend (cue references to ‘The Inbetweeners', Vedek Winn would unapologetically tweet ‘Thoughts and Prayers', The Prime Directive is poorly written legislation, we do a Die-Hard, Bashir would have a pith helmet, Deep Space Nine still working out what it can do and it feels that the Bajor stuff falls by the wayside with much larger threats, Krim wants to be Sisko's big rival, this is all too neat in resolution.

Dr Amit Patel joins Jack, Seann and Sara to talk about his Guide Dogs journey with Kika, the yellow lab - his first guide dog, and Quark, the black lab - his second. Amit lost his sight in 2013, he's a prolific disabilities campaigner who believes in the power of community, and he tells about The Big Lunch happening across the country on the 7th & 8th June. It's a truly inspirational and fascinating conversation you won't want to miss!

Episode Notes Continuing our tradition of being totally unstuck in time, CONCLAVE DISCUSSION WARNING. And also we're doing some episodes out of order, sorry. Things Past: We go back to Terok Nor. Quark the collaborator. Dukat is so gross. Cardassian justice, the speed thereof. Another changeling? An Odo morality play. Maybe Garak episodes are only funny when Bashir is there. Rapture: Time for some Indiana Jonesing, and MDMA? New uniforms, and more Bajoran religion. Incontrovertible proof that Sisko is the emissary, which is super complicated for Kai Winn. Odo is probably a Master and Commander fan. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network. Connect with the show at @babylonpod.page Help us keep the lights on via our Patreon!

A wacky camping adventure turns into a series defining nightmare as we review the close of DS9's second season with "The Jem'Hadar"! The goofy odd couple antics of Sisko and Quark is interrupted when the Actual Plot rolls in. The Gamma Quad Murder Hobos make quite a statement to draw the USS Odyssey, and then things definitely get much worse.

Guten Morgen! Epoch Times hat Staatsrechtler Dr. Ulrich Vosgerau um eine Einschätzung zum AfD-Verfassungsschutzbericht gebeten. Seine Zusammenfassung in aller Kürze: „Es ist größtenteils Quark“. Dann untersuchen wir, wie es um die Reparaturfähigkeit von Solaranlagen, Windrädern und Co. steht. Zudem geht es darum, was die Ampel-Ex-Minister jetzt machen und wie viel Geld sie nach dem Regierungsende bekommen. Ich verrate schon mal so viel: Abgesichert sind sie durch Übergangs- und Ruhestandsgehälter und eine „rechtliche Fiktion“.

Diese Folge „Baywach Berlin“ war überhaupt nur möglich, weil Schmittis Grundschullehrer nicht mit im Studio saß. Sonst hätte er, wie es Schmitti noch aus seiner Kindheit bezeugen kann, sicher alle drei Podcastern für jede einzelne Ansicht verprügelt und verdroschen. Lundt dafür, dass er dem größten Künstler der Gegenwart: Pablo Picasso dessen Ficki Ficki und Nackedei Vergangenheit nochmal auf die Leinwand schmiert, Klaas Heufer-Umlauf dafür dass er bei der Formulierung „Wir gehen rein“ kein sofortiges Verbot für alle Nutzer*innen ausspricht und Thomas Schmitt hätte eben genau dafür eine gesemmelt bekommen, dass er als anderen Mitschülern eine gesemmelt wurde, nur froh war selber keine gesemmelt zu bekommen. Darwin im Mikrokosmos. Die drei Podcaster müssen durchatmen. Wie gut ist doch der gesellschaftliche Wandel und die Weiterentwicklung! Schön, dass heute in Schulen kein Kind mehr für eine falsche Antwort eine geknallt bekommt und genauso schön, dass es heutzutage Podcast gibt in denen man eh völlig ungesühnt „seinen Quark“ von sich geben kann. Eben sowas wie - wer von den dreien würde ALF den außerirdischen aus der TV-Serie direkt bei der Polente verpfeifen und wer würde so krass mit ihm angeben, bis ihn der Tierschutz abholt und er 40 Jahre später neben dem Trigema Affen und Bubbles im Tierheim stirbt. Korrekt! Die Antwort lautet: Klaas Heufer-Umlauf! Setzen 1+ und die neue Folge „Baywatch Berlin“ hören! Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

NINE OWN SELF. This month's animated spotlight features a pair of episodes that go to great lengths to give our cartoon characters some badly needed introspection. Rutherford learns about his bad boy former self and Tendi is pressed to assert the woman she wants to be over her culture's demands. Oh, and there's plenty of nostalgia for Bryan with a trip to Deep Space Nine. But will he and Katie Hampton from the Napping Through Happy Hour Podcast give these episodes TREKs, MARRYs, or KILLs? The grades begin at (26:44).

10. Juni 1996: Dr. Orpax stellt Quark eine kolossale Fehldiagnose – doch anstatt sich zu freuen, dass er nicht am Dorek-Syndrom verendet, hadert der Bartender mit den Urfesten seiner eigenen Kultur. Lässt er sich als Ferengi von Garak meucheln – oder lebt er als ohrläppchenloser Vertragsbrecher weiter? Zudem hat eine Schwangerschaft in der echten Welt verblüffende Konsequenzen für die Bildschirmfamilie O'Brien. In Deutschland: Quarks Schicksal, ausgestrahlt am 11. November 1996.

“Invasive Procedures” 30th-anniversary reflections With the station all but abandoned due to a plasma storm, a skeleton crew of Sisko, Kira, Jadzia, Bashir, Odo, O'Brien, and Quark are easily overpowered by an unjoined Trill hell-bent on sticking the Dax symbiont in his belly. This feeble man named Verad feels that he has been condemned to a life of mediocrity because he wasn't chosen for joining. If he could only have a symbiont of his own, all would be well, and his girlfriend would especially love him. Doing his research, he found that Dax was the ideal match, and so he has come to the station with the help of Klingon mercenaries to take what he thinks is rightfully his. He almost succeeds, but made one fatal mistake: “never call me Benjamin.” In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Invasive Procedures”how the intimate story sheds light on Trill society and the relationship between symbiont and host.

Nothing quite like the local highly charismatic genocidal bad guy to be your zany road trip partner as we review "The Maquis Pt 2". While Cal Hudson still sucks, everything else about this episode is rad. We got fights against Space Toyota Technicals, plenty of sinister dialogue, and we even get to see Quark win an argument with The World's Hottest Vulcan. 

Episode Notes Lots of hot takes in our intro. Dax negging Worf. Quark's ex-wife! Worf... picks on Morn, and then pretends to be a traditional Klingon. Worf sulks in a corner while Dax and Quark talk about Grilka. Is Worf a Klingon weeb, or is he just autistic? Quark has to fight another Klingon. Quark meat puppet time! Dax victorious. Oh yeah there's a b-plot too! The OTHER O'Briens. Polyamorous domesticity. Meat Odo's surprisingly interested in gossip. Miles and Kira feel the fanfiction. Of all the male characters on station, does Kira have the most chemistry with Miles? The Enterprise is a place where people work, DS9 is a place where people live.

“The Cloud” 30th-anniversary reflections Several weeks into their journey home, both Janeway and Voyager find their energy reserves running low. For the captain, a simple trip to what used to be her private dining room for a cup of Neelix's even better than coffee substitute might be all that's needed. For the ship, however, a trip into a mysterious nebula is required. Voyager is hungry for omicron particles, and there seems to be a rich supply just ahead. But this cloud is not what it seems, and Janeway may need to turn to her animal guide to save the crew. In this episode of To The Journey, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Voyager, one episode at a time.

“The Circle” 30th-anniversary reflections The plans of the Bajoran group known as The Circle become clear thanks to an unexpected source—Quark—who has been newly christened Odo's number-one deputy (Quark's words). The group is being supplied with weapons by another unexpected source, the Cardassians. Who's running The Circle? Well, that's also a bit unexpected. But one thing that is clear from the start is that Vedek Bareil has the hots for Kira. It's all setup in the middle part of Star Trek's first three-parter. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time.

This week, AJ, Mike, and Chris beam aboard Star Trek: The Experience, a one-of-a-kind immersive attraction that brought fans into the final frontier in the most Vegas way possible. From Klingon kidnappings to Quark's Bar and even weddings on the bridge of the Enterprise, this was no ordinary theme park experience.We dive into how Las Vegas rebranded itself as a family destination in the '90s, the abandoned dream of a full-size Enterprise downtown, and the Hilton's transformation into a Trekker's paradise. Relive iconic moments from Klingon Encounter, brave the Borg Invasion 4D, and explore everything from the gift shops and museum to the walkaround characters and their surprisingly deep lore.Plus, what killed this incredible attraction just before Trek's 2009 comeback? And how did it influence the next generation of theme park storytelling?Things We Talked AboutThe failed $150 million Enterprise replica project for downtown VegasThe rise of family-focused attractions on the Strip, including MGM Grand Adventures and Luxor's Sega arcadeThe Las Vegas Hilton's surprising Star Trek connectionKlingon Encounter and its groundbreaking transporter illusionBorg Invasion 4D and how Voyager influenced its creationDeep dive into the museum, Quark's Bar (Warp Core Breach, anyone?), and character interactionsThe closure of the Experience and its legacy in themed entertainmentWatch and Read MoreHollywood Reporter: The Star Trek SagaMusings of a Middle-Aged GeekMemory Alpha: Star Trek: The ExperienceStarTrek.com: Remembering Star Trek: The ExperienceYouTube: Walkthrough Video 1YouTube: Walkthrough Video 2Follow UsBlue SkyTwitter/XFacebookThreadsInstagramEmail us your memories or questions: 90sDisneyPodcast@gmail.com

We are somehow on yet another episode about Quark getting laid as we review "Profit and Loss"! Garak and our favorite bartender are two great tastes that taste great together as we have an episode of romance, intrigue, and an complete lack of coherent storytelling in the final act...but hey, who cares when the rest is this good!

“The Homecoming” 30th-anniversary reflections Life on the station seems to be back to normal as we head into Season 2. People are enjoying dabo. Quark is up to something. Odo is investigating. Jake has a date. But things quickly go sideways with the arrival of an earring. Recognizing a legendary resistance fighter's insignia on the jewelry, Kira leads a mission to retrieve him from a Cardassian prison camp, potentially starting a war in the process. Thankfully, Gul Dukat prefers to cover his butt rather than start shooting. Factions on Bajor, however, have less peaceful intentions as they first tag the station walls before moving on to Quark's head.

In a double bill with Too Hot for TV - it's Quarkmania! Joe, Dylan and Frazer embark on a Quark (and Dominator) filled spy thriller from the Lethbridge-Stewart range...

Sometimes it's a boring day in the Trek office as we review "Shadowplay"! Nothing but a lot of old man actors not pronouncing words right in the A plot, but hey - at least we find out Quark isn't above nefariously getting Kira laid so as to commit crimes! 

Quark is about to go broke...again. So what do you do? Traffic in illegal weapons, of course!

Quark is about to go broke...again. So what do you do? Traffic in illegal weapons, of course!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 11, 2025 is: quark • KWORK • noun Quark is a word used in physics to refer to any one of several types of very small particles that make up matter. // Quarks, which combine together to form protons and neutrons, come in six types, or flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. See the entry > Examples: “One quantum field is special because its default value can change. Called the Higgs field, it controls the mass of many fundamental particles, like electrons and quarks. Unlike every other quantum field physicists have discovered, the Higgs field has a default value above zero. Dialing the Higgs field value up or down would increase or decrease the mass of electrons and other particles. If the setting of the Higgs field were zero, those particles would be massless.” — Matt Von Hippel, Wired, 19 Aug. 2024 Did you know? If you were a physics major, chances are that James Joyce didn't make it onto your syllabus. While literature majors are likely more familiar with his work, Joyce has a surprising tie to physics. In the early 1960s, American physicist Murray Gell-Man came up with the word quork, which he used to refer to his concept of an elementary particle smaller than a proton or neutron (by his own account he was in the habit of using names like “squeak” and “squork” for peculiar objects). He later settled on the spelling quark after reading a line from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake: “Three quarks for Muster Mark! / Sure he has not got much of a bark / And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.” The name stuck and has been used by physicists ever since.
