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.

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!

Bill and Dan return to the mic and take on the classic DS9 episode, "Little Green Men!" On a trip to deliver Nog to Starfleet Acadamy in Quark's brand new shuttle, Quark, Rom, and Nog time travel and crash land in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 becoming the first extra terrestrials to visit Earth--and possibly to negotiate a deal for profit! Will Quark take over the planet? How will they get home? Plus, don't forget about the premiere of "Thursday Night Geeks," the livestream from Trek Geeks premiering on Thursday, January 30th at 8pm ET! Are you ready for some Star Trek? ;)

This week on Trek Geeks, Bill and Dan are donning their tuxedos (metaphorically, of course) and ordering their martinis "shaken, not stirred" as they dive into the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine classic, Our Man Bashir! 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…

VIVA LAS VEGAS! Dan and Bill returned from their annual trip to the Star Trek Family Reunion and had a blast--even though it took Bill forever to edit this episode. Seriously, blame him for why the Trek Geeks haven't been in your ear holes. There was probably a better way to say that. Sorry.  You'll get the full breakdown on their experience at STLV 2024: the good, the bad, and the potential for change. Plus, hear why Bill FINALLY enjoyed staying at the Rio for the first time in TEN YEARS! But wait, there's more! Audio from inside the vendor hall with Dan and Bill with special guest appearances from Lew from FanSets and also our first ever guest on Trek Geeks nearly ten years ago: Michele Specht! It's a super-sized episode and we hope you enjoy it! (Again, still Bill's fault.)

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. There's some Star Trek in this episode, so all is not lost. However, if you want to hear the origins of the phrases "turkey neck" and "man up or s*it in your hat" in their lives, then be sure to listen all the way through. [Please do not operate any heavy machinery or vehicles while listening to this episode. We are not responsible if you fall asleep.]

The Flagship returns! (We know--we're pretty excited, too.)

By the end of the discussion, listeners will have gained a comprehensive understanding of the impact of Season 3 on the Star Trek canon. I mean, that's kinda what happens, but not really.

WEEK OF JUNE 28, 2023 Bill and Dan look at the shocking cancelation of Star Trek: Prodigy after one season, and its removal from the Paramount+ streaming service.

In episode 301 of Trek Geeks, Dan and Bill dive into the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery, "The Vulcan Hello."  The episode begins with Commander Michael Burnham and the crew of the USS Shenzhou investigating a mysterious object in space. When they discover it is a Klingon vessel, tensions rise as the Klingons reveal they are there to protect their territory from the Federation. This leads to a deadly confrontation that sets the tone for the rest of the season. How did they feel about the return of Star Trek to television after twelve years? Find out this week! (Don't forget, when you listen to this one, don't spoil the surprise that's dropped for anyone else!  #IKnow!) It's the start of 5 consecutive episodes of The Flagship, get ready and strap in!

Bill and Dan are back after an unintended and unscheduled hiatus to celebrate their 300th episode! They've planned this episode several times. At first, there were going to be special guests. Then, after that plan was scrapped, they were going to have someone else host Episode 300. After careful deliberation, they decided that the best way to celebrate such an epic landmark was to take it back to basics. So, in this episode, you'll get the guys talking about their friendship and the history of Trek Geeks--and they'll also work in some questions from the Trek Geeks Patreonicles and voice mails from Camp Khitomer! Sincere thanks to everyone that has ever taken the time to listen to the podcast. You are all a part of this journey and the fabric of Trek Geeks and, for that, Bill and Dan are truly grateful. Here's to 1,000 more!

Hello and welcome to the 40th episode of Rewind!! Can you believe it? We can't! but don't worry, the jokes are as same as the ones in episode 4, 17, 25...you know the drill. Join Haley and Sara today as they sit down to discuss that time travel Riker episode, Future Imperfect. Riker wakes up and 16 years have passed, he's the Captain, and Admiral Picard is hanging out on a Romulan ship? Riker has a son?!

In this month's episode of the ConPod, we are joined by the host of the WeeklyTrek podcast Alex Perry, one of the hosts of the Trek Geeks podcast Bill Smith and, for her 2nd apperance on the ConPod, Brooke Horton. Our panel will do a deep dive introduction to the 57 Year Mission Convention in Las Vegas (STLV) this coming August! Some of the topics we discuss are transportation (flying to Vegas and getting around once you're there), hotel options (we look at the Rio, the Gold Coast and everything in between) as well as an indepth breakdown of all of the various ticket tiers.

Just a few weeks ago, we were incredibly fortunate to be joined by so many of our Star Trek icons to support the Hollywood Food Coalition in TREKtalks2. Plus, with the help of this amazing fandom, we were able to beat last year's total and then some! This week, we bring are proud to bring you some of the highlights of that day. We'll be joined first by Enterprise's John Billingley to talk about how TREKtalks2 went and get his thoughts on the day--as well as an updated total on fundraising! Then, we bring you the audio of our conversation with the Captain of the Enterprise himself, Anson Mount from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds! After that, it's the Captain of the first Enterprise--the one and only Scott Bakula from Star Trek: Enterprise!

It's become a tradition on the Trek Geeks Podcast and one of the most requested episodes we publish every year--the annual Airing of the Outtakes! In this first installment of the Outtakes Special, hear Bill and Dan's pre-show conversations from throughout the year. If you listen past the end theme of every episode, you've heard these in small doses. Now, you get them in their own episode. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll seek therapy*. (* = Trek Geeks cannot be held responsible for any therapy you may seek as the result of listening to the podcast.) Happy New Year, one and all!
