You may recall my previous thread, http://forum.dvdtalk.com/tv-talk/602...-trekkies.html, where I asked for podcast title suggestions. The podcast has now been released!

http://oncamazotz.com/2012/09/06/tre...ock-was-right/

My cohost, a non-Trekkie, and I, a Trekkie, examine two episodes of the Star Trek franchise a week. From the beginning. We'll finish in about seven years.

Give it a listen and if you like it, please rate it in iTunes!

A thumbs up to the title you chose. I like it.

Any tips to finding this in iTunes? A search for "Trekabout" yielded nothing.

Try "The Borg ARE a Species."

Tracer Bullet

Hrm. It may not have hit yet. That is annoying. iTunes is slow to approve things sometimes. I'll keep an eye on it and update accordingly.

Thanks for looking, I appreciate it!

I thought this thread was about the movie "Trekkies 2", which i was actually in

Check out the Google Doodle for the 46th Anniversary of Star Trek today.

Can you briefly describe how the format is going to go?

Tracer Bullet

Sure! We're doing two episodes per week, starting with the original pilots and continuing on until we reach the very end:

Original Series
Animated Series
Original Series movies
Next Generation (and movies)
Deep Space Nine
Voyager
Enterprise
Abrams' movies

Sometimes we may switch it up, but we'll always decide that ahead of time and give a heads-up at the end of the previous episode.

Each episode will cover themes, characters, television tropes, and my cohost asks questions about the franchise. We've actually recorded a few already and I think his fresh reactions are really interesting. For example, he HATED a really well-regarded episode.

And who knows, by the time we get to the end, there might be a new show to cover!

Be interesting if you did TOS movies as well before TNG - then work in Generations and TNG films as well.

Supermallet

Yeah, I feel like the movies are integral to why Star Trek was so loved (and then hated) by many. And if you're doing the Abrams films, there's no reason not to do the others.

Tracer Bullet

Oh, we are! We're doing the TOS movies after TAS and the TNG movies after TNG.

Just subscribed. As someone who just made her way through the Trek universe I say good luck!

I can't believe you forgot DeForest Kelley's name.

I think I have early-onset dementia. It can't be that I'm just getting old... right?

Tracer Bullet

Thanks! I appreciate it.

I'm having issues with listening to this in Itunes.

Tracer Bullet

I just tested it and it worked for me. Do other podcasts work for you in iTunes?

I find that the iTunes store has been having more connectivity issues lately, in general.

wishbone

A fun and interesting listen, thanks Tracer.

Tracer Bullet

Thanks!

I listened to it in MP3. Pretty good stuff. Liked it when you guys got into a discussion about the color schemes in the starship, had me laughing at how 'geeky' this was.

Good stuff, I'll subscribe, once I can figure it out (I have itunes, so not sure how to add it)

Tracer Bullet

Thanks!

If you can't get the link to work, you can go into the iTunes store, search for "Trekabout" and hit "Subscribe Free".

I can't believe you are going to do every episode. There are some really crappy episodes, so It will be interesting to hear you guys try to pull some topics of conversation of them lol.

Ok subscribed, rated and left a review.

Have you shared this at the large trek sites?
