Trailer

ENGAGE!

Episode 1: Alex & Lucy Boldly Go

The first episode, introducing Alex, Lucy, how they got into trek and DIY music, and their pitches for a new Trek show.

Episode 2: Time Is A Construct (with Brian Cullen)

Alex and Lucy talk with Brian Cullen (Yearbooks, Elle, Anopheli) about deep sea trek, above land trekking, SoCal punk rock, and what the hell anyone needs a doctorate for anyway.
 
*Alex's audio is a bit ropey for the first few minutes - hang in there, it evens out!

Episode 3: The Dreamer, The Dream, and The Downfall of Capitalism (with Kris Udekwu)

Lucy and Alex talk with Kris Udekwu (Beau Navire, Yearbooks, Elle, ðraft class) about hammock strategies, the best Trek wedding speeches, lessons from Midsomer, and what ChatGPT and Majel Barrett (maysherestinpeace) have in common.

Episode 4: The World of Work

Join Lucy and Alex as they navigate the world of work: potscrubbing, scientology, #oldpunk, chronic illness, solarpunk, deep sea meatballs, Trek role models... oh yeah, and employment.

Episode 5: Lemon And Herb Shinzon (with Alice Hadland)

Alex and Lucy talk with Alice Hadland about the things we do for thrash bands, why people don't do Trek stand up, the terrible fate of reindeer robots, what Spock does at a stitch and bitch, and one specific exception to ACAB.

Episode 6: The Pootriarchy (with Hugo Powell)

Join Alex and Lucy as they catch up with podcaster, musician, and Trek fan Hugo Powell. Explore the worlds of the very literal shitty patriarchy, why you never catch a Starfleet ship in the galactic centre, the secret to Ferengi gender, the "dad float", and what you can't control about gorillas.

Episode 7: The Backwards Butterfly Effect (with Mo)

Join Lucy and Alex as they explore Star Trek and DIY punk music through the eyes of father, part-time violinist, and professional-tier shower taker, Mo. Journey through conversations including but not limited to: the power of fraudulent crumpets, explaining warp nacelles to toddlers, quantum mysticism, aphantasia, Ashton Kutcher's surprising best work, and potentially the darkest secret of Star Trek we've all missed.

Episode 8: A Bone of Contention (with David Porter)

Join Alex and Lucy as they chat with David (Ageless Oblivion, Employed to Serve, Odoacer) about dinosaurs, the blood supply of feathers, sentient holonovel characters, socially responsible moshing, Picard's Starfleet Hinge profile, the GOAT movie soundtrack, and what makes grey plastic so disgustingly addictive.
Bands mentioned on this episode include Jane's Addiction, NOFX, Throats, Year of no Light, Nile, Ancient Lights, Dinomania, Empress, Man Is The Bastard, Soundgarden, Downfall of Gaia, From Ashes Rise, and many many more! ❤️

Episode 9: You've Made Your Bed, Now It's Time To Have No Eyebrows In It (The USS Friendship)

This episode is a big love letter to friendship. We promise it's not vomit-inducing (OK, we can't promise that, but we did try).
 
It covers, among other things:
The reality of scabies
Famous proverbs around having no eyebrows
The blood of the covenant
Different types of activism
Favourite Trek friendships (and the most questionable)
Safe spaces and being friends with the galaxy
What you should do if a famous author calls when you're in the shower
Two pitches for new shows where one of them might now seem.... Remarkably familiar
Who the real aliens are
Autism coding in Trek
The great friend breakup taboo
Damon and Pythias
It also does a breathless and poorly-recorded roundup of the Destination: Star Trek convention we went to recently! Where we saw a bunch of awesome Trek fans and cast, including Martin Quinn, Andre Dae Kim, Chase Masterson, and Connor Trinneer.
