Sounds like a great podcast topic, doesn't it? But no, it's the title of the new episode of Star Trek -- Strange New Worlds Season 3 Episode 7: "What is Starfleet?" We finally get to see the documentary that Beto Ortegas has been working on all season, exploring what Starfleet and the Federation are all about. Motives are questioned, uncomfortable truths are uncovered, and tough calls are made. In the end, does Beto get the answers he seeks or expects?

This week Scotty performs miracles on the Farragut, Pelia hardwires the Enterprise for landlines, and Kirk starts to become KIRK in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Episode 6, "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail." It's a Kirk episode, so you know Keith will have thoughts!

Job obligations and SDCC announcements derailed our attempts to bring you a show reviewing last week's episode, so this week we're going to do our best to talk about two episodes -- "Shuttle to Kenfori" (episode 3) and "A Space Adventure Hour" (episode 4). It's ambitious, but I think we can do it!

The EARTH STATION TREK crew had originally planned to talk about the latest Strange New Worlds episode tonight, but we have SO MUCH NEWS from San Diego Comic-Con 2025 to discuss! We got THREE new trailers -- STARFLEET ACADEMY, KAHN, and a teaser for Strange New Worlds Season 4 -- plus Starfleet Academy cast and character details, and even a little bit of product news! We’ll be going over everything in as much detail as we can!

We're one week away from the debut of STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 3, and it looks like we have a couple of gimmick episodes coming up, so we thought we'd talk about some of our favorite gimmick episodes from past years. You know the ones, those episodes with a high concept, or silly concept, that are deliberately trying to attract attention with the "gimmick". We'll have a lot of different examples, and I'm sure we'll each have a different definition we'll be working from.

This week we will be joined by our good buddy Nick Wright to talk about civilian life and jobs in the Federation. Sounds pretty mundane, but there's actually some very interesting angles to explore here. We'll be talking about what life is like within the Federation as well as some jobs held by civilians on Starbases and even Starships. And we'll speculate wildly about what we can possibly expect from the sitcom that Tawny Newsome is developing which looks more at the civilian side of Federation life!
