Welcome to another Star Trek special. 

This week we’ll be entering the Nexus, a place where time means nothing, and you can go anywhere you want, and have anything your heat desires. So I am hoping it drops me off at Star Trek 2

And joining me to tie an energy ribbon round Enterprise B is Paul Litchfield.

Hello and welcome to SMERSHPOD, I’m your host John Rain. This time for another of our extra special compilation episodes where we’ve taken the very best parts of SMERSHes gone by, edited them together, realised it’s only 3 minutes long, and then sifted through the bin to see how we can bulk out the running time. 

Today we’re opening up the 2023 SMERSH vault.

Over the next 45 minutes you’ll be hearing from galaxies far, far away, heroes from long, long ago, and another set of adjectives to be inserted here in the final script, must check that before recording.
