Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast

In the wake of our own 10th anniversary and Star Trek's 60th, we're joined by our unofficial 4th chair, our most regular Guest, Story Artist for Animation, David Trumble, to discuss the first ever Season of Star Trek, Season 1 or The Original Series, as we pick out some hidden gems from the run to help lay waste to the Futurama myth of "79 episodes, about 30 good ones".

To celebrate Star Trek's 60th Anniversary (and our own 10th Anniversary), the Spocklight crew went on an away mission to journey along the Star Trek trail at the Science Museum and review the experience, then we give our thoughts on the Trek panels at Comic-Con this year which thankfully don't feel out of date as not a jot of new major news has dropped since!
