This week we take a look at some of our favorite recurring Star Trek characters – those characters who add color, depth and dimension to the various shows. They may be antagonists, they may be comic relief, they may flesh out the various Starfleet crews, or they may be extreme outliers. Whomever or whatever they are, the Trekverse would be a much duller place without them!

2 TONE RECORDS

This week we’re joined by author Daniel Rachel, whose book Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story: Rude Boys, Racism, and the Soundtrack of a Generation, which transports us to the late 70s and the explosion of 2 Tone Records, the home of such recording artists as The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, The (English) Beat, The Bodysnatchers, and more. Our conversation goes beyond the music, though, and touches upon the socio-political environment in which 2 Tone existed, and the history and truths that the artists brought to light about social issues, racism, class, and gender struggles. 

You can buy your copy of Too Much Too Young HERE.

Visit Daniel’s website HERE.

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 1 “Shockwave Part II,” but only Jamie has actually watched the episode. The Suliban have taken over the Enterprise, Captain Archer is stuck in the future, and Star Fleet is considering canceling the entire deep space program. The only way to save it is for Archer to give a rousing speech over a Teams call about that time he saw a gazelle give birth in Africa, but will it be enough?
