With Starfleet Academy on its way, we thought it would be fun to explore the possible courses cadets need to take while attending the Academy. Chuck, Kreg and I have come up with a wide-ranging curriculum. But we also put the call out to our listeners for their suggestions. We’re going to go through the curriculum year by year, but in some cases we may do the full 4 years of a particular course of studies, just so you can see the logical progression.

Before we begin our main mission, I have a question from Listener Kyle:
What is the significance of your ratings?
Some seem to struggle over awarding half points for no perceivable
reason. What’s the difference between 7.5 and 8 McGuffins?
When I replay an audiobook for background listening, that book series is
at least a 8 out of 10 stars in my personal opinion.
I won’t recommend a movie / TV show/ author / book series unless it is 9
out of 10 stars.
