[Hailing Frequencies Open]
This week on Treks and Tangents, we’re testing nerves, egos, and bluffing skills with The Corbomite Maneuver, the episode that asks: what if your greatest weapon is confidence? Our co-hosts react to giant glowing cubes, impossible threats, and one of Kirk’s boldest gambits. Will we learn the truth behind these mysteries? Will we pronounce 'Corbomite' correctly? Can we tell the difference between a window and a viewscreen? Tune in and find out!

December 16, 2025 Dagger of the Mind (Star Trek TOS - S1E10)
Send us Fan Mail
[Hailing Frequencies Open]
Strap in for a mind-bending trip to Tantalus V as Treks and Tangents tackles Dagger of the Mind. Kirk and Dr. Helen Noel visit a “therapeutic” penal colony that promises peace, love, and zero violence… which is Star Trek shorthand for "something is very wrong". We’re talking brainwashing machines, shady doctors, glowing visuals, and the age-old Trek question: what if the real danger is therapy? Join us as we dissect psychology, Vulcan Mind Melds, and why Starfleet really needs better background checks.

December 09, 2025 Miri (Star Trek TOS - S1E09)
Send us Fan Mail
[Hailing Frequencies Open]
In this week’s episode, we boldly go where puberty has gone horribly wrong. Join us as Kirk, Spock, Janice and McCoy beam down to a planet full of kids who haven’t aged in 300 years—but still somehow manage to form a full-blown Lord of the Flies cosplay group. We’ll talk tricycles, purple plague spots, and why screaming “Bonk! Bonk!” might be the least effective communication strategy in Federation history.

[Hailing Frequencies Open]
On this episode, we discuss Star Trek’s most dysfunctional robot family drama: Andrea pines, Ruk looms, and Kirk tries very hard not to get turned into a glorified action figure.

[Hailing Frequencies Open]
Harry Mudd: A man of fake chest hair, many fashions, and even more accents. A fantastic villain is introduced to Star Trek, but unfortunately under the umbrella of a problematic episode.

Are we all half good and half evil, or are the two sides of the coin more complicated? Tough topics to trek through, and unicorn dogs to distract us on tangents.
