This is a J.R. Watches Star Trek For The First Time/Turning Trekkie Crossover!!! In today's episode, two different fan franchises will be discussed. Star Trek: New Voyages, is a fan-created science fiction webseries designed as a continuation of the original Star Trek, beginning in the fifth and final year of the starship Enterprise's "five-year mission." Star Trek: Continues is also a fan series that bridges the gap between The Original Series and The Motion Picture! Roy and Jon join Richard and Christel to sample an episode from each franchise! Which is better!? Which is worse? What are fan films!? Do we even like them!? All of these questions (and more) will be answered on, Turning Trekkie the Podcast!!!

RED ALERT! In this special edition episode Richard shares the story of one very Turning Trekkie day at work. Listen up for some galley gossip about his experience meeting Picard show runner Terry Matalas, Captain Liam Shaw’s Todd Stashwick, Q's John De Lancie and the one and only Jonathan Frakes you all know and love as Riker. 

Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry, was canceled... but luckily for Christel and Richard that wasn't the end, it was only the beginning. We're now Turning our Trekkie focus to those early Saturday mornings from September 8, 1973, to October 12, 1974, on ⁠NBC⁠. This continuation of Star Trek spanned 22 episodes over two seasons... but something was different... our beloved characters became CARTOONS! This is the second series in the ⁠Star Trek⁠ franchise and features mostly the same cast as ⁠The Original Series⁠.⁠ Show writers ⁠David Gerrold⁠ and ⁠D. C. Fontana⁠ are back!!! They characterized The Animated Series as effectively a fourth season of Star Trek. So being the super zealous hosts as they are, Christel and Richard took a day to watch the entire series! Binge-tastic!!! Come join the fun as the Animated Series is discussed in depth and in full, going to places that neither host had gone before!

How could Christel and Richard perfectly celebrate the end of an era!? After watching three seasons of the original series, it was time to make a Turning Trekkie "TV" episode of our own! We brought Seattle Improvisors, Jeanine, Ari and Tony, aboard the pod to teach us the skills necessary to create a unique installment of the continuing missions of The USS Enterprise. Join the crew, you will not want to miss this!!! And be sure to tune in after the show for a post credit scene- a message from Richard and Christel to the fans :-) Let's boldly go and pod where no one has podcasted before!

If you are in the Seattle area, you can watch 4 of the 5 people on today's episode! Check us out:
