Sad to say, but this will be the last episode of Engage. This episode we reminisce a bit about our time recording and we talk about one of the most infamous episodes in Star Trek's history, "Spock's Brain".   It's been a great almost 2 year run and we hope you've enjoyed listening as much as we've had making the show.  Live Long & Prosper!

Engage: The Final Episode

This week on Engage we hit the pavement of the world famous Times Square in NYC to find out what people know about Star Trek.  Who's the more famous Captain? Kirk or America? Who is the most famous Star Trek Princess? Elaan of Troyius or Leia? Just how much is Star Trek like Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings? Alright, folks see where I'm going with this?  This is a fun idea we had, that didn't quite pan out as expected, but we thought it was funny and decided to release it anyway.  Thanks to all the kind folks of Times Square for being such good sports!
