Hey gang! Apologies but there's no episode this week. We have a big announcement next week though so stay tuned for that!

Starter Trek is a weekly podcast where Star Trek: Lower Decks’ own Tawny Newsome throws her friend Andrew Ti headfirst into some of the best, worst, most iconic, and bonkers episodes from across the franchise with absolutely no context as Andrew attempts to navigate a universe of Klingons, Tribbles, Vulcans, and haunted horny candles. Guiding them through the chaos is producer and super-Trekkie Jessie “Gender” Earl, who is legally required to know the difference between an anti-matter containment unit and a Tucker Tube array.
