Another update: The winner of this year's Listener's Choice episode is "Yesterday's Enterprise." Congrats to Daniel N... as his name was the one we pulled from the hat!

talktrek@gmail.com — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:36:00 GMT

Dear Listeners -

We are terribly sorry for the delay. Perhaps "Who Mourns for AdonaÃs?" is such a great episode from the original series that we had to spend so much time getting the podcast right. Yeah... that sounds like a good excuse! :)

In any event, we are back. Stay tuned for a steady stream of podcasts from now on (until we take our next break)!

So, please come with us as we invest our minds in Greek mythology and learn about the true Apollo. Was he really a god? Or was he just trying to score with the new blonde chick on the planet?

Weâve come to the season finale of Talk Trek! Star Trekâs last show of season one is a blast, an operation fraught with danger and a little bit of malaise on the side. But have no fear; the crew of the Enterprise can tackle any undertaking.

In this episode, the Deneva colony is attacked by neural parasites that cause mass insanity while the crew of Enterprise search for a way to stop them.

Join us as we venture deep into the dark chasms of not only space, but our minds as well. We shall search the depths of our soul in an attempt to convincingly judge right from wrong as we debate the demerits of democracy and oddly-filled nets of lard.
