by Andrew Ti, Tawny Newsome, Jessie Earl
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.

We've finally reached the end of our batch of "spicy" episodes with Star Trek: Enterprise's "Bound"! The boys of the NX-01 are down for Orion Slave Women, the girls just get migraines, and Andrew makes the discovery that there are apparently no lesbians aboard the Enterprise. Meanwhile, Tawny and Jessie try to explain how Star Trek managed to make the Orion Slave Girls not technically slaves anymore while somehow making it even weirder. ▶Call us at: 323-389-7223▶Check out the crew's bonus shows at http://suboptimalpods.com.▶Subscribe to the audio podcast wherever you get your favorite podcasts: https://omny.fm/shows/startertrek▶See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.▶A Fine Alpinist Ranch Production - http://www.finealpinistranch.com✔ SOCIAL MEDIA ✔▶Twitter - https://x.com/yoisthisracist ▶Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/yoisthisracist/▶TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@suboptimalpods✔ CREDITS ✔▶Produced By @JessieGender1▶Edited by AJ McKeon▶Original Music by Jay Israelson Hosted on Acast.
