This week on Starter Trek, Jessie Gender, Tawny Newsome, and Andrew Ti continue their journey through the "spicy" episodes of Star Trek, with The Next Generation's horniest episode, which is wild considering it was the second episode of TNG ever made: "The Naked Now."

This week on Starter Trek, Jessie Gender, Tawny Newsome, and Andrew Ti take a Quarkstop in “Little Green Men,” where Quark, Rom, and Nog accidentally become the aliens at Roswell; the DS9 writers roast how absurdly much everyone used to smoke in 1950s America; and Quark and Odo get really close.▶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 IsraelsonSuboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/

This week on Starter Trek, Jessie Gender, Tawny Newsome, and Andrew Ti tackle “A Night in Sickbay,” where Archer completely loses his mind over Porthos, Phlox turns bedtime into a deeply unsettling performance art piece, and Enterprise proves that sometimes humanity's greatest obstacle to diplomacy is one very stressed man refusing to apologize. ▶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 IsraelsonSuboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/

Tawny Newsome and Eugene Cordero are about to launch a new rewatch show for Star Trek: Lower Decks. This is not that show yet. This is the prep where they tackle the big questions: where will they receive gifts, whether we can watch the episodes at the gun range, and how they can get a Paramount+ subscription. For Star Trek Day, we're releasing the first episode for FREE! All future episodes of this podcast are available to paid subscribers on Suboptimal Podcasts, with episodes released biweekly!  Sign up to get every episode, the progenitor episodes of Starter Trek, support our content, and so much more over at https://suboptimalpods.com/Suboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/

This week on Starter Trek, Tawny, Andrew, and Jessie tackle “Elogium,” where Kes gets space puberty, Andrew tries to figure out why Star Trek doesn't understand cabbage, and somehow the USS Voyager ends up having way more sexual energy than anyone was prepared for. ▶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 IsraelsonSuboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/

Deep Space Nine goes where no crossover had gone before: directly into “The Trouble with Tribbles.” We revisit “Trials and Tribble-ations,” featuring Kirk hero worship, Dax flirting across time, Bashir nearly becoming his own grandfather, and Worf absolutely refusing to explain Klingon foreheads. ▶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/Suboptimal Premium Pods! : https://suboptimalpods.com/
