A Star to Steer Her By

A Star Trek Podcast

Author: A Star to Steer Her By

New episodes every Thursday! Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary. Mature Content!

Episode 401: Kool-Aid Manning Into the Future
Thursday, 10 July, 2025

Season 3 of "Discovery" starts off with a bang—rather literally, as Michael's first act in the future is to have a space-car accident. In "That Hope is You, Part 1", Burnham finds her plan to save all living things from Control might have succeeded, but in its place a new crisis arose: a dilithium-destroying cataclysm known simply as "The Burn". Now with her new...friend?...Book, she begins her search for not only her shipmates, but the Federation and Starfleet. Also this week: bird clock, the Smuggler and his Queen, and Sci-Fi origins! [Hope pt 1: 00:35; falling into science fiction: 49:00] [where'd we come from, anyway?: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/788617220254318592/babys-first-sci-fi-indoctrination]
