This week, we're joined by Tony (John's dad!) to talk about TOS's Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, in which the Enterprise becomes the battleground between a freedom fighter and his nemesis where they refuse to do anything but pontificate about how great they are. They're also in black and white makeup. It's not great.
In our Extra Special Star Trek Day episode, we're joined by official third host of the podcast Genevieve (@Thisismewhatevs) to talk about Gene's Vision. Yes, That Vision. You know the one.
In this week's bumper special episode, John is joined by unofficial third host Genevieve (@thisismewhatevs) along with Nasr (@tempvoid), Clay (@theIConstable), and Alex (@alexandertperry) to ponder the question of whether Starfleet is a military organization, why it obviously is and whether that actually matters.
This episode cost john $80. Why? You'll have to listen to find out.
In this special First Contact Day episode, We're joined by friend of the podcast/menace to society Genevieve, and our very special guest Manu Saadia (Author of 'Trekonomics') to talk about the question that has haunted Trekkies for decades: Should Captain Janeway have killed Tuvix?
This week, John is joined by seven (yes seven) wonderful guests (@geekysteven, @CzarWyrm, @Artemisapphire, @socialsoprano, @BeataBeatrix1, @manwithoutatan and @LeeHutchison_) to talk about the poorly understood, barely enforced General Order Number 1, also known as the Prime Directive, also known as that one Starfleet law that says you're not allowed to interfere in other planets business. Unless you're killing their god. Or intervening in a Klingon Civil War. You can use it to avoid helping the Bajorans though, that's cool!
We also get angry about Section 31. We get angry about a lot of things, actually.
This week, we're joined by the extraordinary Andy (@Andy3E) to talk about DS9's 'Valiant', in which Jake and Nog join up with a ship full of children who have all been inducted into a military cult that makes Baden-Powell look like a hippie. Yeah, that's a deep cut for ya.

In part two! of our 100-episode celebration, we're joined by Andy (@Andy3E) and Jessie Earl (@JessieGender) to talk about Star Trek Picard Season 3.
We laughed. We cried. We wondered why the chemicals in the water were turning all the kids' borg. We questioned the need for a daddy-issues Borg messiah. But most importantly of all, we retconned everything about the show you didn't like, so now it's okay.

This time, in the first of three 100th episode specials, John, Olivia and Genevieve talk about the state of Trek, Trekkies, Trek Costuming, Streaming, and many, many other things. It's about as rambly and ridiculous as the other 99 episodes. Perfect.
Thank you so much to everyone who has listened, laughed, meme'd and podcasted with us for the last two and a half years! We're so glad we got to meet you all!

This week, we're joined by the wonderful Matt Bone (@boneyabroad) to talk about Strange New Worlds' "Under the Cloak of War", in which a Klingon ambassador with terrible prosthetics gets murdered as part of a terrible plot thread, which is tied to a flashback sequence to an even worse plot thread.

DAMCASTERS PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/damcasterspod
In this episode we're joined by the fantast Girafe to talk about TNG's 'The Chase', in which the crew of the Enterprise ignore orders to bumble around the galaxy in search of a primordial DNA riddle which, despite changing everything we know about the galaxy, has no consequences whatsoever. How nice.

This week we're joined by our third host Genevieve (@thisismewhatevs) to talk about "Harbinger", the Enterprise episode in which T'Pol and Trip have sex, Malcolm has violent sexual tension with Major Hayes and Archer commits a war crime. Fun for all the family!

In this episode, John and Olivia chat with Subcommander Tal (@SubcommanderT) about "And the Children Shall Lead", in which a bunch of children takes over the Enterprise, and Jack Ruby's Lawyer in a massive glittery frock. Somehow, that's the nicest we can be about this episode, which includes such highlights as kids being picky about ice cream, William Shatner being directly very badly, and a green glowy ghost.

This time, John and Olivia are joined by Matthew (@sadmattyh) to talk about TNG's Parallels, in which Worf starts accidentally jumping through the multiverse. Surprise! He's still a deadbeat dad in every reality. Oh well. At least he's married in one, even if he did get Geordi killed.

This time we're joined by friends of the Podcast Penny and Chris to talk about Heterosexual relationships in Star Trek, from the highs of Sisko and Kasidy to the absolute lows of...everyone Deanna Troi has even been romantically interested in. And Vedek Bareil. God, he sucks.

VEDEK BAREIL RAP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xsDxpi4dtw&ab_channel=SubspaceTransmissions
This week, as a partial apology for being behind on regular updates (sorry), John and Genevieve sat down to talk about the state of Star Trek, and instead made a whistlestop tour through a collection of random nonsense, including Seinfeld Riffs, Cardassian Tails, Stoners in the 24th century, the difficulties of writing "adult" cartoons and the horrifying realities of living in Wisconsin.

This week, we're joined by the showrunners of STAR TREK: PRODIGY, Dan and Kevin Hageman themselves, to talk about TNG's "The Naked Now", in which the crew succumbs to the same weird sex-drunk virus that the original Enterprise crew were infected with because the writers didn't know what to do with their characters. Also, Data can get drunk now? Somehow? We don't know.

This week, we're joined by Leia (@Cottagetrek on Tiktok) to talk about The Man Trap, in which McCoy's old flame turns out to be a salt vampire that keeps killing people. Are we just willing to look past terrible TV because we like the Original Series? Yes. Yes we are.

This week, we're joined by Alex Perry (@alexandertperry) to talk about "Author Author", in which the Doctor gets in trouble when his really, really bad book is stolen by a publisher. We'd have sympathy, but he's such an asshole in this episode that he doesn't really deserve it.

This week, we're joined by Susana to talk about TNG's "Remember Me", in which Dr. Beverly Crusher gets stuck in a pocket dimension cos her son can't make a science project without endangering at least one person's life at a time. On the other hand, Gates McFadden is acting her heart out, so that's...good.

This week we're joined by the amazing Jessie (@JessieGender) to talk about Picard's Nepenthe, in which instead of following the interesting parts of the plot, the writers descend into a nostalgia trip to Riker and Troi's domestic paradise. Also, they killed Hugh for some reason.
