This bonus episode of That Star Trek Podcast was recorded live at Magic City Con in July of 2025. Many of the Infinite Potato Alliance hosts were in attendance, and it was the first time a lot of them had ever met in person. During that weekend they hosted many panels together including this one. Shawn and Scott sat down and discussed the beta canon media that they have enjoyed since childhood. This includes Star Trek video games, novels, and comics that are not usually included in the lore of the franchise. This is a bonus episode and the panel will be back soon to continue talking about this season of Starfleet Academy. Until then, enjoy! This is a public episode.
