Set Phasers to Fun!

A podcast about Star Trek: The Next Generation for some reason

Episode 40 - Behold My Complicated Knife!

This is 40! We strive to bring you consistently compelling and timely content, but this is what you get. At the behest of an Admiral's Club member, we talk spin-off ideas, midlife crises for our main characters, and of course, corn status.

Episode 26 - Your Hosts, Their Voices Unfurled in Glory

Can you believe it! It's our second anniversary here at Set Phasers to Fun! Who knew such a humble podcast could stay so humble for 104 weeks? This week, we talk season-ending cliffhangers, open up the ol' listener mailbag, and take you on a musical journey through the stars. All this and more when you Set Phasers to Fun! On a serious note, we really do appreciate everyone who listens. We will endeavour to keep churnin' out the gold.

Set Phasers to Fun returns with a guide to Season 3! Will the crew remember that they have replicators and don't need to trade anything? Will anyone ever be able to outsmart Picard?

Episode 24 - Remember that Time We Boned All Those Planetary Ladies?

Megan and Charlie break their long hiatus with this almost comprehensive guide to Season 2. Will Dr. Pulaski be blown out of the airlock? Will Worf get over his galootness and get down with K'Ehleyr? Will there be any ladies on the Enterprise who are able to resist the charms of the quadrant's most mulleted rogue? Learn the answers to all these and more when you Set Phasers to Fun!

Episode 23 - An Actor, His Shoes Hurled in Anger

We've made Set Phasers to Fun history! We're back with a very special guest, actor John Shull. John played Molor in the episode "Firstborn," and has also appeared on Deep Space Nine and Voyager.  He was kind enough to regale us with tales from the trenches of acting in TNG and the rest of the Trekiverse. As an added bonus, this episode is 50% longer, yet comes to you at NO additional cost.  We'll be recording Episode 24 very soon, so send your episode topic suggestions, questions, comments, and concerns to setphaserstofunpod@gmail.com.
