Daring to go where no Star Trek themed podcast (that we know of) has gone before, we decided that we needed to spice up the show by inviting a woman to be on with us. Frankly we were a little worried about what would happen. But we ended up both being pleasantly surprised. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is Anne. While hardly to be considered a fan of Star Trek, Anne had seen some episodes in her childhood and was at least familiar with the basic story. Our intent with bringing her on the podcast was to hopefully get a female perspective as well as spice things up.
This podcast covers episodes 9-12 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 3. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: General Custer and Joey won the Civil War Joey keeps his refrigerator at 62 deg Anne agrees with Peter Let's make some Super Soldiers Joey: A slave to soda Shakespeare and Star Trek: A perfect marriage Defectors: Patriot or Traitor? Terrorists vs. Patriots Giving in to torture Anne likes Star Trek TNG Direct MP3 Download RSS Feed Subscribe Using iTunes Here are the ratings that we gave for each show: Continue reading "Podcast 14: Fully compliant with the 19th Amendment" Monday, April 13. 2009

So it turns out that Joey and I are getting much better at this podcasting thing. There were only 7 items that needed to be edited in this podcast. But sadly this is the best thing I could come up with as far as an intro to the podcast for this week. So it looks like I still need some work in that department.
This podcast covers episodes 5-8 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 3. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is Pete's friend Jon Madsen. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Jon still hates kids Jon only has bad dates Anti-matter makes Peter's head hurt G'Kar is in Star Trek!! Blind guys fall into open pits Worf is a racist Wormholes and Intergalactic Email Joey is Pro-leotard Direct MP3 Download RSS Feed Subscribe Using iTunes Here are the ratings that we gave for each show: Continue reading "Podcast 13: Now with limited editing!"

Monday, April 6. 2009Podcast 12: TW5 - Not cancelled after first season!
And we're back! Well actually we recorded this podcast the week before Joey took off on his fun-filled family vacation. We chose not to post it until now because Joey has this very strange compunction to want to call this the beginning of season 2 for TW5. I don't know. I think it will be too confusing and way too arbitrary. I mean, who draws the line where? Anyway, feel free to throw your two cents in if you are so compelled.
This podcast covers episodes 1-4 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 3. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Peter tells Joey to shut up Baseball finally ends in the 20th Century Joey serenades Peter with the theme from "The Love Boat" Computers do what you tell them to do - nothing more! Joey kisses like a computer What would you kill for?

So apparently AoD loves to go on vacation. Who knew? And since he is the defacto editor (and is in another state) we are going to be taking a few weeks off for him to unwind with his wife and family. But he shall return refreshed and ready to go in about a week.

We have come to the end of the second season of Star Trek the Next Generation and our egos continue to swell. This was a vast improvement on season 1 and both Joey & I really enjoyed the episodes which the length of the previous podcasts will bear out. Since we know you enjoy listening to us as much as we enjoy talking, we decided to do a few lists and recaps to point out some of the highlights as we did with season 1. Enjoy.
This podcast covers episodes 20-22 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2. As this is the end of Season 2 there is no special guest. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: "Probing" through space Joey has no faith in anyone Suspended Animation: Is it possible? Roy Brocksmith = Good Actor Peter has to restrain Joey as he geeks out over B5 "The Urge to Compete" Joey says Peter was right Geordi is the only one who can look out a window We Hate Shades of Grey (the episode, not the color) Direct MP3 Download RSS Feed Subscribe Using iTunes Here are the ratings that we gave for each show as well as Season 2 lists/recaps: Continue reading "Podcast 11: Rapping Season 2 - minus the rapping" Thursday, March 12. 2009Trek West 5: Calling all comments
Trek West 5 is usually about 2 weeks ahead of their listeners. By that I mean, they record a podcast on a Friday but it is about a week and a half before they get around to editing it and posting it up. They would like to have more interaction with their listeners who have actually watched the episodes before and want to be a part of the conversation.
So having said that; Joey and Peter are going to be discussing episodes 1-4 of season 3 of Star Trek the Next Generation this Friday. If you have seen these episodes before and have a question or topic you would like us to discuss, please comment to this post or send an email to [email protected]. We would love to be able to talk about what is on your minds. Monday, March 9. 2009Podcast 10: A Decade of Discussion
Well, technically we have only been doing this for a couple of months, but the lack of sleep we have been going through and the length of these podcasts lately, makes it kind of feel like ten years. As we hope the trend will continue this podcast has been reduced in time to a slightly more manageable amount. We do have one thing we need your help on though. We have started doing shorter summaries for each episode. This podcast utilizes the shorter variety. Please let us know which you prefer in the comments.
This podcast covers episodes 16-19 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is Brandon. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Q is back: good guy or bad guy? Bring in the Borg Joey's idea of fashion wit != intelligence Heterocyclic Declination: Just as good as the JOS Trek West 5 Declaration: Joey has a better explanation for the title than Memory Alpha Joey tells Pete to "shut up" Death is messy The morality of cloning Lwaxana: Cougar on the prowl Calling all obscure references: Haircut Lipinski /whois Tracy Torme Direct MP3 Download RSS Feed Subscribe Using iTunes Here are the ratings that we gave for each show: Continue reading "Podcast 10: A Decade of Discussion" Tuesday, March 3. 2009Podcast 9: Daddy Issues
Alright, well we know that podcast 8 was a lot to try and chew on. Podcast 9 is only about 2 hours this time!! And podcast 10 is shaping up to be even less than that. Lots of fun was had in this podcast, especially our conversation about the episode The Royale - truly one of the dumbest episodes ever. We also would like to introduce the brand new Trek West 5 wiki. Anyone who is interested in helping us document this wiki, is very much appreciated. Because it is very sparse at the moment.
This podcast covers episodes 11-15 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is Aaron. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Product testing The Enterprise computer: a Microsoft Operating System? I can't believe we spent so much time discussing The Royale Joey complements Aaron Ammonia Tornado - new mixed drink?

It would seem that our podcasts are getting longer and longer each week. We aren't quite certain that we have come up with a solution for that yet. One idea is to discuss fewer episodes (we shall be trying that for podcasts 10 and 11 to end season 2). Another idea was to allow you the listener to download each episode we discuss as mini podcasts. So this week we have uploaded the full podcast (approximately the same length as Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition) as well as the discussion for each individual episode. You can click on the link to each episode below with our ratings (we have also included the length of each one). Please give us your comments/ideas on this.
This podcast covers episodes 6-10 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is Johnny Elbows. He joins us for our discussion of the episode The Measure of a Man. This ends up being a very lengthy discussion of a lot of philosophical issues. We also introduce a new podcast segment, entitled: Stump Jared. Current score is TW5 1, Jared 0. It was extremely fun for AoD and I, so our thanks to Johnny Elbows. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Joey doesn't think women are people - on Valentines Day The liberal media strikes again Transporters save the day Klingons Joey looks past his disdain for a hamburger New segment: Stump Jared - and yes, Jared was stumped Playing the Whoopie Goldberg card Anthropomorphizing things Positronic brains run on...positricity??

Both AoD and I wanted to make sure and release the podcast on a regular weekly basis. Due to circumstances involving the laziness of AoD, it took us a little longer for us to put this together. But the good news is that we were able to muster our forces and manage to get this posted on Monday. We also had to use a different microphone because AoD reminded me too early to grab the office mic. Hopefully you won't be too displeased. I shan't forget the proper mic again.
This podcast covers episodes 1-5 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is none of your darn business. Due to the length of this podcast, we may begin only covering 4 episodes per podcast. But we'll keep you posted. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Troi is too much woman for Joey Joey & Peter continue to not understand women Selfishness How long do you want to prepare to die?

We have come to the end of the first season of Star Trek the Next Generation. Thankfully our painful and awkward episode watching is over and we can move on to better writing and acting in season 2. Because this is the end of season 1 we decided to do a few lists and recaps to point out some of the highlights. Although these highlights extended the length of the podcast beyond our standard target, we think there's some really fun stuff that justifies the extra length.
This podcast covers episodes 22-26 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is Brandon.

Well, ok this podcast has nothing to do with the Super Bowl. But hey what a game! Congratulations Pittsburgh. Once again we had a lot of fun in this podcast as well as some intense discussion.
This podcast covers episodes 17-21 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is My friend Jon Madsen.. Also, a special thanks should go to Jon for allowing us to record in his home for this podcast. But due to his use of steroids, it has been rescinded.

Alright, now just about everyone who listened to the "first" podcast had something to say about the sound quality. We know: it sucked! Sorry. But thanks to AoD's hard work and a new recording technique you'll be able to hear some things much better, while others (such as the edit cuts) should be nearly indetectable.

Welcome to the third episode of our new podcast. Third you might ask? Well, due to catastrophic hardware failure, the "first" podcast will actually be "Episode 3", covering episodes 7 through 11 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1.
To assist in getting a possibly bigger listenership(?) we have also created a separate Blogspot account called Trek West 5. It will basically be the exact same posts as we make here but we thought we should mention it in case you prefer reading from Blogspot. Special thanks to Mrs. AoD for the Trek West 5 logo. It looks great. Continue reading "Episode 3: So it begins..." |
