Mr. Intellivision, Keith Robinson.
Congratulations to Kevin and David, who won these fabulous prizes!
A combadge, phaser and tricorder that have seen a lot of action since the Enterprise’s mission began.
On the right, my very well-worn 1987 Galoob die-cast Enterprise-D. On the left, my somewhat newer Eaglemoss Enterprise-D.
Okay, yours is bigger: a significantly larger model of the Enterprise-D at the now-extinct Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton.
Okudagrams make everything better. Even pinball.
Your host, as a much younger man, with Star Trek: The Experience’s Ferengi waiter.
Hungry for more Trek talk? Stick around this fall when Discovery premieres.
Vinyl’s place is in…the…kitchen? Ermahgerd, BABY HIPPO!!

1 106: Are You Being Media Served? 11M ago + Play Later 4 In Play Later + Lists — Are you being media served? If not, why not? Who needs a media server, how do they set one up, and how do you organize it? Why is everyone so up in arms over the Star Trek: Discovery trailer?

1 103: Hidden Figures and the Story of a Space Case 1y ago + Play Later 4 In Play Later + Lists — If you don’t want to hear about space, this is not the podcast for you. This month, I tell you what there was to like about Hidden Figures (spoiler: a lot of things), and reveal the perhaps slightly embarrassing movie tie-in that turned a young sci-fi nut into a lifelong lover of space exploration. Spend an hour spacing out with me. (53:17) Not ...… D Don't Give This Tape To Earl
