Our Podcast Is By Fans, For Fans
Discussing Trek: A Star Trek Podcast is a podcast about the Paramount+ series Star Trek Discovery, Star Trek Picard, and whatever other new and exciting show they have on the docket! What we do on our show is review each episode in somewhat excessive detail, in addition to talking all things Trek. Our podcast is by fans, for fans!
History of the Show
Having worked with Discussing Network co-founder Kyle Jones on Discussing Who, Clarence Brown felt the need to talk about that other intellectual property that had been around for almost just as long. With the return of Star Trek to the small screen in Star Trek: Discovery, Clarence assembled the crew that would helm the Discussing Trek podcast, though it started under a different name.
Many years later we are still going strong. The show originally started with the core crew of Clarence Brown, Kyle Jones, Jonathan Short, Kary Brown, and Andy Sims. Over time Andy took a backseat and Jeremy Barrow was brought into the fold. Every week we aim to make the best listening experience for our audience while lending our view as mostly 90’s-era Trekkies, to the collective conversation.
