A Star Trek podcast in which three nerds watch all of Star Trek, in chronological order, one of them enduring it all for the very first time. Hosted by PJ Montgomery, Mat Troy and Eliot Red.
Team MOAF were out tonight to watch a play what Mat co-wrote. A brilliant night was had by all. We’re very proud of the work Mat’s done, and hope you all get the chance to see Dead Air some day.

We are still being dogged by technical issues at all times. But despite that, a new episode came out today! @andywclift.bsky.social joins us to look at Through the Valley of Shadows, a couple of great scenes surrounded by a so-so episode of Discovery! Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek

New episode! We look at Perpetual Infinity, an episode so interesting, that we discuss many other TV shows and films instead. Like, more than usual. #StarTrek

New episode! We look at The Red Angel, an episode that is… eh, it happened. After some highs, it seems season two of Discovery is going back down.
Also, our previous episode came out, but we forgot to promote it. So listen to that too.

Hey folks. Just a quick one to say that there’s no episode this week. We do have one recorded and edited, but we’ve decided to go to a bi-weekly release schedule for a bit. We’ve got a couple of holidays interfering with recording this month, and we want to try and avoid more large gaps. Hopefully.

It has been two years since @drivaaar.bsky.social joined us for a look through the racist window. Good time. Have a listen to our episode on Divergence, the climax to Enterprise’s bumpy headed Klingon storyline.

New episode! Rachel England joins us to watch If Memory Serves. This would be a terrible episode to introduce someone to Star Trek with. It’s also Rachel’s introduction to Star Trek. Oops. Our bad! Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery #Discovery #podcast #StarTrekpodcast

What’s this? Did we release a new episode? You bet your sweet, sweet ass we did. We look at Light and Shadows, as Spock finally turns up in Discovery! Plus! Pike and Tyler fight a future squid! Wherever you get your podcasts.

We have a new episode coming out on Wednesday! Finally!
And, in the meantime, today is four years since we released one of our very best. As you wait for the new episode, why not revisit Tarquin’s Castle?

We may not have released a new episode recently, but Eliot has released new music. Here’s a new tune from him, Meteoric.

We want to say sorry that we haven’t released a new episode for a few weeks. We’ve been having increasingly large technical issues with each of our last few episodes. The current one has been the worst, and editing it is proving to be a nightmare. But we’re getting there. It’s coming soon.

New episode! We watch The Sound of Thunder, and all think it’s good actually?!?! Also, there’s some chewing, and we’re sorry. But also not sorry, as the chocolate was delicious. #StarTrek

Hey folks. There won’t be an episode next week. PJ has attempted to edit it twice, and twice, audacity has just deleted all the audio. We still have the raw recordings, but PJ will need to start the editing again, for the third time, and just doesn’t have time to finish it before Wednesday. Sorry!

New episode day! We watch An Obol for Charon (don’t pay the ferryman). And it turns out, PJ and Mat have been torturing Eliot with sub-par #StarTrek for so long, that the poor man has become exasperated to the point of forgetting how mysteries work. Bless.

In our latest episode, we discussed actuaries. What are they? What do they do? Well, our own Mat Troy thinks he knows. He may have even seen one. Here is his drawing of an actuary.

Look, it’s a bank holiday week, and we’re all discombobulated, so we forgot to promote our new episode yesterday. Anyway…

In our most recent episode, Eliot mentioned an Eric Andre sketch featuring the late, great Lance Reddick. We thought about putting a clip of it in the show, but it doesn’t really work in audio only. So here it is in full. It is very funny.
