Episode 384: Steamed Hams But It's Star Trek

A Star to Steer Her By

Back in the day, streaming "Trek" tried a fun little experiment that actually worked out pretty well! So of course they only did it twice. This week we're looking at the first four "Short Treks", bite-sized bits that go a bit outside the usual realms of the show. This time around we've got a stowaway, two different kinds of rescue, and a rascally con-man! Also this week: kids shows, cartoons, and title cards!

We never go full spoiler but if you really want to go into it TOTALLY clean, maybe skip that one.
