After four years, the original Trek Chat crew reconvenes to talk about the newest addition to the Star Trek franchise: Starfleet Academy. The show has attracted criticism from Trekkies for being "too woke" and out-of-step with the spirit of Star Trek. But does this critique actually hold up? Comedian & actor Wyatt Cenac returns alongside screenwriter and prolific podcaster Josh Olson for the sprawling Star Trek episode at least one of you has been asking for for years. (Recorded before we started a war with Iran. We'll get back to business shortly. Enjoy this brief respite from the world).
