• Star Trek: Voyager, Season 5, Episode 21 - "Juggernaut"
    Sep 26 2024

    In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, “Juggernaut," the Malon are up to what they usually do, hauling around toxic waste, trying to hide it where no-one will find it. This particular ship springs a leak right in Voyager's path though, and the resulting spill traps both vessels along with a deadly monster seeking revenge. Juggernaut goes into the Mission Log.

    Hosted by John Champion and Bill Smith

  • 542 - Course Oblivion
    Sep 5 2024

    It's a great time to be on Voyager! Tom and B'Elanna are getting married. There's a new warp drive that will get the crew home. There's just a couple of problems: the sneaking suspicion that nobody is "real" and the ship is melting into a pile of goo. Mission Log takes Course Oblivion.

  • 541 - The Disease
    Aug 29 2024

    Love is certainly in the air when Harry Kim falls for an alien living aboard a generational starship. Everyone should be thrilled for him, except that he ignored Janeway's orders and caught something more than "the feels" in the process. The Disease goes into the Mission Log.

    Aug 15 2024

    Anything can happen in the Delta Quadrant - like a wormhole suddenly appearing that can transport Voyager back to Earth in mere minutes. Another thing that can happen is a giant telepathic space creature masquerading as said wormhole with the sole intent of eating Voyager for lunch. Bliss goes into the Mission Log.

  • 79 - Catching up with Norman
    Aug 8 2024

    On this special Supplemental edition of Mission Log, we turn our focus to host Norman Lao. In recent weeks, we've added guest hosts for the first time ever, and it's time to share, in Norm's own words, the recent medical concerns that have changed how we produce this podcast along with others at Roddenberry. We hope you are engaged as well as entertained by the discussion of his personal and philosophical journey and tying it all back to Star Trek.
