About this listen

Film industry professionals and seasoned Star Trek fans Rachel & Jordan have watched every Star Trek television series and film except for, ironically, the original 1966 Star Trek TV series, Animated Series & films. Listen in as they provide their unique perspectives as both Trek fans and film & television industry insiders as they watch and discuss the legendary science fiction program that started it all!


Rachel is a lifelong creative, working as a painter and scenic artist in the Vancouver film industry by day, and science fiction & fantasy novel writer by days off. Her deep knowledge of Star Trek often comes off as encyclopedic to her co-host husband.


Jordan is an architectural draftsperson, 3D modeler and set designer also working in the Vancouver film industry. When he's not creating environments for actors to play in, he's struggling to remember what happened last season/episode of whatever TV series he and his wife have been watching lately.


Come along for the fun reviews, the often irrelevant tangents, cool Trek history and trivia, and film industry insider perspectives as these two make their way through the Original Series, the Original Animated Series, and TOS films!
