Promenade Merchants: A Star Trek Podcast

Promenade Merchants #51: The Elevator Pitch and The Arrogance

by

The Scrappy Underdog Star Trek Podcast is making its way through Strange New Worlds.

Regular listeners have heard Heather and David approach the show with a more tepid disposition than other Trekkies. After three episodes in, we have our thoughts.

How does Heather feel about Chief Engineer Hemmer? Exactly what *IS* David’s fascination with La’an Noonien-Singh?  Just where are they headed with Captain Pike? Has he lived up to the standard we all have in our minds?

Plus (and we really want yours, too!) we offer our latest ideas for new Star Trek projects, and characters that could be expected upon in the current Latinum Age.

No, David does not bring up Chakotay.

It is our fiftieth episode!

Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth time, thank you for tuning in. We hope your raktajino is extra tasty today. It’s on us.

Oh, and Strange New Worlds. 🙂

Promenade Merchants #49: Star Trek Mission Chicago Debrief, and Picard nears its climax

by

Heather and David attended Star Trek Mission Chicago 2022. And of course, it was amazing.

Star Trek Picard is nearing its conclusion. Agnes Jurati has been taken over by the Borg Queen. Dr. Soong’s secrets have come to light, and Rios has shown Teresa a glimpse of the future. How will the crew of La Sirena get back to their time?

In Upcoming Business, Strange New Worlds inches ever closer. Heather and David are finally on-board, but for their own unique reasons. And that’s why we’re here. Tune in!

Promenade Merchants #48: See You At Mission Chicago. A Strange New World

by

Not sure if you’ve heard that a Star Trek convention is happening in Chicago the weekend of April 7, but there is.

And the Promenade Merchants will be there, along with a bunch of our closest Trekkie Friends.

We’re hoping for even more footage from the upcoming Star Trek Strange New Worlds, to go along with the character featurettes and 2-minute trailer that recently premiered!

And we haven’t forgotten about Star Trek Picard in New Business. Strong women, hijinks en espanol, and battles with depression are rife. And David is not happy with one character in particular. AGAIN.

Please say hi, if you’re at Star Trek Mission Chicago. We’ll be there!

Promenade Merchants Podcast #47: How About That Cameo?

by

Before we talk about said cameo from the Season 4 Finale of Star Trek Discovery, what are some of your favorite guest appearances and cameos in Star Trek history? Sound off in the comments below?

For New Business, we give our debrief on Discovery Season 4, the good, the bad, the extra-galactic. And we also talk about the 21st Century Strife that the cast of Star Trek Picard has found themselves in. Is Rios safe? Does Seven of Nine like the 21st Century more than the 25th?

Plus, more hullabaloo about Star Trek Strange New Worlds, thanks to a leaked photo from shooting in Toronto. Are Trekkies getting what they asked for, or something different? Tune in!

Captain Picard Week Special: The Picard/Guinan Connection

by

In celebration of the second season of Star Trek: Picard, our friends at Strange New Pod are having a podcast festival entitled “Captain Picard Week”.

A number of Trek Podcasts gathered to talk about Star Trek’s favorite Frenchman who is incredibly English, and they let the scrappy underdogs in, too!

We were joined by Girafe from Strange New Pod to dive into the connection between JLP and the enigmatic El-Aurian Guinan.

TNG’s bartender, listener, and confidant had a connection with Picard that literally stood the test of time and space itself. From the 19th Century, to within the depths of the Nexus, Picard and Guinan are linked.

We break down what we like between the two, and what we hope to see in Whoopi Goldberg’s upcoming return to the role in Picard Season 2. And thanks once again to Girafe for joining us!
