VEDEK BAREIL (THEY CALL ME!)

As you doubtlessly know from listening to the show it's no great secret that we have a soft spot for tragically short-lived Bajoran spiritual leader, Vedek Bareil Antos. Ever since first popping up in conversation way back during our third episode, he's become a go-to running joke and - some would say - beloved podcast mascot. Well, in honor of the close of our first full year of podcasting we have decided to gift unto all of you a secret project that has been long under construction. The way we figure it, all great heroes deserve an anthem. And now, thanks to Subspace Transmissions, Vedek Bareil has his!

Lyrics:

Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil
Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Vedek Bareil
They Call Me!
Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Vedek Bareil

First son of Bajor/ Arm 'round the major
Prophet chosen playa/ Snuff Cardassian danger
Hot like a bout of the Zanthi fever/ Voices from the temple and I'm the receiver
Let me take your pagh and make you a believer
Vedek to the people, and never a deceiver
Cuz I got flowers in my garden, and my heart'll never harden
Step up on the Springball court/ Guess what? You'll be smartin'!
Startin' to feel my flow (Yeah you know)/ Like watching a Feloran Bromeliad grow
Do I trust Sisko? I dunno/ But cray-cray Kai, batty Winn gotta go!

Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Vedek Bareil
They Call Me!
Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Vedek Bareil

Hey there girl/ Look into my orb
Think about all/ The love you could absorb
I get down, yo/ Like a Gratitude Fest
No life support, don't need no rest
Like Philip Anglim, forever best
Save your positronic implant, me I'm blessed!
Resurrect myself, no stress no mess no jest
Monastery to the mic/ My spiritual quest
Rhymes from the soul to make you all heal
Power in the words, the Opaka ideal
Dukat, you a fool cuz I keep it Ba-real
Spinning records till dawn like a dabo wheel!

Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Vedek Bareil
They Call Me!
Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Vedek Bareil
Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Bareil/ Ba-Ba-Bareil

Incoming Special Transmission!

The three of us are currently enjoying the sweet, sweet tranquility of our monthly break, so we're not back to our regular schedule quite yet.

Alas, we still feel obligated to inform you that we bring news both good and bad.

Let's start with the bad: unfortunately, due to scheduling issues, we're going to be a bit late with our standard episode rotation this month. We've got fantastic topics in store, but they'll be in the hopper a little longer than originally anticipated.

However, fear not, there will be a special bonus retrospective on 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture landing on Sunday. So start looking forward to that very special event!

In the meantime, to tide y'all over, here's yet another glorious podcast logo featuring To'Myna finally meeting her match in the Mirror Universe! And please continue sending us questions and audio clips (30-60 seconds). We love listening to them, playing them on the show and bickering amongst ourselves whether we agree or not.
Hit us up at subspacetransmissionspod@gmail.com or on Twitter.

 

Cam Smith, Benjamin Yong and  Tyler Orton will  return!

 

And if you're behind, catch up by downloading our previous shows on iTunes!

Godspeed!

Special Bulletin!

It's our monthly break, so no episode this week. But fear not, we're currently in the process of recording and editing together a new batch of amusing free-for-alls that dive headlong into the wondrous world of Trek-ian minutiae.

In the meantime, here's a new podcast logo (doesn't To'Myna look vicious?) to enjoy! And please continue sending us questions and audio clips (30-60 seconds). They are the fire that fuel this galaxy-class podcast starship.

Hit us up at subspacetransmissionspod@gmail.com or on Twitter.

Cam Smith, Benjamin Yong and  Tyler Orton will  return next week with our most morbid episode yet!  But, don't worry, there are plenty of laughs to be had along the way.

And if you're behind, catch up by downloading our previous shows on iTunes!

Peace!

Special Bulletin

 

We're going dark this week as we prepare a new batch of scintillating podcast explorations into the world of Trek. Thus far it's looking like our schedule should roughly consist of three regular episodes per month, with the option open for bonus entries.

 

Want to hear some extra content? Send us some questions and audio clips (30-60 seconds) and maybe we can get some letter bag episodes going! The sky is the limit!

 

Hit us up at subspacetransmissionspod@gmail.com or on Twitter.

 

Cam Smith, Benjamin Yong and  Tyler Orton will  return next week with another sensational installment. Get ready for plenty of alien talk! 

 

And if you're behind, catch up by downloading our previous shows on iTunes!

 

Godspeed everyone!
