EPISODE 27 - "THE BEST, WORST, WEIRDEST & WILDEST MOMENTS OF 2014!"

Ah, 2014... So many sweet, sweet memories... Heck, even we here at Subspace Transmissions aren't entirely immune to waxing poetic about the treasured tales of experiences had, and laughs shared. Thus, in this extra special year ending episode, hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton nostalgically count down the key moments that helped shape what this podcast has become. Throughout an assortment of amusing clips, featuring co-host Benjamin Yong, and stellar guests David Borys, Carmin Carotenuto, James Chesser, Tony Geluch, Scott Hardy & Jarrah Hodge, we flashback to hilarious conversations about classic show-favorite characters and episodes (fear not, Bareil fans, we gotcha covered!), and gaze optimistically into the bright, shining light of 2015. If ever there was a right way to ring in the New Year, this is it folks!

EPISODE 24 - "TIME FOR A COURT MARTIAL?"

For such a powerful and positive organization, Starfleet sure is lax when it comes to disciplining questionable acts committed by its key enlisted members. In this latest episode hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton call out some of the more egregious decisions made by beloved Trek characters and judge whether a court martial needed to be instituted. Should murdering a chancellor be frowned upon even if good ultimately comes from it? What about helping to corrupt an entire alien society in order to create "a balance of power?" We know where we stand on these particular issues, as well as the several others discussed in this jam-packed hour, so join in the fun and decide whether you agree or disagree!
