ENGAGE with Trekkie and Trekker is a podcast for the Star Trek community who want to meet the fans behind the fandom.
Hosted by neurospicy Trekker and Trekkie hosts, this show explores the real-life adventures of fans whose love of Star Trek has shaped their worldviews, careers, creativity, and friendships.
Each episode will dive deep with a fan across the spectrum of the Federation... from scientists and storytellers to technologists, educators, and other explorers of every kind.
Why? Because Star Trek isn't just a show… it's a community of people imagining a better future together.
Join Trekkie and Trekker as they welcome Will Polk -- a lifelong Star Trek fan, podcaster, and host of Scene N’ Nerd -- for a conversation about the stories, characters, and experiences that shaped his journey through the final frontier.
Will shares memories of growing up with a locally produced “Star Trek Hour,” seeing The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan in theaters, and discovering the power of representation through Benjamin Sisko and Deep Space Nine.
Together, we explore James T. Kirk’s evolution, DS9’s rich characters and storytelling, the complicated appeal of Dukat and Garak, and why Star Trek must keep boldly reinventing itself for new generations.
Along the way, Will imagines his dream Trek series, chooses his must-have Trek technology, faces some rapid-fire dilemmas, and introduces us to another name for the fandom: #TrekHead.
It’s an episode about nostalgia, representation, reinvention, and the many ways Star Trek travels with us throughout our lives.

Cease & Decease & Prosper | with Shannon
Join Trekkie and Trekker as they chat with Shannon Fauver. Shannon is a lifelong Star Trek fan, lawyer, Peace Corps alum, convention regular, and First Officer of a fanship!
Together, we explore how Trek intersects with law, justice, ethics, service, neurodiversity, and the very human hope that we can keep growing toward something better.
Along the way, Shannon weighs in on some of Trek's most memorable courtroom and ethical dilemmas, explains why Galaxy Quest absolutely belongs in the conversation, and tells the unforgettable story of how pitching an idea for a Star Trek legal series earned her a cease-and-desist letter! #NewTrekkerLifeGoals
We also reminisce about the unexpected friendships and wonderfully strange moments that happen when Star Trek fans come together and those little signals that let another fan know: "You're one of us."
It's an episode about fandom, friendship, justice, laughter, and continuing to believe that a better future is still worth boldly going toward.
Live long and prosper. 🖖
