Happy New Year, Truants! This week Kris and Mouse reveal themselves as traitors by talking about the new Star Wars film on what is ostensibly a Star Trek podcast. But don't worry, we spend some time on other things, too: the new Star Trek movie trailer, our internal and external conflicts about J.J. Abrams, and what it sounds like when we eat corn.…

CBS recently announced a new Trek TV show going into production, so Kris and Mouse got in touch with a few past guests to see what they're hoping for in the new series.

How do you introduce someone else to Star Trek? What is it about this universe that makes us so eager to convert people?

This week we talk about Star Trek's post-scarcity society with Guttormur, a friend from Iceland. How close are we to that type of utopian economic system? How do we get there? If everyone's needs are met and money isn't necessary, does authenticity become the new currency? And how do you deal with civilizations that still use money?…

This week's guest, Mark Popham, joins us for a conversation on just how the heck money and trade work in the Star Trek universe. We discuss the important questions, like: "Why would you ever ship stuff you can just get out of a replicator?" and "Just how amazing are our Ferengi impressions?"저자 Starfleet Academy Truants
