Your SpaceTrio Podcast Hosts are longtime Star Trek fans, KLMeri & Soda.
SpaceTrio.com is a site dedicated to Star Trek’s Kirk, Spock, and McCoy characters and the wonderfully dynamic Triumvirate they create. The extent to our dedication includes exploring in detail various topics of discussion centered around the Triumvirate; for example, characterization, love interests, plot points, canon vs fanon and, honestly, any remotely interesting viewpoint that a fan might have concerning them. Also, as we love Star Trek in general the way we love the Triumvirate specifically, we like to chat about fun Trek topics such as the worst Original Series costumes, villains, and most alien-like aliens. We especially love to share our personal rankings as they make great conversation starters!
SpaceTrio Podcasts was established in 2018. Feel free to visit our website at SpaceTrio.com.
