157: See Elf Instead

New Crew Introductions.   Earl Grey has enjoyed 155 episodes with Daniel, Darren and Phillip. We encourage everyone to listen to the amazing work these three have contributed to Star Trek fandom. We are indebted to them and thank them.  We have a feeling of great joy and gratitude.   Star Trek is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, but our new hosts aren’t that old. So how did our new crew come to know Star Trek?  How did our new crew come to love The Next Generation?     In this episode, you will get the chance to meet our new hosts, Lee, Richard and Amy.  Hear how each of us found Star Trek and why we love The Next Generation. We talk about our first influences and how our fandom grew so much so that we are now hosts on Trek.FM. We also discuss how Trek.FM has rejuvenated our passion for The Next Generation and Star Trek in general.   Enjoy our individual paths to Star Trek and hopefully you will think on your personal journey and fandom for Star Trek.   Chapters Intro (00:00:00)   Our Trek Stories (00:01:05)  Fandom (00:05:33)   Digital Versatile Disc (00:12:50)   Literary (Star) Treks (00:16:00)   Trek.FM (00:42:57)   Hope For The Future (00:31:05)   Lesson Plans (00:42:57)   Previously On (00:42:57)  Conclusion (00:49:16)   Hosts Lee Hutchinson, Richard Marquez, and Amy Nelson   Production Lee Hutchison (Editor) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) Norman C.
