Episode 145: Star Trek Does The Odyssey With “Calypso”

A Pulitzer Prize winner beaming into TR3? Make it so!

This week, author Michael Chabon himself stops by to discuss his new Short Treks installment, “Calypso,” as well as what it’s like working on the upcoming Picard show. Plus, Phil and Scott dive into the episode too, which jumps a thousand years into Star Trek’s future to give us an outer-space retelling of Homer’s The Odyssey… or at least the part involving the nymph of the title!


We bathe this episode with all the praise, while also speculating about what it means for Discovery and her crew’s future. And Chabon himself tells us about how he’d like to continue the story by heading in a few very interesting directions…

All that, plus a Red Shirt who has liquid plastic for blood! So cut off your arm and then reattach it perfectly, evolve your computer a thousand years, and sing Muse, because the next episode of Transporter Room 3 is here!

This week, we offer our two cents on the new Star Trek animated series Lower Decks and the latest Short Treks trailer (what is up with that time jump?!). Then we shrink down to half the size of a comm badge and dive into one of the most entertaining hours of Star Trek ever. Don't believe us? This week's episode just might change your mind.


And another Red Shirt beams on down, with ties to the Nexus, too. Oh, and check out why you need to get at least TWO copies of the new book Stellar Cartography.

So stop laughing at Dr. Bashir and the Chief being a few centimeters shorter than they used to be, and start listening now to the latest episode of TR3!
