Starfleet Academy Cadet Challenge
Each week, Cadet Instructor Becca challenges Sarah & Allie with a trivia question about the current episode (we are not doing so hot here). You can play along, too! Share out the episode with your answer to the week’s question and use the hashtag #StarfleetChallenge and we’ll pick our favorite for bragging rights. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the correct answer – NO GOOGLING! – we might pick the funniest or most outrageous answer, because it’s our show and we do what we want.

Great Show! Honestly cant remember the last time I ever listened to a Trek podcast and laughed so much.....When I tell my Trek friends about the podcast I'm going to describe it as the "Lower decks" of Trek podcasts.😁🖖🏼
