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.
Anytime a song is mentioned (more likely sang) on the podcast it ends up on our Spotify playlist! Put it on shuffle and enjoy the weirdest mix of music in the galaxy!
