Star Tracks
On this month's episode, Geoff is joined by Chris Chaplin from the First Flight Podcast to talk about music. We look at famous themes, songs and incidental music from across Star Trek's 60 year history as we pick our favourite pieces of music. Unfortunately, we are unable to play any of the music discussed within the episode, however I have created playlists in both Spotify and YouTube for you to listen to our choices. The Spotify playlist sadly is missing 'No Choice / Tam' from the episode 'Tin Man' - one of Chris's choices in the episode, but the YouTube playlist is complete.
