Summary
When we’ve reached the end of an era and only three packages remain, their contribution to the show’s well-documented problems makes it clear it’s time to turn off auto-renew. But after a bunch of FoD questions elicit some new ideas for the show, it seems we’re ready for 10 more years of indigestion and loose stool. Which type of museum would Ben and Adam open? What do wormhole aliens not care about at all? Who does Starfleet need to get into a uniform? It’s the episode that paints a Godfather-like scene.

| 0:03.0 | Uxbridge Shimoda is going independent. |
| 0:06.1 | But staying listener supported, that means this is the last week. |
| 0:10.3 | The greatest generation and greatest trek will be on the maximum fund network. |
| 0:13.4 | To make this change possible ahead of returning to TNG, we are going to have to take a short break to transition things behind the scenes. |
| 0:21.4 | We've made a big deal about never missing a show on Monday. |
| 0:26.1 | And it's not something that we love that we have to do, |
| 0:28.3 | but there are a ton of things that we have to set up to get the show ready for this. |
| 0:34.2 | When we relaunch in May with Star Trek The next generation, it's going to be on the same |
| 0:38.6 | feeds, it's on the same schedule, at the same quality that you expect. And you won't need to do |
| 0:45.3 | anything to keep getting the shows because those RSS feeds are just going to reactivate when we're |
| 0:49.0 | back in May. Hey, listen, this isn't something that we're doing lately. It's a change in strategy that we've been considering for a long time. |

| 1:09.0 | We want to say how grateful we are to them for being |

| 1:17.6 | membership, Max Fund is going to be emailing you about your account and crucially how you can |
| 1:22.9 | opt into our email list so that we can keep in touch with you. And when we relaunched, there are going to be big benefits for our first 5,000 supporters. So make sure you're signed up for that email list. Look at the show notes in your podcatcher. There will be a direct link to sign up right there. We want to tell you about this stuff. We're so excited. Signing up for the newsletter means we're going to stay in touch throughout this transition, and you're going to find out exactly when we relaunch and how to support us when we do. Greatestrack.com is where you can do that. If you're wondering about P1s, we're still going to do that in the new era, and you'll be able to sign up for those at greatesttrecht.com. If you've already got one |
| 2:01.4 | booked through maximum fun, don't worry, that's already on the schedule. But going forward, |
| 2:05.1 | we'll be selling them ourselves through podshop.biz. So a lot of news we just dropped on you |
