I am Paul F. Tompkins and I play Dr. Migglymo on Star Trek Lower Decks.

But more importantly, we're just a couple of Star Trek nerds who are excited because we finally get to talk about Star Trek again with all of you.

And we will be featuring Deep Space Nine guests to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary.

We're gonna be talking Picard Season 3 with members of the original of the next generation cast.

Listen to Star Trek The Pod Directive wherever you get your podcasts.

And I'm so sad that you went home.
