Trekommendations | A Star Trek Recommendation podcast

What can Star Trek, science fiction and some of our favourite fictional worlds teach us about leadership in the real world? 🖖
For Trekcommendations Episode 51, I’m joined by Ellen Daniels (@ellendaniels_), whose recommendation is To Boldly Go: Leadership, Strategy, and Conflict in the 21st Century and Beyond.
It’s a fascinating collection of essays that uses science fiction as a lens for exploring leadership, strategy, decision-making and conflict — taking ideas from the stories we love and asking what they might actually teach us.
Ellen explains what makes the book worth picking up, why the combination of sci-fi and serious discussion works so well, and why it might appeal even to people who don't normally find themselves reaching for a collection of essays.
Of course, this is Trekcommendations, which means getting to the actual recommendation is only half the adventure! Ellen and I head off on plenty of Star Trek tangents, fandom discussions, random observations and general Trek nonsense along the way.
Another recommendation for the ever-growing Trekkommendations list!
📚 Would you read a book using science fiction to explore real-world leadership?

For this milestone episode, I’m joined by Lauren DeLorean (@lauren_delorean) — and rather than recommending one particular story, Lauren is opening the doors to the enormous world of Star Trek comics.
Whether you love the classic crews, want to discover something completely different, or fancy seeing Star Trek explore ideas television simply couldn’t, there’s probably a comic out there for you.
Lauren shares some of her favourites and explains why Trek comics are such a fantastic corner of the franchise to explore — from older and slightly more obscure releases to the new stories being published today.
But this is Trekcommendations, so naturally we don't get anywhere near the recommendation without going on plenty of Star Trek tangents first! We chat Trek, collecting, fandom and whatever else manages to derail us along the way.
50 episodes in, and there are STILL more Trekkommendations to discover.
What Star Trek comic would you recommend to another fan?

Star Trek: Enterprise may have ended on TV… but the story certainly didn’t.
For Trekcommendations Episode 49, I’m joined by Nat (@scruffyspaceelf), and her recommendation takes us beyond These Are the Voyages… and into the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch novels.
These books pick up the story of Archer and the Enterprise crew, exploring the events and conflicts we never got to see on screen — including the build-up to the Romulan War and the continuing journey towards the birth of the Federation.
Nat explains why she thinks the Relaunch series gives Enterprise fans something much closer to the continuation — and finale — the show deserved.
And, as always with Trekcommendations, the recommendation is only part of the fun. Expect plenty of Star Trek tangents, opinions, laughs and general Trek nonsense along the way.
🖖 If you were disappointed by the Enterprise finale, are the Relaunch novels worth giving a try?

What happens when a mysterious virus threatens the Federation and the solution spans six interconnected novels?
This week on Trekommendations, I'm joined by Scott from @starfleet.archives, who shines a spotlight on one of Star Trek's most ambitious literary projects: Star Trek: Double Helix.
We explore why this crossover series deserves far more attention, how it brings together characters from across the Star Trek universe, and why its central mystery keeps readers turning pages from beginning to end. Scott explains what makes the series so special, who it's perfect for, and why it remains one of his favourite Trek recommendations.
As always, though, the recommendation is only part of the fun. We also go off on plenty of entertaining Star Trek tangents, chat about collecting, fandom, favourite stories, and celebrate everything we love about the Final Frontier.
If you're looking for your next Star Trek read—or you've somehow missed Double Helix—this episode might just convince you to add all six books to your reading list.

Can a Star Trek uniform actually be comfortable enough to wear all day... or even sleep in?
In Episode 47 of Trekommendations, I'm joined by Synthgirl Starlight, who doesn't recommend a book, comic or episode this time—instead, she's shining a spotlight on one of the most practical pieces of Star Trek costuming ever made: the Enterprise NX-01 Flight Suit.
We chat about why this iconic jumpsuit stands out from Star Trek's many uniforms, what makes it so comfortable, and why it's become a favourite for fans, cosplayers and collectors alike. Whether you're wearing it to a convention or lounging at home, this might just be the most wearable uniform in the franchise.
As always, the recommendation is just the beginning. Expect plenty of fun Star Trek tangents, laughs, and passionate Trek conversation along the way.
