This week, Gooey Fame of BackTrekking is back on the program to act as a Trek archeologist as we unearth Gene Roddenberry's original pitch document, "Star Trek Is..."! The kernel of the idea that became the Trek we know was refined over time by many hands, but this is the raw ore of "Wagon Train to the Stars"! You'll hear tales of smart cows, skinned tyrannosaurs, dog men, and a whole lot of Christ metaphors! And Torx!

All done on the cheap!
