Exactly ten episodes ago, Kirk and Lindsey did a fine dining food auction to see who could create the best seven-course meal. It…did not go well. Lindsey was perfectly okay with never doing another one again. Kirk? Not so much. So, much like Hollywood giving a sequel to a movie no one asked for, they are doing it again! Will they get this fine dining food auction right this time? (Doubtful…very doubtful.)

The levels of sadness when going to a buffet run deep. There are just so many variables to consider when gorging at a buffet that when added up you are inevitably let down. Luckily, Kirk and Lindsey are here, as the two dive deep into the land of the buffet, discussing the psychology behind it, how “Big Buffet” is trying to scam you, the best buffet strategies, why it’s so important to do a “dry run” before making any food decisions, carving station tips, leaning into the food coma that follows a buffet trip, and how if you aren’t overeating at a buffet, then you are doing it WRONG.

Ethan Siegel: Treknology. Ever since Star Trek first hit television screens in 1966, audiences have been fascinated by the amazing technologies that are a part of every day life in the 23rd century. Over the past 51 years, Trek fans have imagined what it would be like to transport instantaneously from one place to another, have any kind of food or material replicated with a simple voice command, or travel to the stars aboard a warp-capable starship. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther are joined by author and scientist Dr. Ethan Siegel to discuss his new book, Treknology: The Science of Star Trek from Tricorders to Warp Drive. We talk about a number of technologies covered in the book, the process of writing it, the influence Star Trek has had on our collective imaginations and the technology of modern society, where our technologies may go in the future, and wrap up with where you can find Dr. Siegel online. In our news segment, we reveal the back-cover blurb for Dayton Ward's upcoming Discovery: Drastic Measures, and review two comics: Boldly Go #12 and New Visions #18.
