The podcast where we try to explain Star Trek: Enterprise to each other!

Haven’t watched or don’t want to watch the show? No problem! At EnterpriseSplaining, we’ll do that work for you! Every week, one of us will watch an episode and explain it to the others – or try to. No Star Trek knowledge is necessary, although it might help? Who knows. This show is weird. Listen along as we try to make sense of this 22-year-old show that represents one of the strangest chapters in Star Trek history.
