Trek 365: Thanksgiving Special Preview

Happy Thanksgiving! Instead of a new true crime, strange coincidence or cultural controversy this week, we’re pausing to give thanks to one of the inspirations behind The Prime Detective.

This week’s special features an exclusive preview from the daily podcast that inspired the tight, short-form structure of our show: Trek 365!

Host Izaak Brown—who was instrumental in encouraging the launch of The Prime Detective—has given us advance access to one of his final 365-second episodes for 2025. A high-energy, deeply nerdy breakdown of one of the most morally complex episodes in Star Trek history: Deep Space Nine’s “In the Pale Moonlight.”

Get ready for rapid-fire jokes, dozens of cameos from some of your favorite Star Trek podcasters, and an appearance from a special guest! It’s a fun and fast contrast to our usual style!
