Show notes

In this week's episode of Trek Politics, we discuss the original series episode "A Taste of Armageddon" in which Captain Kirk attempts to broker piece between two planets at war, only to discover that the war is a computer simulation that requires actual deaths through "disintegration machines." What does this episode teach us about the absurdity of war? And how it relate to our own politics? Stick around for BOBSERVATIONS, in which I discuss some nitpicks and funny details from the episode.
