Podcast
Tribbles in Ecstasy
Star Trek coverage with episode and theme discussions, community perspectives, and fandom-driven commentary.
Tribbles in Ecstasy Overview
Tribbles in Ecstasy was a live Star Trek news and discussion podcast covering the ever-expanding universe of Star Trek across television, film, books, games, merchandise and fan productions.
Hosted by Steve Roberts and a rotating crew of guests and co-hosts, the show provided weekly coverage of the latest developments from across the franchise, often broadcasting live and unscripted. Discussions ranged from major television announcements and film releases to convention news, community events, Star Trek Online updates and everything in between.
Unlike many Star Trek podcasts of the time, Tribbles in Ecstasy embraced a relaxed, live-show format that encouraged audience interaction, humour, spirited debate and the occasional technical disaster.
Topics regularly covered included:
- Star Trek television and films
- Star Trek novels and comics
- Star Trek Online
- Star Trek mobile games
- Fan productions and community projects
- Convention and event coverage
- Merchandise and collectibles
- Breaking Star Trek news
A Personal Milestone
Tribbles in Ecstasy marked my first major step into podcast leadership.
Through the show, I had the opportunity to connect with fellow fans, creators, developers, actors and members of the wider Star Trek community.
The podcast helped develop skills that continue to influence projects I work on today, including live broadcasting, audio production, interviewing, community management and content creation.
The Missing Archive
When the Holosuite Media website was rebuilt in 2020, the decision was made not to migrate the majority of the original Tribbles in Ecstasy archive. As the show focused heavily on current Star Trek news, many of the earlier episodes were considered time-sensitive and were not transferred to the new platform.
As a result, only episode 272 remains publicly available from the original run.
While there are currently no firm plans to restore the complete archive, the possibility remains open for the future.
Returning Soon
lowing an extended hiatus that began in late 2017 due to personal health problems and other commitments, Tribbles in Ecstasy is currently planned to return in late 2026/2027 with episode 273.
After all, there is always more Star Trek to talk about.
Live long and prosper.
