It feels like a family reunion! The synthaholics are all back in the studio and it is a great feeling. It feels like it has been a long time since it’s just been the three of us. Carbon Creek is the topic of discussion this week. It has been quite some time since we have talked about an enterprise episode we thought this might be the perfect time!

We have two listener emails we read and answer for this episode of Synthaholics. So if you have written us in the past few weeks you know who you are! If you haven’t emailed us you should! We will read it and answer it on the show! Well it’s our second Tuesday release we hope you enjoy your weekly shot of star trek on its brand new bat time but same bat channel!
