Oh, well ... maybe next month. Yes, you heard right - we've uploaded the September 2017 installment of THIS IS BIG GREEN , and this seems like a really good time to talk about what's inside that honking little MP3 file. Here goes: Ned Trek 33: The Nimrod Seven . Incredibly, the thirty-third episode of our Star Trek parody, Ned Trek. This one's based on the classic Star Trek first season episode entitled The Galileo 7 , in which Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and some toss-aways get their shuttlecraft stranded on a hostile ape-infested planet. Well, replace those three regulars with Perle, Coburn, and Sulu, change the shuttlecraft's name to "The Nimrod 7", then throw in Seb Gorka, Peter Lorre, the Nixon android, and a Mr. Stephanie or six and you've got a poorly-wrought m...

I think time may be stretching, or rather, elongating. I don't know the correct term - get a physicist on the phone. Or call our mad science adviser Mitch Macaphee - he may have the answer. All I know is that July turned into August, September turned into October, and so on. I can feel the holidays crawling up my ass. In any case, you may have noticed that the October installment of our THIS IS BIG GREEN podcast has been posted, sent out to ipods and other devices, RSS'ed around the globe, and played on somebody's smartphone somewhere. Better late than never, I always say ... but then, I am one of the people producing the podcast, so from another perspective, late may not be better than never. Be that as it may, here is a look under the hood of this latest audio crapfest: Ned Trek 20: The Shamesters of Quadzillion. In this, the lastest episode of our ongoing bizarre-ass Star Trek parody, Captain Willard Mittilius Romney and his senior officers are captured and held pri...
