Monthly Programming

  • When: First and Third Thursdays, 8PM CT

    Where: on Zoom

    Description: Since many iBUGgers are also Trekkies or Trekkie wanna-be's, we have created a discussion group to watch audio described episodes (when available) of Star Trek and then meet together via conference call to discuss the episodes.  We review the episodes on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, 8:00 PM (CT).  The iBUG Trekkie Talk discussion group is facilitated by Kenny Norton and Jody Ianuzzi.  Everyone (even if they are not a member of iBUG) is welcome to participate.

    We are currently watching episodes of Star Trek - The Next Generation. We pre-watch and then meet to discuss 2 episodes per discussion session.

    Other episode series of Star Trek are available from several sources including Netflix, Amazon Prime movies, Hulu+, Youtube and Paramount+.  Scripts of all Star Trek TV series and movies may be found at: https://www.st-minutiae.com/resources/scripts/index.html

    Facilitators: Kenny Norton and Jody Ianuzzi
