Talking Trek To YouThe Deadly Years (with Rachel Bernstein)It's time to tackle the horros of ageing - or at least the horrors of old-age makeup - as The Deadly Years hoves into view. And along to cope with all that latex (not as fun as it sounds) is Rachel Novak! How effective is the attempts to age up our crew? Does the episode do anything with its central premise? And just how off-handed is the ending? Plus in Recommendations we have an animated TV show and two non-animated TV shows. Which is nice. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou Blu...2024-03-0855 min

Talking Trek To YouFriday's Child (with Dais Johnston)Trade agreement required? Check. Savage local population causing trouble? Check. Lone Klingon making things worse? Check. Dumbest "ruse" in Starfleet history? Check. Why it must be Friday's Child! And to deal with a trade mission that needs all the help it can get, Dais Johnston is along for the ride! Does the episode stand up to modern television in its approach to (let's say) feminism? Do we manage to get a convincing alien society? How much purple fur can one planet need? Plus in Recommendations we have two TV shows and a movie. ...2024-02-231h 05

Talking Trek To YouJourney to Babel (with Jack McDonald)It's time to take a journey. To Babel (well, some of the way there anyway) as the Enterprise is off on a diplomatic mission. And to help us sift through the raft of ambassadors and murder plots we have Jack McDonald! How do the Federation politics work out? Is the family drama succesful? And given how much of a founding text this is, does it stand up to scrutiny? Plus in Recommendations we have an anime, a movie and a TV sitcom. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou Bluesky: ta...2024-02-101h 07

Talking Trek To YouMetamorphosis (with Jon D Arthur)What is, as Shakespeare definitely didn't write, such love between a man and a cloud? Well, let's answer that question as we tackle Metamorphosis. And to help judge the relationship between humanity and water vapour we have Jon D Arthur! How does the episode manage to juggle its themes? Can the episode bear the weight of how significant Zephram Cochrane is going to become in the lore? Is it, in fact, any good? Plus in Recommendations we have a movie and two video games, one obscure and one very much not. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com 2024-01-261h 11

Talking Trek To YouI, Mudd (with Lenny Burnham)We're back! After taking a festive break, Talking Trek is back among the stars and ready to discuss... er, I, Mudd. And to join us in this tale of robot sex women and comedy shenanigans we have Lenny Burnham returning to the podcast! Is the return of Harry Mudd something worth celebrating? Does the comedy of the episode land? And how do the gender politics stand up sixty years after the original transmission? Plus in Recommendations we have a movie, a sci-fi TV show and a thriller from Apple TV. eMail: ta...2024-01-1250 min

Talking Trek To YouCatspaw (with Sarah Gulick)It's time for a Halloween special (just in time for Christmas) as Star Trek goes - allegedly - spooky with "Catspaw". And we have a welcome return to the podcast from Sarah Gulick, here to make sure that nothing gets too scary (the fluffy kitten does help with that as well, to be fair...). How effective is this as a Halloween episode? Does the camp factor outweigh the fear factor? And what of Alfred Hitchcock's Star Trek? Plus in Recommendations we have a game and two TV shows. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com ...2023-12-1555 min

Talking Trek To YouThe Doomsday Machine (with Carl Garcia)Roaming alien sock from another galaxy threatening civilizaiton, you say? Why it must be time for "The Doomsday Machine"! A powerful entity needs a powerful extra podcaster, so Carl Garcia is back for a second stab at TTTY. How does the titular Machine work as an advesary? Is Decker a credible threat to the situation? And does the episode deserve to be top-tier? Plus in Recommendations we have a movie, a novel, and a remastered video game. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter / X / Burn, Evil One, Burn: @talktrektoyou Bluesky: t...2023-12-011h 02

Talking Trek To YouLower Decks Season 4 (with Jonathan Callan)The 1960s are left behind in favour of the 2020s this week as TOS is carefully placed to one side for coverage of Lower Decks Season 4. And to join us on our animated adventure we have Jonathan Callan! Does Season 4 improve of Season 3s generally weaker reception? How does new regular character T'Lyn fit in with the crew? And can the season stick its landing? Just one Recommendation this week because of the episode length but what can it be? eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter / X / Dumpster Fire Par Excellence: @talktrektoyou...2023-11-171h 36

Talking Trek To YouThe Apple (Alice Ebenhoe)It's time take a bite of The Apple on TTTY as we venture to a planet of exploding rocks, snake-caves (not a euphemism) and curiously-coloured natives. And to help us hack through the jungle (well, "jungle") it's a welcome return for Alice Ebenhoe! How does The Apple hold up after all these years? Does this work as an analogy of Communism/Christanity and is the script nimble enough to navigate those waters? (hint: no) And is this really the most Star Trek that Star Trek can be? (hint: yes!) Plus in recommendations we have two n...2023-11-0356 min

Talking Trek To YouMirror, Mirror (with Tony Whitt)It's time to oil our traps and slap on a fake beard as we slip into the Mirror Universe with the impossible-to-escape Mirror, Mirror. And to help us navigate such a brutal and unrelenting alternate dimension we have a welcome return from Tony Whitt! Does the "classic" status afforded this episode get wholly earned? Does the episode justify so (so, so so) many return visits in future iterwations of Star Trek? And are the cast up to the task of making any of this seem convincing? Plus in Recommendations we have a TV show, a...2023-10-201h 03

Talking Trek To YouThe Changeling (with Jonathan Boehle)It's time to get mind wiped and/or killed and ressurected on Talking Trek this episode as we cover The Changeling! And resisting such a serious (it says here) probe will need help so it's a welcome return to Jonathan Boehle! How does the old Uhura-mind-wipe stand up? Does the alien-probe-from-beyond storyline convince? And just how much damage can the Enterprise legitimately withstand? Plus in Recommendations we have two movies and a book. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter / X / Seventh Circle of Hell: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews... T...2023-10-0656 min

Select and StartPhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney with Kev Koeser from Talking Trek to YouHOLD IT! Kev Koeser, co-host of Talking Trek To You, stops by to talk about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and why the series means so much to them. We also talk about the uniquely great Nintendo DS library, the visual novel genre, adventure games, and more! Also Keifer nearly drives himself insane with his longest intro yet. We also talk about AI: The Somnium Files, Ghost Trick, Hotel Dusk, Oxenfree, Kentucky Route Zero, Metroid Prime, Tales from the Borderlands, Tears of the Kingdom, Xenoblade, Zelda Wind Waker, Zero Escape, and more! ...2023-09-262h 23

Talking Trek To YouWho Mourns For Adonais? (with Michael Darling)A giant green hand has the podcast in its grip this time, as we tackle the... um, iconic? Sure let's go with that! The iconic "Who Mourns For Adoanis?". But wrestling with gods requires a mighty hero, so Michael Darling is on hand to help! How do the effects hold up so long after the 60s and does the Giant Green Hand (tm) deserve to be remembered? Why is there a discussion of money within the Federation? And is the episode a classic or a "classic"? Plus in Recommendations we have not one, not two, but (techincally) t...2023-09-2257 min

Talking Trek To YouStrange New Worlds Season Two (with Rachel Novak)We leave behind the strange new worlds of old and embrace, instead, the strange new worlds of today as JG and Kev cover the second season of Strange New Worlds. And to help with the task of discussing all ten episodes of the season Rachel Novak is warmly welcomed back to the podcast. Does the second season manage to live up to the promise of the first? Is ten episodes enough to give every character a decent shake of the stick? Why does The Wrath of Khan come in for criticism? And of course, how do the...2023-09-081h 37

Talking Trek To YouAmok Time (with Ellie Warren)We dive headfirst into the second season of the original show as we get to grips - in more ways than one - with the might Amok Time. But we can't wrestle this one into submission alone so we welcome Ellie Warren back to the podcast! Does the episode retain its power after all these years? Just how much homo-eroticism can be - cough - squeezed into one episode? And does Amok Time deserve its legendary status? Plus in Recommendations we have two TV shows - of very different types - and a movie. 2023-08-251h 28

Talking Trek To YouSeason One Retrospective (with nobody)We take a break from individual episodes for a retrospective on the whole of the first season, as JG and Kev discuss the mission so far. No guests this week either - it's just our bold hosts getting into things! How has the season stacked up? Have the budget and scripts been able to keep pace with the ideas? And a third of the way through, has it all been worth it? Plus in Recommendations we have a beloved but cancelled TV show and a drama from the 2010s. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com 2023-08-111h 18

Talking Trek To YouOperation: Annihilate! (with Bri Marino)We reach the conclusion of the first season of the original show with Operation: Annihilate! But dealing with flying pancakes requires assistance, so Bri Marino is along for the ride. How does the episode work as a capper to the first season? Does the mystery hold together convincingly? And how does the loss of Spock's sight work in the episode? eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews... Think Good Thoughts: A Redemptive Review Of Star Trek: Voyager by JG McQuarrie Vol 1 and Vol 2...2023-07-281h 00

Talking Trek To YouThe City on The Edge of Forever (with Rowan Kaiser)It's arguably the episode with the best reputation of them all that falls under the TTTY lense this episode as Kev and JG tackle The City on The Edge of Forever. But to explore such a territory help is of course needed, so Rowan Kaiser is along for the journey (in both space and time). Does the episode manage to live up to its outsized reputation? Does the drama of the ending still work more than half a century later? And does the moral dimension work in a 21st century context? Plus in Recommendations we...2023-07-141h 27

Talking Trek To YouThe Alternative Factor (with Abby Denton)It's time to deal with a factor that may, in fact, lean towards being alternaticve as Kev and JG face not one but two universes in peril (and some dodgy facial hair to boot). And to help battle this (alleged) universe-spanning threat Abby Denton is along for a helping hand. Does this continue the run of Star Trek's great Season One episodes (hint: no)? Just how wildly unconvincing can one spaceship be? And who fed the crew stupid pills? Plus in Recommendations we have a video game and not one but two TV shows. 2023-06-3058 min

Talking Trek To YouErrand of Mercy (with Alasdair Wilkins)It's time to go on an Errand of Mercy this week as Kev and JG encouter the Klingons for the very first time (and surprisingly late in the season to boot). Naturallly, confronting such an epic enemy needs help, so Alasdair Wilkins is along as this podcast's resident Klingon Correspondent! How well does the politics of the episode stand up? Is one performance good enough to overcome that make-up? And does the ending manage to carry the weight of the rest of the episode? Plus in Recommendations we have an upcoming season of TV, a...2023-06-161h 20

Talking Trek To YouDevil In The Dark (with Tony Whitt)It's another one of the all-time classics this week, as JG and Kev are forced to confront The Devil In The Dark. And to guide them through the gloom, Tony Whitt is along to help navigate those treacherous mining tunnels! Does the episode deserve its reputation as one of the very best? Why, of all things, does Into Darkness get some kind of defence? And just how many pizza jokes can there be in one episode? Plus in Recommendations we have a movie, a TV musical and a TV anthology show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gm...2023-06-021h 04

Talking Trek To YouThis Side of Paradise (with William McKenna)We explore This Side Of Paradise on Talking Trek this week as Kev and JG take a wander amongst the spores. But surviving such an environment requires help so this week's gest, William McKenna, is along for the ride. Or should that be trip? How does the episode deal with the strange conflict at the heart of it? Does it manage to deal with the devlopment of Spock successfully? And can William Shatner continue to land the comedy? Plus in Recommendations we have a different branch of the franchise, some black and white shorts and a...2023-05-191h 03

Talking Trek To YouA Taste of Armageddon (with Rachel S. Bernstein)It's time to sample A Taste Of Armageddon this episode as Kev and JG face a "humane" war. But, unable to tackle such a conflict alone, Rachel S. Bernstein is along for the journey. How does the episode deal with its approach to pacificsm? Is this a progressive story or does the desire for Kirk to be Always Right overwhelm things? And how does it fit in with history a la 1967? Plus in Recommendations we have a novel and two movies. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judg...2023-05-051h 00

Talking Trek To YouSpace Seed (with Matt Fink)There are classics and then... there's Khan! Yes, putting in his first appearace - shiny go-go boy outfit and all - it's time to welcome the apparently-unstoppable influence of everyone's favourite genocidal loony to Star Trek as Kev and JG tackle Space Seed. But dealing with a monster (well, "monster") of Khan's stature requires help so Matt Fink is along for the ride! Can Khan convince as a conniving dictator or is it time to can the Khan? Does Space Seed deserve to be remembered as an episode in its own right, away from it's future influence on...2023-04-2156 min

Talking Trek To YouReturn of the Archons (with Lenny Burnham)Welcome, friends, to the podcast about Return of the Archons, and may peace be with you. Yes, it's time to tackle a number of firsts on Star Trek, with Return of the Archons and guest Lenny Burnham! How does Star Trek's first whacking big anti-Communist screed go? Why does the episode grind to a halt about halfway through? And how convicing IS it the first time Captain Kirk defeats a computer with logic? Plus in Recommendations we have a TV series, a movie and a book. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @tal...2023-04-0756 min

Talking Trek To YouCourt Martial (with Jonathan Boehle)It's time for Kev and JG to face a Court Martial this week, as Kirk is put on trial for the death of a crewmember. But they're not taking the stand alone , and Jonathan Boehle is along to help with the defense! How does Star Trek take to doing a legal procedual? How screwy is the Federation legal system? And just how far wrong can one closing fight go? Plus in Recommendations we have the same TV show twice over (to be fair, it's a good one!) and, uniquely, a theme park! eMail: ta...2023-03-2446 min

Talking Trek To YouTomorrow Is Yesterday (with Sarah Gulick)It's time for some time travel shenangians this week as Star Trek (and TTTY) head back to the 60s for the first time with Tomorrow Is Yestserday. But there's no slingshotting around the sun for just two, so this week JG and Kev are joined by Sarah Gulick! How does the episode capture the period detail? Is there a good sense of place and time? And does the time travel plot remotely hang together? Plus in Recommendations we have three separate novels / novelists and one Netflix TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com ...2023-03-1051 min

Talking Trek To YouArena (with Graham Blackaby) We venture into strange, possibly occupied, territory this episode as Kev and JG step into the Arena. But fortunately they're not battling alone - Graham Blackaby is along for the fight! How does the Gorn stand up, all these years later? How effective is the introductory section on the colony? And does the morality of the episode work? Plus in Recommendations we have a 50s movie, a more contemporary film and an Amazon Prime TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews... Think Good...2023-02-241h 05

Talking Trek To YouThe Squire of Gothos (with Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marlin)It's time for some godly comedy shenanigans on Talking Trek this episode as JG and Kev encounter The Squire Of Gothos. And along to help deal with any the ride are childish tantrums from super-powerful beings are Abbie Phelps and Natalie Marlin! How does the Squire of Gothos compare to other Star Trek comedy episodes? How long does it take for JG to torpedo any remaining credibility he might have (hint: not long!)? And how well-handled are the side characters? Plus in Recommendations we have not one, not two, but three novels! e...2023-02-101h 11

Talking Trek To YouThe Galileo Seven (with Joe DeAngelis)This episode we're stranded on a lonely planet with only an unconvincing plastic spear to keep us company as JG and Kev hunker down to survive "The Galileo Seven". Does the episode deserve a classic status? How do the production effects work out (you may gather from the opening sentence - not all perfectly!)? And does the character work stand the test of time? Plus in Recommendations we have a 90s movie, a bang-up-to-date movie and a TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou 2023-01-271h 07

Talking Trek To YouShore Leave (with Anthony Strand)It's time for a bit of a break this episode as Kev and JG take a little Shore Leave. And along for what will doubtless prove to be a relaxing time with absolutely no large bunnies or inexplicable deaths is Anthony Strand! How do the comic elements stack up against the drama? How goes 60s sexism this episode? And can anyone praise DeForest Kelley more? Plus in Recommendations we have a documentary series, a movie and an extended discussion about Doctor Who's final Jodie Whittaker episode, "The Power Of The Doctor" (OK this bit is...2023-01-131h 08

Talking Trek To YouBalance of Terror (with Chris Dole)There can be few episodes of television more well-known than Balance of Terror, and few which have contributed quite as much to popular culture. So this week, it's time to tackle an episode that really does live up to the title of "all-time classc". But does the episode deserve that reputation? Can William Shatner manage to carry the dramatic heft of the episode? And can Star Trek easily absorb influeces that go far beyond the western? Plus in Recommendations we have a pair of classic horror movies, some anime and a comic-book TV show. 2022-12-311h 22

Talking Trek To YouThe Conscience of the King (with Alice Ebenhoe)It's time for something a little classical and fruity this time on Talking Trek, as JG and Kev tackle The Conscience of the King with Alice Ebenhoe along for the performance. Do Shakespeare and space mix? Just how melodramatic can things get? And how satisfactory is "she's mad" as an episode ending? Plus in Recommendations we have a TV drama, a movie and a sitcom. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews... Think Good Thoughts: A Redemptive Review Of Star Trek: Voyager by JG McQuarrie Vol 1 and...2022-12-161h 02

Talking Trek To YouThe Menagerie (Pt 1 and 2) (with Paul Coughlan)This episode we tackle TOS's only two-parater as JG and Kev take a stroll around "The Menagerie", with the help of Paul Coughlan! How does the two-part framing device work? Do we REALLY believe Spock is going to betray all he stands for? And how does the original footage from The Cage compare to the newer footage shot around it? Plus in Recommendations we have an Apple TV show, an audio drama and a BBC TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews... Thin...2022-12-021h 04

Talking Trek To YouThe Corbomite Manoeuvre (with Andrew Deacon)It's one of the classics this episode as Kev and JG tackle "The Corbomite Manoeuvre". And beaming over from JG's other podcast, Beatles Stuffology, is Andrew Deacon to help them get to the bottom of things. Does the episode stand the test of time? How are the utility players? And is Clint Howard really freaky? Plus in Recommendations we have a 70's movie, an MCU TV series and a Star Wars TV series. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews... Think Good Thoughts: A Redemptive Review Of S...2022-11-181h 13

Talking Trek To YouDagger of the Mind (with Carl Garcia)It's time to sharpen both our blades and our brains as we confront "Dagger of the Mind". What does the episode have to say about the criminal justice system, if anything? How does the depiction of madness work out? And does the episode live up to the show's progressive values? To help Kev and JG along, this week they are joined by Carl Garceia! Plus in Recommendations we have two movies and a TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews...

Talking Trek To YouMiri (with Jon D. Arthur)We turn our attention to Miri this week, as we deal with the most wonderful thing on Star Trek of all - cough - child actors! Just how soon does the episode get icky? Does it stand the test of time even given the era in which it was made? And as Yeoman Rand's last substantial part, how does she and Grace Lee Whitney fare? Joining us for all the uncomfortable moments - and then some - we have our guest this week, Jon D. Arthur! Plus in Recommendations we have a podcast, a movie and a book. 2022-10-211h 07

Talking Trek To YouWhat Are Little Girls Made Of? (with Kris Koeser)This week we poder the questions What Are Little Girls Made Of? Although, we also ponder the question of what drove anyone to design the fashions in this episode, how low anyone can survive on the surface of a planet, and whether Shatner can out-act... er, Shatner. And to help us along we have some familial assistance, in the shape of Kev's brother Kris! Plus in Recommendations we have an animated show, the return of an old classic, and a sitcom. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou JG's Blog: Judgementally Reviews... 2022-10-071h 04

Talking Trek To YouMudd’s Women (with Michael Chau)Oh good, comedy in a Star Trek episode (said nobody ever)! It's the first of two encounters with Harry Mudd this episode, and Kev and JG get to grips with the lovable scamp (it says here) and all he brings to the table. And this week they're joined by Michael Chau, who's along to help sort through all this... stuff. How successful is the western-in-space conceit? Is it an episode whose progressiveness stands the test of time? (Hint: no) And who's defending William Shatner's acting this epsiode? Plus in Recommendations we have a TV drama and two movies. 2022-09-231h 10

Talking Trek To YouThe Enemy Within (with Abby Waysdorf)Roll up, roll up, come and get 'em! Two Shatners for the price of one! While stocks last! Yes, it's the debut of the transporter accident on TTTY, as Kev and JG tackle The Enemy Within. How Shatner-y can Evil Kirk get? Just how uncomfortable can one episode become? And how does fanfic play into the discussion? Helping tackle Multiple Shatners with our regular crew is Abby Waysdorf. Plus we have our Recommendations section, covering this week a band, a comedian and a TV show. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com Twitter: @talktrektoyou ...2022-09-091h 05

Talking Trek To YouThe Naked Time (with Rachel Novak)We return to the first season of TOS after the last episode's diversion with The Naked Time. Yes, it's time for the crew to lose all their inhibitions and listen to one really, REALLY annoying ballad while Scotty cannae change the laws o'physics. Lovely. To help Kev and JG on their exploration of infectious diseases and randomly-invented time-travel, Rachel Novak drops by to lend a hand. How does the episode handle the lowering of those inhibitions? Why so much discussion of the miniskirt? And just how long CAN George Takei keep his shirt off for? Plus in Recommendations we...2022-08-261h 24

Talking Trek To YouStrange New Worlds: Season 1 (With Ellie Warren)We take a temporary leave of absense from the classic series this week and dive into the first season of the era-adjescant Strange New Worlds. And to help Kev and JG tackle a whole season of TV we have this week's guest, Ellie Warren! The format of this episode is slightly different, with each host taking one character each to discuss in-depth, and then each picking a favourite episode from the season. Which characters will get chosen? Which episode show off the very best of Strange New Worlds? And how has the show panned out overall, given this isn't...2022-08-122h 00

Talking Trek To YouCharlie X (With Alex Kazanas)It's time to tackle an annoying horny teenager (well, "teenager") with super-powers on Talking Trek To You this week, as Charlie X comes aboard. How successful is this as a portrayal of adolescance? Do the regular crew work with a whole "teenage god" premise? And what are we to make of a shirtless William Shatner in red tights? Plus in Recommendations we have a manga, an Apple TV show and a sitcom. Tackling all these things (and more!) alongside Kev and JG is our guest of the week, Alex Kazanas. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com 2022-08-051h 25

Talking Who To YouTalking Trek To YouTalking Who To You has (Big) finished, but Kev and JG have moved over to new podcast - Talking Trek To You. Join an expert and a noob as they explore the original series episode by episode, helped along with a guest of the week!

Talking Trek To YouThe Man TrapHaving been Where No Man Has Gone Before, it's time for JG and Kev to forge forward and see if they can avoid falling into The Man Trap. How does the episode fare as a first introduction to McCoy? Does the whole "salt vampire" thing work? And how are the supporting cast? But they are not facing the plight of the last creature of its kind alone - they are joined by guest-star Dave! Plus there's Recommendations, this week featuring a movie, a TV show and an anthology collection. eMail: talkingtrektoyou@gmail.com T...2022-07-221h 10

Talking Trek To YouWhere No Man Has Gone BeforeGreetings! And welcome to a brand new podcast on the original series of Star Trek, where an expert (allegedly) and a newbie (definitely) boldly work their way through the original show episode-by-episode. Normally JG and Kev have a guest every week to help them unravel the episode but this week they're tackling the pilot (second attempt) episode on their own. So we kick the podcast off with "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Does it provide a solid start to the series? How do our regulars (well, the ones actually in this episode anyway) fare? And does t...2022-07-0859 min
