History That Doesn't Suck - Introducing Star Trek: Khan

Episode Date: September 15, 2025

The next episode of HTDS drops Sept 22nd. Prof. Jackson will begin the story of World War II in the European Theater and see the United States’ reaction. We’ll witness the fall of France, see the Royal Air Force in action, and listen to Franklin Roosevelt’s Arsenal of Democracy speech–and more! But as the Prof. put the finishing touches on it…here's a fun preview of a new show from our network partner.  STAR TREK: KHAN, the scripted podcast series. History remembers Khan Noonien Singh as a villain, the product of a failed attempt to perfect humanity through genetic engineering whose quest to avenge himself on Admiral James T. Kirk led to unimaginable tragedy and loss. But the truth has been buried for too long beneath the sands of Ceti Alpha V. How did Khan go from a beneficent tyrant and superhuman visionary with a new world at his fingertips to the monster we think we know so well? Recently unearthed, the rest of Khan’s story will finally be told in STAR TREK: KHAN.

and listen to Franklin Roosevelt's Arsenal of Democracy speech, and still much more. But as I put the finishing touches on it, I thought I'd share a fun preview of a new show from our network partner. Star Trek Khan, the scripted podcast series. For the uninitiated, Khan is one of Star Trek's most iconic villains, a true nemesis to the great Captain James T. Kirk, who leaps from the TV series into two of the best Trek films, in my humble opinion. Star Trek Khan, the podcast, chronicles Khan's descent from a superhuman visionary into the vengeful villain seen in Star Trek 2, The Wrath of Khan. How did Khan go from a beneficent with a new world at his fingertips to the monster we think we know so well?

The rest of Khan's story will finally be told in Star Trek Khan. Follow and listen to Star Trek Khan everywhere you get your podcasts. Khan, Khan, Khan, Khan, Khan! This is Star Trek Khan, the untold story of Star Trek's most legendary villain. Captain Sula, the new pieces added to this puzzle by the logs I retrieved on SETI Alpha-5, only confirm my belief that Khan was much more than a mad tyrant. What is it you hoped to achieve here? Khan and his people are dead

It is my intention to find the truth Help me find the rest of the story Featuring Navine Andrews is Khan Kirk did us a favor From this quintessence of dust We will rise Weapons ready Fire

Ren Schmidt as Lieutenant Marla McGivers The simple fact remains that we are both here now And must find a way to share this world And it's dwindling resources Sonia Cassidy is Dr. Rosalind Lear. In my experience, monsters are made, not born. With Tim Ross as Ensign Tuvok. Olkins find it incredibly difficult to lie.

Why this renders us especially sensitive to the lies of others, I am not aware. And George Decay as Captain Sulu. Khan was one of humanity's greatest mistakes, a product of ill-advised genetic manipulation. If there is any justice in this universe, one day we might avenge ourselves, starting with Captain James T. Kirk. Star Trek Khan, coming soon, wherever you get your podcasts. I am God!
