Since 2017, Tom Fox has posted the podcast “Trekking Through Compliance” each summer. Not only is Tom a full-fledged Trekkie, but many of us in the compliance community share this passion as well. To commemorate the 8th anniversary of this series, Tom has updated each episode with new commentary and insights tailored for compliance professionals and business executives. Each episode is relatively short, lasting around 10 minutes. This allows you to grasp the storyline and the lessons learned from it. So, even if you have listened and re-listened over the past summers, you will learn something new and revisit one of the most significant TV series ever. In this podcast series, Tom Fox explores compliance, leadership, and risk management through the lens of Star Trek: The Original Series, presented in a 79-episode offering. Each podcast reviews the episode’s creative team and story synopsis, highlighting three key lessons learned in the areas of compliance, leadership, and governance. If you love Star Trek as Tom does, this podcast series is for you. He will use three key resources for each offering: (1) Eric’s Excruciatingly Detailed Star Trek (TOS) Plot Summaries, which has plot summaries for every episode; (2) MissionLogPodcast.com, a Rod Roddenberry podcast where John Champion and Ken Ray explored every episode of Star Trek, the Original Series; and (3) Memory Alpha, a great resource for all things Star Trek. Please note that Tom will use the order of release in this podcast series, so the first episode is the premier TV show, “The Man Trap,” which aired on September 10, 1966. This means that both pilots will appear later in the series. Additionally, the TV premieres are on a schedule that differs from the production schedule. So, listen over the next 79 episodes, revisit one of television’s outstanding achievements, and learn how to use Star Trek to improve your corporate compliance program and yourself as a compliance professional. We are going to have some fun.
