What's more fun for a fan than contemplating a self-insertion into canon?  

Podcast hosts Soda and KLMeri ask the daunting question, "What Star Trek crew would I join?"  In this exploration, we consider two scenarios: being a new addition to a crew versus replacing an existing character.  

What's your ideal Starfleet job?  Which senior bridge crew would you serve under?  Or are you destined to run the ship?!  With so many options available, the answer can only be... entertaining, to say the least!
