Deep Space Pride: A Gay Star Trek Podcast

We're finally back to recording episodes after a month off! Mike is back into the swing of things, which means we have a chance to catch up on all the news items we missed in the last month - from Nichelle Nichols' passing, to the announcements at Comic-Con.

And just because we can't help ourselves, we also chat about all the other shows we're watching, from The Sandman to Paper Girls. October is also in less than two months! How did we get here?

091 - The One With Callie Wright

Mike is back from his big Asia trip, but he's still catching up with life and getting over jet lag! Fortunately, we had banked this great conversation with special guest, Callie Wright from Queersplaining and the Lambda Quadrant. We met Callie at Star Trek Mission Chicago back in April where they were part of an amazing panel about LGBTQIA+ representation in Star Trek.

We talk about queer life, the DS9 episode "Prodigal Daughter", representation in Star Trek and a myriad of other topics. It's a fun, educational, and entertaining conversation which we hope you enjoy.

093 - The One Where Star Trek VI Applies to Today's World

And it's another week with no new Star Trek. To ward off impending withdrawal symptoms, Mike and Johnson decide to dip back into the past, and examine how Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country applies to our modern sentiments. Do the lessons from this 31-year Star Trek film still apply to our world today? The answer is a somewhat depressing yes.

But first, we do a quick catchup on our lives, and also preview the forthcoming season of Lower Decks! What are we most looking forward to, and what do we hope to see more of? Come for the fireside chat, stay for the TED talk.
