021 - Picard and the Sistas: Guinan, Lily, and Raffi

Explicit content warning

09/24/21 • 66 min

The SyFy Sistas look at the special relationship Captain Jean-Luc Picard maintains with three amazing Black women; Guinan, the El-Aurian bartender from his days on the Enterprise-D, Lily Sloane from his temporal incursion in the film Star Trek: First Contact (1996), and Raffaela (Raffi) Musiker, XO during his command of the Romulan evacuation and later his quest companion in the series Picard.

These three women have the ear of the Captain of the Enterprise D and E, the flagship of the Federation fleet, the Chief Contact with the Q Continuum, the Arbiter of Succession for the Klingon Empire, the Savior of Earth from the Borg Invasion, the face of the United Federation of Planets, and a few other things that only Yvette calls him. Our discussion ranges from their conversational styles to our appreciation of the TWA over ugly-ass wigs. But wait until you hear what Fran saw coming that no other SyFy Sista did.

020 - Malissa Longo of the 7th Rule Podcast

Join us for a long-awaited chat with the beautiful, talented, and resilient Malissa Longo, co-host of the 7th Rule Podcast with Cirroc Lofton and Ryan Husk. Malissa is also a business owner and the wife of our beloved Aron Eisenberg. But Malissa is a true multi-hyphenate, dancer, actor, and artist in her own right.

The conversation runs from Subrina's beleaguered defense of musicals to the uniqueness of the Star Trek community, Nana Visitor love, Malissa's new acting gig that may go to TV pilot to who is dodging Armin's Shakespeare course. J.D. brings us back from a Q rabbit hole with her love of Malissa's cuff bracelets and wearable art. And finally, Yvette, Tamia, and Fran pose questions we can all get behind, one of which is "Are there any Black Orions?"

022 - Collecting 101 with The Divine Treasury

It’s our first Trek Geeks Crossover Show with the Divine Treasury. The fun we have with our Fandom Friday social media posts on the Muthaship group page made the Sistas curious about collecting. So, we decided to go to the pros, Mike Bovia and Jamie Rogers, host of our sister show The Divine Treasury, for an overview on collecting. Jamie gives us critical intel on how to start (go with your passion), where to go for valuations (eBay is your friend), and how to take care of your hoard (don’t skimp). From cards, to films, to action figures, to comic books, we run through it all.

What the Sistas know is that collectors are diverse and collecting is rather personal. But what we discover is that collecting is another way to connect to the Star Trek community. Hunting for items is like a quest and you can meet all sorts of people in the community willing to help you. Part of the unexpected fun of collecting is swapping stories of your quest for that item that completes your collection. And wow, does Jamie have great stories!

Here are the links we mention in the show:
