The Spinal Frontier: A Star Trek Physiology Podcast

*MILD SPOILERS* Kelley and Eryn were soooo patient waiting for Picard Season 2 to end so they could gently spoil episode 2 in their excitement to talk all about these skulls! We’re talking eared skulls, green skulls, purple skulls, skulls that were meant to take a hit, ridgey skulls, toothy skulls, and skulls with weird holes. Thank you again to our friends Sophia and Adrienne at Where’s Beverly (https://www.spreaker.com/show/wheres-beverly) and Jeff from Starfleet Leadership Academy (https://www.starfleetleadership.academy/) for making sure we did not miss out on these skulls, and for connecting us with Neville Page, their masterful creator. Do yourself a favor and go follow all of these folks on the socials, because we adore them!

Kelley and Eryn bring themselves closer to Actually Good Sound quality in their bedroom closet, where they explore one of Eryn’s favorite topics: Star Trek ships. Highlights include biomimicry, Breen brine, space pinecones, meaty walls, Borg queen conspiracy theories, rearranging one’s “inside goop,” wall masseuses, and genetically modified jelly furniture. Also, in case you didn’t know, we like it when we’re filled with soup. Listen after the credits for a very special explanation.

Kelley and Eryn chat about the different prostheses of Star Trek, and the special abilities they confer. Kelley regularly imitated Geordi's VISOR with her headbands as a kid-- bless the early 90s--although it didn't help her see sweat. We also talk about the real version of the VISOR, pseudopupils, and why the Borg versions of ourselves would probably look like Minions.

Kelley and Eryn are married, moved, and minorly late in their return for season 2! We're talking phage homunculuses (homunculi?), the 90's band Hanson's contributions to science, mad cow disease, and other ways Julian Bashir likes to spend his time. We're so excited to be back-- stay tuned for the rest of the season!

Kelley and Eryn try their hand at staying on topic discussing hand morphology: hand hugs, aye-ayes, octopus stuff (are you surprised?), new perspectives on old Trek, and accidental pickpocketing at the bank.
