Season 2 of Prodigy is here!!  We take a SPOILER filled look at the 20 episodes and take a deep dive into the time travel in the season.

HFO goes NSFW yet again, as we welcome Bar Trek Philly's founder and host @lvnadahlia to the pod. This one's all about building community through #StarTrek, but we cover everything from sex work - both holographic and organic - to a neurodivergent love of Spock.

Today we look back at the mother of modern Trek shows- Star Trek Discovery and discuss it's finale.

Happy Pride!  We're kicking off our 4th season with a very special guest: Misty Chance!  You might recognize her from her faboulus Admrial Janeway drag persona or you've seen her perform in a Manchester's Gay Village, and now she's gracing us with her presense. :) 

We end our third season by looking ahead to the Star Trek Starfleet Academy series and what we'd love to see in it.

The pod is moving to having more guests on!  So that got us thinking about who we would love to have on.
