Women Talking About Star Trek Voyager

Justice for Ensign Caplan! Today the women discuss half-term, robes, and Sam's lipstick. Kat tells a long story about Fenella. On Voyager, it's the Borg! But not?? Oh wow! Freaky Borg sex!! Also, Sam has a lot to say about The Meg (2018), and Kat has a little to say about Discovery. Want to help people affected by the extreme weather in Texas and other parts of the US South? The New York times has...

CONTENT NOTE: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault. Deeply problematic views of sexual assault and harassment in the workplace! Mysterious aliens! Pon Farr! Pon Farr but make it Klingon! Neelix getting injured! A land nebula! The Borg?!?!?! This is an episode where Things Happen. Some of the things are very bad! But we make the controversial argument that some of the things are not b...

For this, the celebration of the 2nd anniversary of Women Talking about Star Trek Voyager, the women talk about: The Nanny Part of the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery Kat's negative experiences with the news media The Office (US) Victorian architecture Sam's mysterious embargoed thing she has on this week The Original Series episode 'Amok Time' Les Mis Thank you so much for being with us ove...

This week, we punch up a joke LIVE and in REAL TIME! You're so welcome. We have a special guest appearance by Fenella, who is almost always present for our recordings but only rarely so loud. We tease a new segment, and then we forget to actually start doing it. Sam recently saw The Prestige (2006) and she has thoughts. This podcast is about Star Trek: Voyager, and you are all very lucky that it e...

Happy New Year! New year new us! And we enjoyed this episode of Voyager! So there's that. Thanks for listening! Stick around until the very end for a treat ;)

Why is our Christmas special about The Prom (2020), which is not a Christmas movie? I don't know, what is time? One of us loved The Prom, and one of us hated it. It's the Tom Paris of this season's Netflix offerings! The Prom Paris! We had a lot of fun recording this, it's fun when we disagree but fundamentally agree!  Happy Holidays, everyone, and a huge thank you for listening! See you in 2...

Alas, Mr Tuvok, I sleep alone. This week we discuss sweet potato pie, DARE (Drug And violence Resistance Education - what an acronym), Christian covers of pop music, an iconic story about Bea Arthur and Tallulah Bankhead, Sam having a much better plan for the structure of this episode, and by the way this is a Neelix episode. Thank you for listening!

We recorded this at the end of October, truly a different time, and Kat was in a terrible mood, oh boy! One of our most unfocused episodes yet, maybe consider starting at about 21 minutes in. Because before that we spend a huge amount of time talking about Wales’s firebreak lockdown, now a distant memory, and Halo Top, and an extremely minor thing about Wales’ covid response that Kat was terrified...

Welcome to Transatlantic Dames: a Star Trek Voyager Recap Podcast Composed Entirely of Tangents. This is a Q episode, and it's also about the US Civil War, yikes! As is tradition, we recorded this many weeks ago, so enjoy the strange liminal space of early October 2020. We talk about the Life in the UK test and other immigration issues, the Mad About You/Friends cinematic universe, the English Civ...

[Content note: This episode raises some issues around sex and consent that we discuss throughout, but mainly from 31.30-33.45 and around 50 min. Body snatching: a sci-fi trope with unexpected (to Kat at least) implications!] Joining you from Lockdown II: Electric Boogaloo, it's Sam and Kat! We recorded this episode in September, and we opened by talking about lockdown, which Wales went back into t...

In this long-awaited cliff-hanger conclusion, Sam and Kat discuss the Twilight franchise, paranoid libertarian yokels, Fenella's UTI, British Home Stores (RIP) which for some reason we refer to by its full name every time, Chronowerx and its union-busting practices, and (for no particular reason) Elon Musk. This is a Star Trek podcast! What are you, Einstein?! Thanks for listening! See you again i...

In this episode, the first of a big and exciting two-parter, our tangents include: musicals, an extremely out-of-date discussion of a previous episode, the non-existence of heterosexual men (we've never met one, not once, we have no proof they exist), how to hire Sam for your wedding/funeral/auction house/funfayre/ etc., and Spicy Eggroll Beggley, Jr. I'll have chives on mine! Part II is out next...

Sam and Kat chat about podcasts, quiche, soil types, our Drag Race hot takes, ponds, texts from men, the Mariana Trench and other nebulae, Mame (1966), and also this is a Star Trek podcast. We had mixed feelings about this episode. Stick to the path, follow your tour guide!

It's a B'Elanna episode! And it's a good episode! What a treat!!! Also, Sam and Kat learn who Lady in Red is (kind of), talk about our childhood bedrooms, and have an extended (and very timely!!...) discussion about Cats (2019).

It's Bill and Ted's Ferengi Adventure! Whoa dude, I hate this episode. Sam hates it a little less than I do. Leslie Jordan is in it though, so that's fun for one and all!

Hey all, a note from Kat: my audio is not good in this episode, but after this episode it goes back to the sparkling quality (ish) you experienced in the last episode. Sorry about that! This week we talk about an episode with a distinct A plot and B plot, but we're not sure which is which. We also talk a lot about opera, because this is an opera episode! And we discuss Sam's smash hit musical 'Hel...

This week we tackle a monster-of-the-week episode in which Tom and Harry are in space prison together. It is, to quote Sam, 'spicy and tedious'. Enjoy!

This week, Kat and Sam talk about gaseous anomalies, growing up in places that are hotter than South Wales, and how representations of women and gender roles have changed from Star Trek:TOS up to today. What a wild ride!

Welcome to Season 3! This episode is such a mess, I edited out so much irrelevant nonsense and it still seems like a surprisingly large percentage of the episode is about eg. eggs, jam, burning hair (that's at least semi-relevant), and legless lizards. This podcast is about Star Trek: Voyager. Enjoy! 

This week we're bringing you Voyager's second season finale, and it's a cliffhanger! Will the gang make it out of this one okay?? Unlike in the golden era of broadcast television (that was the 90s, right?) we won't make you wait until autumn for the next part...it's coming out next week!

Hey listeners, before we get started, we wanted to share a couple of recommendations. Kat has one for the gamers: Itch.io has put together the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, for a minimum donation of $5 you get nearly 1500 games (!) https://itch.io/b/520/bundle-for-racial-justice-and-equality And if you're a fan of quality podcasts (...what are you doing here? Ha.) Sam recommends Busy Bei...

Tonight/Is the night/When Tu(vok and Neelix) become one.  On this episode, Tuvok and Neelix, the original odd couple, are fused into a single organism along with a magic orchid. Hijinx ensue! Kat and Sam have divergent opinions about this iconic episode - are you #teamsam or #teamkat?? Also, the Delaney sisters (Terry and Delby) get a mention despite not appearing for some time in the actual...

The women start off with a failed countdown, a discussion about how hard it is to talk (particularly for Kat), and Garden Chat(TM). Then they talk about The Thaw, an episode they both hated on first watch, and continue to not massively enjoy. I (Kat) am aware that my audio continues to be unacceptably bad, I am working on it. Also, this episode is late because I (Kat) forgot what day it was! We ho...

This week, Sam and Kat discuss another Voyager episode that is basically about death. Yay! Also, Sam and Kat recount their salad days at Tisch, Kat learns what a punt is (the boat kind), and the ladies pitch a sci-fi concept we wish existed: Space Amish. More details about the virtual event Kat mentions at the end of the episode: http://2020.antiuniversity.org/events/way-out-culture-exit-from-plan...

WELCOME TO THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON!!!!!  This was recorded in the beginning of March so it reflects the time then... when we could go places and had things! I assume Kat's plug at the end of the episode is cancelled... but who knows.
