233: Neurotransmitters of Doom ("Man of the People")
It’s yet another episode where a creepy guy preys on Troi. But as we discuss, TNG’s “Man of the People” is also a surprisingly good jumping off point for discussion of more feminist themes, like emotional labor and aging women’s sexuality.  HOSTS Jarrah Andi Sue EDITOR Sue Send us your feedback!

227: New Lightyear, New Me: Character Growth in Star Trek
Personal growth can come in many forms: from dialing it back on the uncomfortable swagger around your coworkers, to realizing not all of your problems can be roundhouse kicked, to learning all of science to overcome isolation and boredom. As we enter the new year let's take a break from humoring our loved ones resolutions and regretting the ones we’ve already broken to think about growth. Join Grace, Sue, and Jarrah as they talk character growth in its many forms throughout Star Trek. HOSTS Grace Jarrah Sue EDITOR Sue Send us your feedback!

225: Diversity and Progressivism in Star Trek
It’s possible for a piece of media to feature diverse characters but not convey a progressive message, and vice versa. We’re joined by Subrina from SyFy Sistas to look at examples of this in Trek, and where the franchise has successfully combined the two.
