It's just science.

We had the immense JOY of recording with @jodipickens.bsky.social from the @clonestarpodcast.com last night. It was an excellent reminder that the true reward of doing this pod for us is finding our people. 🖖🏻🖖🏾🖖🏻 Gratitude upon gratitude for Jodi’s generosity. Stay tuned for this one soon!

From our SNW Season 3 HAIR REVIEW episode How could we not dwell hard on the iconic Uhura in this episode? Our resident hair and wig professionals @annarozay.bsky.social educates us on #BantuKnots and how the execution of Uhura’s wedding look may have missed the mark. #startrek #startrekpodcast

OUT NOW! Hair and wig professional @annarozay.bsky.social joins us to cover the best/worst of SNW Season 3 when it comes to wigs, weaves, falls, and extensions. Is this just a bunch of shallow queers getting frivolous? Or is hair one of Trek's most powerful tools for character, culture, and story?

So much fun last night hosting actor Zuri Washington from #StarTrekKhan on the pod last night. We got the inside scoop on the making of this new #StarTrek audio drama. Zuri was a delight! We spent the evening nerding out over voice acting, theater, and - of course - KHAAAAAN! Soon in our feed!

Friends, we had the extraordinary pleasure of hosting Dr. Trek himself on our newest pod, The Great Larry Nemecek. @larrynemecek.bsky.social We went deeeeeep on early TNG history. Larry was beyond generous with his time and his staggering wealth of knowledge. Do not miss this one!

Why would a #StarTrek podcast do an episode about #themeparks? THIS IS WHY:

What do you think of Lanita’s take on Four-and-Half Vulcans? Let us know! From our #StrangeNewWorlds Season 3 recap episode with our friends @mattljenn.bsky.social and @leighellenm.bsky.social Still hoping @maryltrump.bsky.social will join us to talk Trek politics one of these days..

OUT NOW: Lanita has seen 100% of televised Trek but NOT the movies. So we’re covering her first viewing 1 by 1. Fresh perspective! The great cosplay drag queen @dmandamartini.bsky.social joins us for the original crew’s cinematic swan song. STAR TREK VI THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.

DROPPED TODAY! @dmandamartini.bsky.social guest cohosts on Lanita’s first watch of STAR TREK VI. THE ICON Kim Cattrall had to bring a littttttle scandal to her legendary Trek appearance

Did you miss ‘Through the Lens of Time’ on #StrangeNewWorlds this season? Don’t worry, @leighellenm.bsky.social has got you covered. (Not shown: The subsequent defense of this episode.)

Our Strange New Worlds Season 3 recap is LIVE NOW! This one was a beast so we needed to bring in some of our favorite pod friends to lighten the load: @mattljenn.bsky.social from @1701blerd.bsky.social and @leighellenm.bsky.social from @toproudlygo.org

We dropped our SNW3 recap this week. But - being who we are - we needed to book @annarozay.bsky.social ASAP for a Season 3 HAIR RECAP. If this sounds like just a bunch of frivolous queers dishing hair, boy have you misread us! Hair in Trek is one of the best windows into character we have.

We had an amazing time with Alex from @deosildesigns.bsky.social as she took us through her #StarTrek #tarot deck. We obviously went deep on our favorites. Especially… “If there’s nothing wrong with me, there must be…” Oh you all know!!

How does a canonista like our own @themikejones.bsky.social sleep at night?? He creates alternate timelines to make it all make sense! #startrek #startrekpodcast #hailingfrequenciesopen #queertrekkies #queernerds #llap #idic #strangenewworlds

We brought in some friends of the pod to do our #StrangeNewWorlds Season 3 recap. @mattljenn.bsky.social @1701blerd.bsky.social @leighellenm.bsky.social Not rowdy at all. No fun was had. Look for this one in your feed soon! #StarTrek #StarTrekPodcast #QueerTrekkies #QueerNerds #LLAP #IDIC

Our new episode about Trek Tarot is live now! Check out the YouTube version so you can see all the beautiful illustrations. Featuring Alex from @deosildesigns.bsky.social youtu.be/mnGpgVHTEpc?...

Listening to Alex from @deosildesigns.bsky.social talk about her Trek themed tarot cards was transcendent!! Between her knowledge of Tarot, her depth of 90’s Trek fandom, and her smooth buttery speaking voice, we were in full-on podcast Pon Farr. Find this one now! It’s out!!

We had the absolute honor and joy last night of hanging out with the great writer, podcaster, and #StarTrek historian @larrynemecek.bsky.social for a bit of early TNG history. We could’ve talked to Larry all night! But we promise we eventually let him sign off.

We found our voice in Season 4! Trekkies are the coolest humans in the universe, and so many of them said yes when we asked them to come talk to us. Check out the video link below to our BEST OF SEASON 4. www.instagram.com/reel/DOYmJ_6...

Just the home team recording last night! Sometimes we need to re-center ourselves.

@dmandamartini.bsky.social speculates about life on the D. #startrek #startrekpodcast #llap #idic

Who fell down an elevator shaft?? Pod guest @dmandamartini.bsky.social spills some seriously old tea on our newest pod release.

Thanks @jarrak.bsky.social We love our loyal listeners!! 🖖🏼🖖🏻🖖🏾

Y’all, we got a Season 5 glow-up! Can you spot the differences??

We fully abused the generosity of renowned cosplay drag queen @dmandamartini.bsky.social this week, recording a killer double header. We spent some time getting to know her, then dug deep into Lanita’s virgin viewing of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Can’t wait to share these episodes

Misunderstandings abound on this convention recap episode.

Jackson Juniper has some thoughts about Rick Berman.

We asked @toproudlygo.org ‘s resident drag king Jackson Juniper to come on the pod and talk about pegging. He did not disappoint!

OUT NOW! Friend of the pod - and delightfully insidious Garak drag king - JACKSON JUNIPER, joined us on the pod. Listen now while it’s fresh!

We had @lucyblueskies.bsky.social on the pod again this week. Because (A) we have a huge crush on her and (B) we had to get the recap of SLUT TREK 2025. Never was there a truer celebration of the #IDIC values of #StarTrek than SLUT TREK! Look for that one in your feed soon…

Our recap of the Trek Long Island con is now live! We go through the good, the bad, and the ugly, no holds barred! (Spoiler: the bad and the ugly all rhyme with Wyatt Wegency.) Congrats to Stefanie and Paul from @treklongisland.bsky.social on an amazing weekend!

Is that an Ortegas episode I spotted in the mix there??? youtu.be/cwqPH7UhKYI?...

Had to get the gang together this week to tell Lanita all the news from the con! @treklongisland.bsky.social @toproudlygo.org @leighellenm.bsky.social

So proud of our friend of the pod Matt Jennings! The screening of his web series 1701: A BLERD STORY at @treklongisland.bsky.social was amazing! And the conversation that followed really cut deep. @mattljenn.bsky.social @1701blerd.bsky.social

Meeting @dattico.bsky.social in person was one of the highlights of @treklongisland.bsky.social

As soon as we found out our cohost Lanita - who has seen ALL of televised Star Trek - had never seen STAR TREK IV THE VOYAGE HOME we said: STOP! We’re making a pod about your first viewing, and YOU’RE the guest. Only @mattljenn.bsky.social from @1701blerd.bsky.social could fill her cohost seat.

Again: HFO asks the hard questions! On our STAR TREK IV rewatch, guest co-host @mattljenn.bsky.social from @1701blerd.bsky.social asks: WHAT WAS MADELINE COMIN’ IN TO DO?? #startrek #startrekpodcast #hailingfrequenciesopen #justiceformadeline #idic #llap

This was an amazing part of SLUT TREK. Can’t overstate what an amazing time this was. @lucyblueskies.bsky.social

HFO made it to SLUT TREK and @lucyblueskies.bsky.social was beyond belief! 🔥🔥🔥

We’re so excited for SLUT TREK this Sunday in Boston. Will you be there? Check out our episode with Slut Trek founder Lucy Blueskies to learn all about it. @lucyblueskies.bsky.social #startrek #hailingfrequenciesopen #startrekpodcast #queertrekkies #llap #idic

Why is this now a fully impossible purchase? Season 1&2 TNG uniforms - particularly the gold - are all but impossible to find. Anyone know something we don’t?

He’s hiding something, Captain. Happy Birthday to our host and Captain @themikejones.bsky.social

Again: HFO asks the hard questions! On our STAR TREK IV rewatch, guest co-host @mattljenn.bsky.social from @1701blerd.bsky.social asks: WHAT WAS MADELINE COMIN’ IN TO DO?? #startrek #startrekpodcast #hailingfrequenciesopen #justiceformadeline #idic #llap

Anyone in our orbit have Star Trek theme park experience?? @themikejones.bsky.social

As soon as we found out our cohost Lanita - who has seen ALL of televised Star Trek - had never seen STAR TREK IV THE VOYAGE HOME we said: STOP! We’re making a pod about your first viewing, and YOU’RE the guest. Only @mattljenn.bsky.social from @1701blerd.bsky.social could fill her cohost seat.

Our (re)watch of STAR TREK IV is live now! Our co-host Lanita has seen ALL of televised Trek, but has somehow missed this classic Trek film. She watched with fresh eyes for the first time for this episode! We needed our friend Matt Jennings to join as guest co-host so Lanita could be the guest.
