Women at Warp: A Star Trek Podcast

Three podcast thralls have been selected to look back on “The Gamesters of Triskelion” - an iconic TOS episode with a lot of problematic elements when analyzed with a modern lens.  We discuss the episode, how interpretations change over time, and whether core messages still hold up.  And as always, we’ll watch the lights in the sky.   Content Warning:  Discussions of violence, slavery, sexual assault, and transphobia.   HOSTS Sue Grace Kennedy   EDITOR Andi   Send us your feedback!

Black Planet was one of the earliest social media sites, created in 1999, and was geared towards Black Americans. In honor of Black History Month, Aliza and Kennedy do the important historical work of figuring out what's on the Black Planet profiles of several prominent Black Star Trek characters. Doing it for the culture, of course. HOSTS Aliza Pearl Kennedy Allen EDITOR Andi Send us your feedback!
