SPOILER ALERT:   To miss the totally unavoidable Discovery spoilers in the first part of this week's show, feel free to skip ahead to 21:10 where we have a short, non-spoiler intro before getting into the episode proper.

We're coming to you this week with an unusually long (but hopefully enjoyable!) Side Mission episode, diving deep into Gates McFadden and Whoopi Goldberg - two of our favorite Next Generation women.

*Technical note: Towards the end of the episode you'll notice Amber's recording goes a little fuzzy as her recording equipment was being temperamental, but the show must go on!  We hope your listening ears aren't too offended, and will be back with tip top sound quality next week.
