The Audience Won't Like It

Ep 1 - Star Trek "Inner Light", Kitty Wells, and Questionable Decisions


Listen Later

We unexpectedly launch our new podcast "The Audience Won't Like It" from our master bedroom closet, discussing one of the greatest Star Trek episodes ever made and exploring the music of country legend Kitty Wells.

• Recording in our closet studio with minimal preparation and equipment
• Introducing ourselves as Rob and Leslie, married podcast hosts with a passion for sci-fi and music
• Explaining our podcast format: discussing a Star Trek episode followed by performing a song
• Breaking down "The Inner Light" episode where Captain Picard lives an entire lifetime in 25 minutes
• Analyzing the emotional impact of Picard's family life on the planet Kataan
• Debating the scientific plausibility and plot holes in the episode's mind-transfer technology
• Discussing how the episode explores themes of memory, identity, and legacy
• Sharing our personal connection to Kitty Wells' music and why we chose "Searching" as our song
• Explaining how this podcast gives us a chance to play music together after years of marriage

Find our musical performances on our YouTube channel since we can't include copyrighted music in the podcast. We're just getting started, so bear with us as we figure this out!
