Feminist Frequency's Star Trek Podcast

It’s the season finale of Feminist Frequency’s Star Trek Podcast as Ebony returns to discuss the final two episodes of Star Trek Discovery, season 4. Listen in as she and Anita catch up on how they’ve been feeling about the season overall, and make sure you stick around for The Hair Report!

Season 4 of Discovery is drawing to a close, and joining Anita to discuss how (un?)successfully it’s approaching that conclusion are returning special guests and Women at Warp: Jarrah Hodge and Sarah Gulde.

After a lengthy mid-season break, STAR TREK DISCOVERY season 4 is back and so are we! Joining Anita are two exciting returning guests: clinical psychologist Ali Mattu and NASA engineer Bobak Ferdowsi, both with impressive Star Trek credentials (such as having actually watched DS9). We had an awesome episode with them during season 3 of Disco, so we’re jazzed to have them back.

If you like Youtubers, Trekkies, and Trekkie Youtubers, this is your episode. Anita is joined by special guests Steve Shives and Jessie "Gender" Earl to discuss episodes 6 and 7. Listen in as they share their thoughts on the first half of the season (including the, so far, stellar handling of mental health issues), their hopes and speculations for the second half of the season (like the morally grey question of how to stop the DMA), who we’re star-shipping as a couple this season (you might be rooting for them too), and most controversially, Jonathan Frakes’ direction of episode 6 (gasp!) All this and more on today’s episode of Feminist Frequency’s Star Trek Podcast!

Writer, journalist, and returning guest Laura Hudson, and author, comedian, and new-to-the-podcast special guest Leighann Lord have both beamed aboard to join Anita in discussing episodes 4 & 5 of the 4th season of Star Trek: Discovery. Together we talk about our feelings on the season so far and dive into the finer points of these episodes’ strengths and weaknesses.

They’ve been guests of our podcasts in the past, but today Anita is excited to welcome both co-hosts of the Our Opinions Are Correct Podcast to the same episode of Feminist Frequency’s Star Trek Podcast: Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders. Together we discuss episodes 2 and 3 of season 4 of Discovery.

It’s been almost a year since we got together to talk about what’s been going with Michael, Saru, Tilly, and the rest of the USS Disco, but the show is back and so are we! Season 4 premiered on November 18th and we are so ready to talk about it. Listen in as Anita and Ebony recap season 3 before diving into the season premiere, sharing their thoughts, impressions and predictions for the season to come. And, of course, Ebony returns with a comprehensive Hair Report. Welcome back!

We’ve had amazing guests all season long, but much like Kirk and Spock, there’s really nothing like Anita and Ebony together. Back on the bridge for the final podcast of the season, Ebony is here with her thoughts and feelings on the conclusion of season 3 of Star Trek Discovery, season 4 predictions, as well as what we’ve all been waiting for: The Hair Report.

As season 3 of Star Trek Discovery heads towards its conclusion, and the mystery of The Burn is revealed, Anita welcomes returning guest YouTuber Steve Shives, as well award-winning science fiction and nonfiction writer, journalist and podcaster Annalee Newitz, here to discuss episodes 10 and 11. Listen in as our guests weigh in on the season as a whole, share some theories which would be devastating if true, and remind Anita why she started a Star Trek podcast in the first place.

Today on Feminist Frequency’s Star Trek podcast host Anita is joined by some very exciting guests. This episode sees the return of clinical psychologist Ali Mattu whose insights we’re always eager to hear. New to the podcast is Bobak Ferdowsi, a fault protection engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory with a very impressive Star Trek resume. Listen in as we offer our reactions, insights and headcanons on episodes 8 and 9 of the third season of Discovery, all while our guests fill in the gaps with those good good science facts and observations.
