Thanks to Kirsten's caving, this episode features three of Maria's favorite episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9 ). Our shared love of Star Trek has brought us even closer together over the years. This conversation covers everything from an examination of why specific series are comforting to us, to the power of facial hair, and even connecting the dots between a DS9 episode and the Hawaiian Renaissance. There is lots of laughter and nerding out in this lighthearted episode.
