PoliTreks! Join us for politics, religion, and society around the replicator. Along with special guests, we choose to Boldly Go straight into the social, political, and sometimes spiritual underpinnings at the core of Star Trek. In this podcast, we aim to seek out new perspectives, and discover the ways Trek - past and present - can help us better understand the world as it is, and us as we are. We travel at warp speed through worlds, timelines, and dimensions with one mission: make sense of our reality!
PoliTreks is gearing up for the spooky season! Special guest Felicity Pickens a.k.a RadMissFliss jumps in with Shashank to confront the horrors of the Borg species. Resistance may be futile, but discussion is not, and everything about the Borg including their look, the concept of assimilation, theories about their origin, species 8472 and more are on the table.

039 - Diseases in Star Trek: Part 1
While much of the developed world begins a slow path toward recovery from COVID-19, the disease has taken a toll of near apocalyptic proportions on our co-host Shashank's homeland of India. With that as our backdrop, he and Barry take a look at the diseases in Star Trek. Some are physical, some mental, some flavor of the week, some that stretch across seasons, but all of them are thought provoking and discussion worthy.
