Great episode... and they hit on some really interesting things we didn't get to when we interviewed Mike. I am liking this #StarTrekUnited idea a little more every day. (Plus it was fun to hear about the Enterprise episode with Dean Stockwell.)

I did not know this podcast was back. I know politics is overwhelming right now, but from my listens a few years ago, this makes political commentary a bit more fun with a Star Trek twist

Captain Kirk's Wisdom Destroys Trump’s Divisive Politics

@trekpolitics.bsky.social analyzes The Day of the Dove from #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS, comparing the violence/rage-inducing entity to social media & certain orange people.
Another case of old Trek being surprisingly poignant for the modern day.
