Episode 1: Hope, dread, and Star Trek: Discovery

Join authors Charlie Jane Anders and Annalee Newitz to explore storytelling, science, and cultural meaning in science fiction. In our first episode, we discuss the inaugural season of Star Trek: Discovery.

Is Michael Burnham the greatest hero? Why did we have to stay in the Mirror Universe so long? How does this show fit into the Star Trek pantheon? Is there too much fan service in this series? What is a Klingducken and why do we care? All these questions and more will be answered, or at least asked, and possibly mocked.
