Episode 28: A Denobulan Thanksgiving

Welcome back space travelers to a very special episode! We're kicking it in the studio with Not Safe Media's own Brandyn Buchanan, who's here to talk with us about all things family and Trek. We take a deep dive into a few episodes, talk about our childhoods, and and get to the root of what family is. NOTE: This will be our last episode for the year. We are taking a short season break and will be back with some great new content next year. While we're gone, we will be making more episodes, Patreon content, merch, and more. Season 2 of GSC will be bigger and better, thanks to every one of you who listens. Check our links below to stay connected to the show while we are on our break.

Episode 27: Nobody Wants to Work Anymore

The pandemic's "worker shortage" has given us a lot to think about with regards to labor, our desires, and communism. So in the Star Trek future, how do we reckon with the amount of work that needs to be done? And who does that work? In this episode, we are doing a deep dive into the Trek workforce and its allegories to the real world. Tune into: Is there really a job for everyone? How does a jobs guarantee work?

Episode 25: Consciousness is Fanfiction

Everyone's got them, you can spread them, and they're kinda gross. That's right, today we're talking about feelings. We're looking at those in Trek who have feelings and those who don't. Maybe even delving into our own feelings a bit. Okay, gross. Let's just get into it. Mental health/care in Starfleet Social norms vs. emotions Emotional intelligence Is Star Trek a show about love?
