Stay ConnectedChris loves Star Trek. Rachel had never watched it. Until 2017, when this podcast began.
This is a podcast where Rachel and Chris talk about each episode of Star Trek, from the original TOS pilot onwards, getting her outsider’s perspective on one of the most influential Sci-fi shows of all time.
Rachel watches the first part of the Deep Space 9 episode - The Emissary! Will she love it? Will she hate it? Will she fall asleep? Only one way to find out!

On this episode we’re joined by Professor Ben Auerbach, PhD, who works in biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, and anatomy in the Department of Anthropology at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and is an adjunct professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He has a special interest in eugenics and helps us to answer the question '‘does the eugenics presented in this episode make any sense?’.
