TOS 01:09, "Dagger of the Mind," with BettySoo

BettySoo is debuting original songs and covers, plus other great content on her Patreon page. You can become a patron for $3 a month.

Every Tuesday night, BettySoo shares the virtual stage with amazing musician guests for her "Nobody's Happy House" series (on Zoom). Guest musicians must face BettySoo's famous wheel, which prompts spontaneous (and often hilarious) acts of creative daring. To find out just what that means, head to bettysoo.com/shows to get your ticket for the next show.

Here's a link to the official Troubadours on Trek Spotify Playlist, where you can hear all the featured songs from every episode in one playlist (songs will be added as episodes air on Patreon):

-BettySoo's song pairing for this episode: “Remember The Tin Man,” by Tracy Chapman.

-Grace's song pairing for this episode: “I Wanna Be Sedated” by The Ramones.

-We forgot to talk about BettySoo's featured song, and to compensate for that oversight (and with BettySoo's blessing), I'm including two great BettySoo songs in our playlist, "The Things She Left Town With," and "Love is Real," both from the album, When We're Gone.

Corrections:

One possible Star Trek episode I could have referenced to supplement our conversation about Houston behaving like a giant amoeba is “The Immunity Syndrome” (Season 2, Episode 18), where the crew of the Enterprise takes out a giant, cosmic, pregnant amoeba-like organism with “antibodies.”The organization that my grandmother loved was the National Federation of the Blind. You can learn more about their work and the services they offer here: https://nfb.org/programs-servicesAs I mentioned in this episode, I am planning to find a way to transcribe this podcast, to make Troubadours on Trek accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community. When I started this podcast, I foolishly did not take this kind of accessibility into consideration. I'd like to rectify that, and I'm currently exploring affordable options for accurate transcription that don't add to my own current workload (I give about as much time as I'm able to already to this podcast). If you have any suggestions or advice on the subject, I'd love to hear it. Hopefully, as this Patreon page grows and/or as my audience grows for the podcast, I can outsource this and add transcription in the near future."Truth Be Told is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit service organization providing transformational tools of community building, communication skills, creativity and self-care for women behind and beyond prison walls.
