Space, the final frontier (for real this time)! We’re chatting about one of the foundational franchises of the sci-fi genre: Star Trek. In this episode, we talk about the origins of Star Trek and how the themes and conflicts within the series acted as comparison points for what was going on politically and culturally in the 1960s. We also talk about the real-world impact of Star Trek and how futuristic technology depicted in the series (and other sci-fi series and films) influence innovation in our lives.
