Angel Two: a feminist Star Trek podcast

In each episode, we discuss an aspect of Star Trek from a feminist perspective; specific episodes, characters, themes and the implied messages about humanity and equality in the future as well as in the last 50 years. Don't worry. We're card-carrying humourless feminists, so we'll never, ever wander off topic or make terrible Trek jokes or devolve into one-upwomanship over who knows more about Trek. It's clearly Fiona who obviously isn't writing this in the hated third person. Oh yes, indeedy.

Angel Two: A Feminist Deadloch Podcast nuqneH, friends! We ate'nt dead, despite what PocketCasts tells me when I open our show page. This has been a long time in the works, mostly because editing caused me literal pain for several months. It's a short story, but quite dull. Herniated spinal disc; lots of opiates, yet still much lying on the floor wishing for the pain to end. At least SAD thought better of showing up, so small mercies and all that. Anyway. I've just finished editing the episode and just now realised that I should have written down everything that I said I would link in the show notes. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Cucumbers In Space by Dennis McCarthy: Deep Space Nine Theme, with more guitars also by Dennis McCarthy: Captain of the Mount by Fall On Your Sword The Spotify version is quite different for legal reasons iirc, so it contains zero Shat. Why am I saying that like it's a bad thing? Eh. For me though, it works best as the unhinged ramblings of someone who thinks he has artistic vision, but I'm not going to deny the folks who made the track the opportunity to earn 0.002p from a listen. But srsly, Bill? Where no man has gone before?? It's El Capitan - pure hunners have been there before! Even women! sigh Data & Picard by that flaming heap of shite - I've linked to a video that uses the visuals that match the sampled lines from the show . Content warning - he's a raging bigot and uses disablism to try to cover it. The slurs are bleeped, but brace yourself. There's a lot of bleeping. Of Romulus: and Warp 11 (are they super-evolved salamanders?): and The Vulcan Freedom Fighters: (where this all began for me, though a newer remix) and if you want to try for a spit-take, . Here's their page, too! Saving the best? for last: . In about 1990, my brother performed the Spock role in our local Scout and Guide Gang Show. I have no evidence, sadly. It doesn't seem to be on Spotify, sadly. The Firm, not by brother or the Gang Show from 35 years ago. There is maybe a weird kids' cover but I'm not messing up my algorithmic recommendations with that. I want to find new music I might enjoy, not torment my nephew with! I've likely missed a bunch of stuff, but if you join our (it's free! But you can give us some money if you really want to) you can ask me there. Our Facebook page is something like Facebook.com/angeltwopodcast. I think the twitter account still exists, but I deleted my personal account as soon as I was able to download my data and there's nothing that can induce me to go back to that hellsite, sorry. We are, however, on and while swapping between accounts is still a bit cumbersome, there are significantly fewer neo-Nazis, which is nice. P.S. Watch Deadloch! It's nothing even remotely like Star Trek, but it's hilarious and brilliant. If you're not used to Australian humour, stick with it past episode one - it's so worth the tiny effort. It's on Amazon Prime (at least, here it is) and probably the high seas if you understandably don't want to fund the corporate behemoth that will probably destroy us all. Even if they do have Picard without putting it behind the extra Paramount+ subscription. /episode/index/show/angelone/id/30384623
