Larissa and Lauren welcome their very first guest, cellist and sci-fi nerd Joshua Dent! The trio gets deep into discussion about Star Trek’s mixed race characters, and what their depictions say to and about the mixed race community. How does Worf feel about Romulan/Klingon hybrid fun times? Do you need a whole ass Klingon to test genetic viral immunity? Is there a little Filipino lady in Larissa’s tummy who tells her when she’s hungry? Listen and find out!
