Show Notes

The real Star Trek included 5 TV shows and a lot of films, many of which tackled social and political topics/issues in many episodes since the 1960s. This week, Tyler Vance, our Star Trek correspondent, joins MIke to discuss their favourite episodes that address many issues that are still very relevant today. We talk about race, class, gender, education, political tension, prejudice, and more. Was it always perfect? No, but we give you 10 episodes in total that were well ahead of their time
