Deep Space Pride: A Gay Star Trek Podcast

Deep Space Pride: A Gay Star Trek Podcast

Welcome to Deep Space Pride! Mike Thurlow and Johnson Lee are two self-professed gay geeks who love to obsess over Star Trek - join us as we talk about some of our favorite episodes, revel as yet another new series is announced, and ramble on about some off topic content. And maybe once in a while, we'll simply talk about living as two gay guys in New York City.
The One Where We Talk About the End of Discovery

The One Where We Talk About the End of Discovery

Shockingly, Mike and Johnson have different thoughts when it comes to the Discovery finale. At this point, we're publishing once a month! But life is busy and full of the unexpected. It's definitely been a long road and we're not sure how we got here, but Star Trek Discovery is over. On this week's ...

The One Where We Catch Up on Discovery

The One Where We Catch Up on Discovery

And after another unexpected break, we find out that we have four episodes of Discovery to catch up on! This is fine. April is but a distant memory, and we find ourselves in May - with Memorial Day right around the corner! Unfortunately, this means that we have NOT been keeping up with recording, an...

The One With the Discovery Season 5 Premiere

So after a bit of a break, we're back with new Trek and new episodes! Let's see how long we can keep it up. And in a blink of an eye, we're in April 2024.

113 - The One with Lower Deckers in Caves

113 - The One with Lower Deckers in Caves

With the cadence at which we're recording these episodes, there's a lot to catch up on! But mostly about everything else besides Star Trek because there's a a dearth of new Trek episodes on the horizon, and - oh right - the actor's strike. Maybe that's why we spend the majority of the episode chatti...

112 - The One with the Lower Decks Season 4 Premiere

112 - The One with the Lower Decks Season 4 Premiere

Star Trek Day was amazing this year and totally worth watching, right!? Given that there's going to be a dearth of Star Trek on the horizon doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of Star Trek to talk about! Between discussing Star Trek Day (which Mike watched and Johnson did not), Very Short Treks, and...

111 - The One with a Musical and a Season 2 Finale

The near end of summer also means that Strange New Worlds Season 2 has come to an end - with Season 3 airing in... 2025? We discuss this and other news items - which honestly isn't a lot considering the SAG/AFTRA strike. In fact, after Lower Decks Season 4 and Discovery Season 5, there might not be ...

110 - The One with the SNW/LD Crossover

We fast forward past a few SNW episodes to talk about a recent favorite, "Those Old Scientists!"

From the constant references to physical comedy, this episode is somehow able to...
