Mission Log Podcast

Trip Tucker is eager to make some new friends when Enterprise encounters a ship full of friendly aliens. A little cultural exchange, some unusual food, a telepathic game, and suddenly Trip finds himself boldly going where no human male has gone before: he’s pregnant.

This week on Mission Log, John and Holly explore “Unexpected,” where an innocent encounter raises some surprisingly complicated questions about cultural differences, gender expectations, and informed consent. When the unexpected happens, can curiosity and empathy overcome our instinct to judge?

Sometimes exploring strange new worlds means getting a little uncomfortable. Just remember to practice safe melding.

Hosted by John Champion and Holly Amos
