## Resource

The Sheperd of Trek We kick off Season 6 with Rod Roddenberry, the humble steward of Star Trek. Tamia called him the "Shepherd of Trek," and by the end of our chat, he proved her point without even realizing it. We didn't agree on everything — and that's okay. Every conversation came back to IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations), the principle that makes Star Trek meaningful 60 years later. 🎧 Listen in and don't miss the start of Season 6! 🖖🏾 Websites: Roddenberry Industries http://www.roddenberry.com/ The Roddenberry Foundation https://roddenberryfoundation.org/ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera, Stephanie Baker Logo: Dena Massenburg ( @blackbeanz70 ) Music: "Poppin off the Rip" by RAGE (YouTube Audio Library) The SyFy Sistas Podcast — named 2025 Best All-Around Star Trek Podcast by TrekMovie Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/syfysistas Subscribe, Like, Share: linktr.ee/syfysistas Find us on The Trek Geeks Podcasts Network: trekgeeks.com FanSets — Our pins have character.
