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.
