What happens when you revisit Star Trek: Enterprise through a feminist lens? 🚀

This week on Hailing Frequencies Open, we’re joined by Holli and Leigh Ellen from the podcast Go Phlox Yourself to talk about their Enterprise rewatch, why a feminist perspective brings new dimensions to the series, and what the show has to say about gender, representation, and Trek’s complicated history. Plus, we get to know Holli a little better!

Join us for a conversation about revisiting an often-debated Trek series, asking new questions about old episodes, and boldly going where feminist analysis takes us. 🖖 https://gophloxyourself.com/

Stunt Performer Anita Nittoly

Mike Jones — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT

This week we’re joined by Anita Nittoly, a stunt performer, fight choreographer, and rigger whose work has helped bring the action of modern Trek!

Anita takes us behind the scenes of creating the fights, falls, stunts, and physical performances that make Trek’s biggest action moments believable. We talk about what goes into choreographing a fight for the screen, the difference between performing a stunt and making sure another performer can do it safely, and what it takes to build a career in the stunt world.

Plus, we get into Anita’s journey from dance and stage combat to working on some of the biggest shows in the Star Trek universe. It’s a conversation about creativity, collaboration, safety, and the people who literally put their bodies on the line to make Trek exciting!

Cosplayer Jessica Crouse!

Mike Jones — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT

This week on Hailing Frequencies Open, we’re joined by lesbian cosplayer, actress, model, playwright, and all-around nerd Jessica Crouse!

Jessica talks with us about her journey into cosplay, bringing iconic characters like Xena Warrior Princess, Seven of Nine, Jadzia Dax, Black Widow, and Bellatrix Lestrange to life, and what it means to create characters that resonate with the LGBTQ+ community. We also dive into convention culture, queer representation in fandom, the art and craft behind cosplay, and why sometimes the most important part of being a queer nerd is simply finding your people.

And of course, because this is HFO, expect plenty of ridiculousness, some spicy opinions, and a whole lot of queer nerd energy!

Mike, Damian, and Lanita are joined by Matt Jennings, Jodi Pickens, and Anna Rozay for a lively, hilarious, and occasionally VERY opinionated discussion of everything SNW has thrown at us so far.

What’s working? What isn’t? Which characters are stealing the show? And where does Season 4 rank among the best of Strange New Worlds so far?

Come aboard as we laugh, argue, overanalyze, and boldly go through Episodes 1–6 of Season 4!

Mike Jones — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Hop in the ARGO as we continue our "Lanita Watches Trek for the First Time" series with a no-holds-barred review of Star Trek: Nemesis—and let's just say… we have thoughts. A lot of them.

Joined by guest co-host Leigh Ellen, we break down everything from questionable plot choices and missed character opportunities to the chaotic energy of Shinzon and that very intense final act. For Lanita, it's a first-time voyage into one of Trek's most divisive films—and her reactions do not disappoint.

Expect laughs, hot takes, and a healthy amount of "wait…why did they do that?" as we dig into what works, what really doesn't, and whether Nemesis deserves its reputation… or a second look.

The Art of Star Trek Hair with Ryan Reed

Mike Jones — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT

This week, we go full warp into the world of on-screen transformation with Emmy-level hair wizard Ryan Reed—the creative force behind the iconic looks of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Section 31, and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

From designing bold new alien aesthetics to shaping deeply intentional character arcs through hair, Ryan pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to run a department on a massive franchise. We get into the artistry, the chaos, and yes—the occasional "that wasn't my decision" moments 👀.

We dive into:

The collaborative (and sometimes complicated) process between designers, producers, and actors
Crafting culturally authentic and story-driven hairstyles—especially for Black characters and textured hair
The evolution of Burnham's hair (and why those braids mattered)
Building unique looks for Klingons, cadets, and brand-new alien species
The technical magic behind wigs, prosthetics, and continuity (spoiler: it's a LOT of work)
Why hair is never "just hair"—it's storytelling

Plus, Ryan shares how Michelle Yeoh helped shape her own look, how younger casts bring new creative freedom, and why background aliens deserve just as much love as the leads.

This episode is a love letter to the unsung artistry behind the scenes—and proof that in Star Trek, every strand has a story.

Kirk/Spock and a peek into Fan Fiction with Jackson Torii Bart

Mike Jones — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 10:15:00 GMT

This week we're joined by writer and fandom historian Jackson Torii Bart for a deep dive into the origins of Kirk/Spock slash fiction and the larger history of fan-created slash.

From mimeograph machines to modern fan archives, we unpack the creativity, resistance, community-building, and joy that fueled early slash writers—many of them women and queer fans carving out space in a media landscape that rarely reflected them. We also talk about the stigma slash faced, the evolution of fanfiction platforms, and why Kirk/Spock remains such a powerful pairing more than half a century later.

It's a thoughtful, celebratory, and occasionally spicy conversation about fandom history, queer subtext, and the radical act of fans telling the stories they needed to see. 🖖

Insurrection

Mike Jones — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 09:11:00 GMT

This week, we're heading to the Briar Patch and asking the big question: is Star Trek: Insurrection the most underrated Star Trek film… or a 2 hour episode?

Lanita is back in the captain's chair for another first-time watch as we continue her journey through the Trek films — and this one comes with fountains of youth, space diplomacy drama, and some extremely questionable Federation ethics. 👀

Joining us Lucy Blueskies, who brings big theatrical energy and sharp insight as we unpack this classic film.

Is it a rebellion? A midlife crisis? A pastoral fever dream in space? We debate it all — with laughs, hot takes, and plenty of love for the crew of the Enterprise-E.

Strap in. Lower the sails. And maybe avoid the metaphasic radiation unless you're ready to glow up. ✨

Starfleet Academy- Let's Talk Characters!

Mike Jones — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:30:00 GMT

Class is in session at Starfleet Academy—and we've got thoughts.

This week, we're joined by friends of the pod Leigh Ellen and Alex to dig into the characters shaping Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, from the power players at the top to the cadets just beginning their Starfleet journeys. We break down leadership styles, messy brilliance, and the kind of character choices that tell you exactly what kind of future this show is building.

On the command side, we unpack Chancellor Capt. Nahla Ake, F. Adm. Charles Vance, Lt. Cdr. Lura Thok, Cdr. Jett Reno, and the ever-iconic Doctor.

Then it's on to the cadets: Caleb Mir, Darem Reymi, Jay-Den Kraag, S.A.M., and Tarima Sadal. We talk chemistry, queer coding, and which of these future officers already feel destined for greatness… or chaos.

It's a character-forward conversation full of speculation, affection, and a little side-eye—because if Starfleet Academy is about shaping the future, these people are the ones to watch. 🖖✨

Mike Jones — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 09:00:00 GMT

The Star Trek movie journey continues with one of the franchise's most talked-about entries: Star Trek: First Contact. For Episode 126, we're joined by special guest host Sonyl Nagale as Lanita watches the film for the very first time, continuing her path through the Star Trek movies as a true film virgin.

With the Borg threatening humanity, Picard confronting his trauma, and the unforgettable Borg Queen making her chilling debut, we dig into what makes this film stand out—from its darker tone and action-forward energy to the character moments that still resonate decades later. Seeing it all through Lanita's fresh perspective sparks new conversations and a few surprises along the way.

Does First Contact win her over, or is resistance still futile? Join us as we engage with one of Star Trek's most iconic cinematic chapters.

Mike Jones — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 09:00:00 GMT

From the Star Trek Adventure at Universal Studios to The Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas, the franchise has a long and fascinating history with theme parks. This week, Mike, Damian, and Lanita explore that legacy and chat with Matthew Jennings from Star Trek: Red Alert at Universal Studios Hollywood's Fan Fest Nights. Matthew shares what it's like to bring Trek to life for fans in person—and how Starfleet found its place among the thrill rides.

Mike Jone's Pitch for the theme park: https://hailingfrequenciesopen.wordpress.com/2025/10/07/pitch-mike-jones-star-trek-theme-park/

Drag King- Jackson Juniper!

Mike Jones — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 10:00:00 GMT

This week, we're joined by the incredible Jackson Juniper (he/they) — a New York-based drag king and cosplay performer who brings sci-fi swagger and queer joy to every stage he beams onto. As the first drag king to join the crew of To Proudly Go, NYC's nonprofit charity drag show and Star Trek viewing party, Jackson has helped open the doors for even more kings to join the mission.

We chat with Jackson about his journey into cosplay drag, the magic of performing as beloved Trek characters, and why drag and Star Trek are a match made in the final frontier. Plus, we dig into queer and trans representation in the franchise, the legacy of Kirk/Spock fan fiction, and how fandom can be a powerful space for identity and transformation.

It's a glorious mix of glitter, gender, and galaxy-class geekery — don't miss it!

Debate Club- Who Should Be In Charge of Star Trek?

Mike Jones — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 08:59:00 GMT

Order in the court! ⚖️ This week we convene a very special session of Q's Court, where the fate of the Star Trek franchise hangs in the balance. Presiding over the chaos is our all-powerful judge, Honorable Judge Lanita Q Ward-Jones, with Austin dutifully serving as the bailiff and keeping the proceedings (somewhat) under control.

Joining us for this cosmic courtroom debate are returning guests Anna Rozay and Jodi Pickens, who present their cases, along with Mike Jones & Damizon for who should take the captain's chair behind the scenes of Star Trek. The contenders? A powerhouse lineup of Trek talent:

Terry Matalas
Tawny Newsome & Mike McMahan
Kirsten Beyer
Jonathan Frakes

Each candidate is put on trial as we debate their vision, past Trek contributions, and what kind of future they could chart for the franchise. From bold cinematic leadership to character-driven storytelling to chaotic comedy energy, we weigh the merits of each would-be steward of the Final Frontier.

Arguments are made. Evidence is presented. Objections are (probably) ignored. And ultimately, Judge Lanita must decide who deserves to guide Star Trek into its next era.

Court is now in session. 🖖

Episode Description:
This week on Hailing Frequencies Open, we're stepping into the Holodeck with the incomparable Nzinga from Holodeck Heauxs Instagram for a conversation that's equal parts Star Trek fandom, queer joy, and unapologetic holodeck-level chaos.
