The SyFy Sistas Scene Draft Some scenes deserve a conversation all their own. The SyFy Sistas revisit Season 1 of "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" one scene at a time. Each of us brings our picks across five categories: the scene that changed how we looked at a character, broke our heart, made us fall in love with Star Trek all over again, hit differently on a rewatch, and was better than the entire episode. Three Sistas. Fifteen scenes. Every pick has a story. 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6! ______________________________________________ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera & Stephanie Baker Logo: Dena Massenburg 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.

19/06/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
Beltalowda! "After years of hoping for this conversation…" Dominique Tipper joins the SyFy Sistas. Dominique sits down with Tamia, Fran, and Yvette for a joyful conversation about her journey as an artist, her unforgettable portrayal of Naomi Nagata on The Expanse, and the projects that have followed. We talk about Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Testament: The Story of Moses, stage work, storytelling, fandom, and what it means when a character continues to resonate long after a series ends. Along the way, we revisit the legacy of The Expanse, the passion of the Screaming Firehawks, and the impact Naomi Nagata continues to have on science fiction fans around the world. Most importantly, Tamia finally got to have the conversation she and Subrina had been waiting years to have. 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6! ______________________________________________ __________________ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera & Stephanie Baker Logo: Dena Massenburg 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
The Pettiest Captains in Star Trek
05/06/2026 | 1h 6 mins.
And Their Petty-Ass Moments. Yvette, Tamia, and Fran are back, and this time they're tackling a need to know question: Who is the pettiest captain in Star Trek? The criteria is set, the evidence is presented, and their case is made for the captains who held grudges, took things personally, and occasionally let their emotions do the piloting. Some captains were more justified than petty. And some still don't seem to understand what "petty" means. By the end of the episode, however, one captain emerges as the clear winner. As Fran would say, "We said what we said, y'all." 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6! ______________________________________________ __________________ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera & Stephanie Baker Logo: Dena Massenburg 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.

They Called It Planet Hell
22/05/2026 | 1h 36 mins.
Paramount Stage 16 housed a permanent cave set so hot, dusty, and smokey that the Star Trek cast and crew famously called it Planet Hell. Sixty years of Star Trek. No communicators. No transporters. Just the characters and who they really are when everything else is stripped away. The SyFy Sistas each bring some of their favorite cave episodes and make their case. Welcome to Planet Hell. 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6! ______________________________________________ __________________ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera & Stephanie Baker Logo: Dena Massenburg 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.

We are four Black women who love sci-fi and fantasy, sharing our thoughts, laughs, and fandom stories unapologetically. From Star Trek to speculative worlds beyond, we bring curiosity, joy, and honesty to every conversation — even when we don't always agree.
Named 2025 Best All-Around Star Trek Podcast by TrekMovie, the SyFy Sistas Podcast dives into TV, movies, books, comics, and conventions through the lens of lifelong fans who know that fandom is richer when more voices are heard. While Star Trek is our home base, our conversations also explore other genre favorites like Foundation, For All Mankind, The Expanse, Supacell, and films like Sinners — because great sci-fi doesn't exist in a vacuum.
Expect interviews with creators and talent, thoughtful debates, and lively discussions about the stories we love (and sometimes argue about). Our conversations are passionate but never gatekeepy, informed but never dry, and always rooted in the belief that Black voices belong at the center of fandom — not on the sidelines.
Whether you're a deep-cut Trekkie, a genre-hopper, or just looking for smart, joyful conversation, there's a seat for you at this table.
Press play. Join the conversation. Welcome to the SyFy Sistas.
