Welcome back, ensign. After a little COVID vacation, we've returned with the July edition of the program!
Your hosts Jacob Chisenhall, Chad Radford, and Emma Rubenstein beam in to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man, woman, android, et al has gone before in a conversation that’s all about death. … Well, the right to life and death, when it comes to organic and artificial life, actually. Heavy stuff! 
The conversation hones in on two classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes: “The Measure of a Man” (season 2, episode 9) and “The Offspring” (season 3, episode 16). Both lay the foundation from which much of the Picard series is built. If we learn anything from “The Measure of a Man” it’s that Starfleet cyberneticist Bruce Maddox has been a rotten sociopath since the word go. And if we learn anything from “The Offspring” it’s that Data is indeed pretty fly for a while guy.
