Angel Two is a feminist Star Trek podcast. In each episode, we discuss aspects of Star Trek from a feminist perspective; specific episodes, characters, themes and the implied messages about humanity and equality in the future, as well as over the last 50 years.

Hello! This is a relatively short one; we figured it would be a good idea to see if we remember how to do all this. And look! We do. In this episode we mostly catch up and discuss the stuff we've been watching. Spoilers: I watched Deadloch. A lot. Season 2 is being made! Fingers crossed we'll be back soon - though the week between recording and pub…

nuqneH, friends! We ate'nt dead, despite what PocketCasts tells me when I open our show page. This has been a long time in the works, mostly because editing caused me literal pain for several months. It's a short story, but quite dull. Herniated spinal disc; lots of opiates, yet still much lying on the floor wishing for the pain to end. At least SA…

We're back! No, this time we mean it! Really! Really really! In this episode, we mostly chat about why the last return didn't really happen and what we're envisioning for the future of the show. And, because it's us, also The Littlest Hobo because sure, why not? If you want to get in touch with us... Email: angeltwopodcast@gmail.com Patreon Bluesky…

Due to technical issues recording, there are some unavoidable weird-sounding bits. Hopefully they're not too bad, and the next time we're recording they won't happen again. That's also why there's such a lag between recording and publishing. It's 2022 and we're in the Golden Age of Trek, so here's us chatting about stuff. And, sometimes, also Star …

Surprise, we're out of stasis! Has much happened since the last episode? After a long hiatus, here's AB and Fiona to talk about Trek and definitely never deviate from the topic of Trek, not even once. *cough* The new(ish) microphone picked up E V E R Y T H I N G, so sorry about all the odd background noises. I've edited out as much as possible, but…

This is where the title is from. You're welcome. This is part two of our Hallowe'en bonanza! Wagon train to the stars? Apologies for the creakiest chair in Scotland and the occasionally weird edits; it's cough season and I didn't want to hurt your poor ears. Again. Knight Errant Press - the publishers of Queering The Map: Glasgow, an anthology that…

Boo! As it's the season for surprises and jump scares, we decided to appear from nowhere to talk about seasonally-appropriate Trek episodes. This is part one of two because we ended up choosing lots of episodes (and yet still not covering them all) so watch your feed for the rest of the discussion. Spoilers for: Catspaw (TOS); Genesis, Frame of Min…

Content warning: near the end of the show, when we are discussing our favourite and not-so-favourite things/characters in Discovery, Fiona makes reference to PTSD and sexualised violence. Please keep this in mind if these are difficult topics for you. ----- Is that your threat ganglia showing or are you just surprised to see us in your podcast subs…

Greetings friends! In this episode there is pain, there are pin badges and there is much conjecture about what Star Trek Discovery might be like. We have no more idea than you do, possibly even less because this was recorded before #STLV17 and our plan to slingshot around the Sun was somewhat hampered by our lack of a suitable vehicle. AB (was) vol…

Lookie loo, guess who? Yes, we're back. Winter's pretty much a write-off for us, so consider this a new season of Angel Two? Due to technical problems and possibly the worst bad mental health period I've had since the last one the time I went to hospital, this is fully a month after we recorded. And the editing is minimal. Sorry that I couldn't do …

Thanks for sticking with us, folks! A couple of months ago, Adam Nimoy's documentary For the Love of Spock was released and as Sophie had contributed to the Kickstarter, she graciously waited until we were all together before watching it. Patience of a saint, that woman. We discuss said film and our thoughts on it and then, as we do, meander off to…

SPOILERS for Star Trek Beyond contained herein! Don't say we didn't warn you! MJ, Sophie and Fiona took a trip to see Star Trek Beyond in the cinema and were quite surprised. When AB finally sees it, she may well kick herself, but not hard because it's still not ST:VI. Better than ST:V and Into Drekness, to damn it with faint praise. Does anyone ev…

Over a Google Hangout, AB, Sophie and Fiona talk a bunch of Trek news. Okay, it was news at the time, but true to form I'm glacial in my editing speed and then technology intervened and ate the edited episode then refused to upload it... Anyway. It's here! Because of the Hangout, the audio quality isn't great. Sophie is oddly quiet. And I left my w…

Yes, I'm aware that revenge is a dish best served cold, so will be wary of any ice cream-based treats Sophie offers me. MJ watched more DS9 with us (Sophie and Fiona this time; AB was unable to join us - she said something about a cellular peptide cake, with mint frosting?) Past Tense Pt. 2 (we ended up watching part one the previous week after rec…

In this episode, we introduce MJ as both a new member of the Angel Two crew and to Star Trek - yes, we found someone we know and like who hasn't seen Star Trek and are taking steps to fix that terrible situation. Don't worry, she's completely down with it! Also: MJ's mum - sorry about the swearing. MJ's introduction begins with TNG - The Measure of…

Hello friends! We thought it would be fun to watch The Motion Picture (muted, with subtitles) and record the experience for you. Gosh, were we wrong! That said, if you also mute the movie and listen to us instead, it will almost certainly be more fun for you. Try it with the drinking game: reaction shot - drink; over-long sfx shot - drink some more…

In the future, we have achieved equality (amongst other things) but when it comes to affairs of the heart... (who else has a weird version of Faith Of The Heart in their heads now? Sorrynotsorry) the men of Trek are often shown to behave in a very retro way. We discussed this, at great length, a few weeks ago. As ever, please give us feedback: ange…

Firstly, our most sincere apologies for the delays in getting this episode out; hopefully it will be worth the wait! Also, the audio quality might not quite be up to par - this is probably related to the problems we had with the actual recording. Anyway, it's not like I produce NPR-quality podcasts, what do you want from me??? In this episode, we p…

In this episode, we struggle to stay on the topic we meant to talk about; Season 3 TNG's 'The Offspring' (SPOILERS: Data becomes a daddy for about 42 minutes) and Season 5 DS9's 'The Begotten'. Totally not the same story, why would you say that? Odo not only becomes a quasi-parent, he also resolves his daddy issues. Totes not the same. As we ended …

Another lengthy episode! We have a lot to say about everybody's favourite Trek (TNG onwards, anyway) scoundrel - Q. And a few other things, which brings us to a very important show note: there's swearing in this one. A lot of swearing. If this is something you don't care to listen to, that's okay - skip the bit between 1hr 39mins and 1hr 47mins (an…

Life is happening and getting in the way of important Star Trek feminism discussions. Forgive us? (You can show your forgiveness and understanding by interacting with us digitally. Details in the show!) While Fiona is far more audible this time, I also forgot to close the window, so sorry about the traffic noises. Won't do that again, unless there'…

The obvious place for us to go to is Angel One. Spoiler: it SUCKS. We discuss how badly this episode sucks at great length, and more importantly, why it sucks so badly that Fiona rolled her eyes so hard at it, she fell out her chair. Trufax. The format of the episode might be different to episode one; this is because Fiona - once safely seated agai…

Settle in with your cup of Earl Grey (hot), raktajino, Saurian brandy, or... well, it's green? This is a long one! We are AB Silvera, Sophie Norman and Fiona, and we're Star Trek obsessives fans. (Sorry, Sophie!) We're also feminists. Who loooove to talk about Star Trek. You won't know us from anything, unless you stalk us on twitter, in which case…
