Star Trek events: Thursday, July 15th - Wednesday, July 21st, 2021
Women at Warp present the IDIC Podcast Festival, July 17th - 18th, 2021
IDIC Podcast Festival hosted by Women at Warp
There’s not a huge amount of Star Trek events going on this weekend, but it turns out, that’s GREAT for you!
This weekend is the big premiere of the inaugural IDIC Podcast Festival, hosted by our sister podcast, Women At Warp.
Here’s what they say about the weekend: “On July 17-18, 2021, Women at Warp will be hosting the (virtual) IDIC Podcast Festival. This weekend-long virtual event honors the Star Trek principle of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations (IDIC) by celebrating and amplifying the diverse voices of our fandom through a series of live podcasts.”
They’ve got a full schedule of events running from 9am PT on Saturday through 6pm PT on Sunday, and featuring some of your favorite podcasts, including The Sci-Fi Feminist, SyFy Sistas, and I Quit Star Trek. They’re covering a broad range of Trek-related topics, but all taking Trek conversation to the next level.
If you’re a fan of Trek podcasts - and I suspect you are! - mark your calendars and tune in. This event is especially important because the Women At Warp have focused on elevating the voices of underrepresented communities in the Star Trek fandom.
All of the weekend’s shows will be broadcast on Facebook and YouTube, and available afterward to watch on demand. To find out more, including a full listing and how to watch, visit womenatwarp.com/IDIC-fest.
The regular stuff
These are the Twitter watchalongs:
#allstartrek runs Sunday through Friday at 8/7C and follows the Heroes and Icons Channel’s All Star Trek programme.
#TOSSatNight starts at 9pm PT on Saturday night and follows a different episode of The Original Series every week, and

Then there’s Star Trek: Watch Party, hosted daily and coordinated on Facebook. Every evening, they use the Teleparty browser extension to watch Star Trek together. To find out more, head over to Star Trek: Watch Party on Facebook.
And finally, there’s Sid City Social Club, hosted by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine star Alexander Siddig’s official fan website. They meet twice-monthly on the first Tuesday and third Friday of every month, with occasional pop-up meetings with Sid as his schedule allows.
