Women at Warp: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast welcomes the Next Generation of hosts: Kennedy Allen, Sarah Gulde and Aliza Pearl

Women at Warp: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast has announced the addition of three new hosts to their bi-weekly show. The new hosts will join in the regular crew rotation and will grow both the show and the Network with the vision of exploring Intersectional Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

The three new hosts are Kennedy Allen, Sarah Gulde and Aliza Pearl. The podcast released an episode on Monday called “Women at Warp: The Next Generation”, in which the three introduced themselves, spoke about their individual experiences in the Star Trek franchise, and (of course!) discussed their favorite women characters.

Kennedy Allen, a Philadelphia native and seasoned panel host, said of the show, “I’m really proud to be a part of the Next Generation of Women at Warp. This is a show that is known for always pushing the envelope by tackling really important topics that you just don’t hear discussed elsewhere in the world of Trek podcasts.” Actor Aliza Pearl, known for her roles in The Improvised Generation and the new Klingon tabletop RPG show “Blood of the Void”, echoed Allen’s sentiment, saying, “Women at Warp has always been a place to deep dive into topics that interest Trekkies, through the lens of all women, trans men, and non-binary people. [...] I can’t wait to hear what our listeners think of the new conversations we’re bringing forward.”

One parting thought. New host Sarah Gulde, editor-in-chief of the fanzine Star Trek Quarterly, has this to say: “Intersectionality is what Star Trek stands for. The term may have not existed when the show was created, but the concept shaped every crew from 1966 to today. Everyone is welcome in Star Trek’s intersectional vision of the future.”
