SyFy Sistas | Podcast Guru

Details

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.

60 Years, 60 Questions: Star Trek Hot Seat

With Derek Tyler Attico The GenX Blerds came in HOT! 🔥 With Fran away, Derek jumped into the hot seat with Yvette and Tamia for 60 questions celebrating 60 years of Star Trek. The only problem? We quickly forgot this was supposed to be a HOT SEAT and started having conversations instead. We only made it through 30 questions. So yes, there will be a Part 2.

The Scenes That Defined Strange New Worlds

Season One Some scenes deserve a conversation all their own. The SyFy Sistas Scene Draft continues! Each month, we'll revisit Season 1 of a different Star Trek series, one scene at a time. This time, we're diving into Season 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Each Sista brings her 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. 🖖🏽Star Trek Strange New Worlds | Season 4: https://www.paramountplus.com/ 🎧Subscribe and don't miss a single episode of Season 6! __________________________________________________ Associate Producers: Sailor Marj, Karen Dramera, Stephanie Baker & Cleo Townsend 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.
