Spay & Neuter Your Tribbles | with Lori

Spay and Neuter Your Tribbles with Lori What do rescued cats, rapidly reproducing Tribbles, and a lifelong love of Spock have in common? Our guest Lori Joan Morgan, of course! In this episode of ENGAGE with Trekkie & Trekker, we welcome Lori aboard for a fun, nostalgic, and surprisingly thoughtful journey through the original Star Trek series. From racing to the television at the sound of the opening theme (and missing the first few minutes of every episode!) to discovering the deeper lessons behind classics like The Devil in the Dark, The Trouble with Tribbles, and The City on the Edge of Forever, Lori reminds us why these stories continue to resonate across generations. Along the way, we explore her passion for caring for community cats, her appreciation for Spock's logic, her dream of a Starfleet-style documentary exploring alien worlds and wildlife, and why the flip phone really was humanity's first communicator. There are plenty of laughs, some unexpected philosophical detours, a little feline interference, and even a treasured Star Trek technical manual! But beneath the humor is something that makes Star Trek truly special: the belief that understanding, compassion, and allowing others to be themselves can make the universe a better place. So grab your communicator, keep an eye on those Tribbles, and join us as we continue exploring the strange fans behind Star Trek! Live long and prosper! 🖖 #StarTrek #EngageWithTrekkieAndTrekker #Trekkie #Trekker #StarTrekPodcast #TheOriginalSeries #Tribble #StarTrekFandom #LLAP
