Cease & Decease & Prosper | with Shannon

Join Trekkie and Trekker as they chat with Shannon Fauver. Shannon is a lifelong Star Trek fan, lawyer, Peace Corps alum, convention regular, and First Officer of a fanship!

Along the way, Shannon weighs in on some of Trek's most memorable courtroom and ethical dilemmas, explains why Galaxy Quest absolutely belongs in the conversation, and tells the unforgettable story of how pitching an idea for a Star Trek legal series earned her a cease-and-desist letter! #NewTrekkerLifeGoals We also reminisce about the unexpected friendships and wonderfully strange moments that happen when Star Trek fans come together and those little signals that let another fan know: "You're one of us." It's an episode about fandom, friendship, justice, laughter, and continuing to believe that a better future is still worth boldly going toward. Live long and prosper. 🖖

Sub-Rosa Crafting with Carrie

What happens when a love of crafting, poetry, gothic romance, and Star Trek all converge? You get Carrie Schwent… associate producer of Cirroc Lofton’s The Seventh Rule podcast, affectionately known as the “Crafty Bear.” Carrie joins Trekkie and Trekker to share how her fandom grew from watching Voyager during its original run to becoming a familiar face within the Star Trek cruise community. She takes us behind the scenes of her weekly episode-inspired limericks, her adventures in stained glass and crafting, and the surprising series of dominoes that led her deeper into the Trek family. Carrie also proudly declares her love for the wonderfully mockable gothic romance of “Sub Rosa,” explains why characters like Q, Lwaxana Troi, Tilly, and Sam resonate with her, and reflects on the power of genuine representation on screen. The conversation also includes treasured cruise memories, healing “Doug hugs,” karaoke courage, creative tributes, and the welcoming community that helped Carrie feel safe enough to boldly step outside her comfort zone. Plus, Carrie faces our rapid-fire questions involving Moopsies, temporal loops, mirror universes, broken replicators, purple nebula cocktails, and the most important debate in the quadrant: Trekkie or Trekker? Join us for a heartfelt and delightfully crafty exploration of the fan behind the fandom.
