Along with a variety of guests and interviews, Mission Log will attempt to reach Star Trek?s ethical subtext, understand it?s complex metaphors and finally figure out what was the trouble with those tribbles. Explore strange new details. Seek out new perspectives; deeper understandings. Boldly go where so many of us love to go, again and again. Join us for Mission Log!
