  • Ursaline Bryant: Class is in Session
    Jun 20 2025

    “Know Thyself…Love Thyself”

    This week, the SyFy Sistas beam up a true legend of the Star Trek universe: actress and lifelong Trekker Ursaline Bryant, best known to fans as the trailblazing Captain Tryla Scott from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

    Ms. Bryant doesn’t just join the conversation—she commands it. With the poise and power of a true Starfleet captain, she shares her journey through Hollywood, the importance of true representation, and what it meant to portray one of the youngest captains in Starfleet history.
    The Sistas were all ears and all heart, soaking up wisdom like cadets in their first year at Starfleet Academy. This conversation is about truth-telling, self-reflection, and shining a light on the hidden histories that shaped her journey.
    This episode is a classroom—and a mirror.

  • Conrad Coates: The Admiral and The Professor
    Jun 6 2025

    From Star Trek to Shakespeare and Afrofuturism

    This week, the SyFy Sistas sit down with the incomparable Conrad Coates—the actor behind Admiral Terral on Star Trek: Discovery, and a true force in the worlds of theatre, teaching, and Afrofuturistic storytelling.
    In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore:
    His experience portraying Admiral Terral, and what it means to lead in the Star Trek universe
    His extensive work with Shakespeare, including performances at the Stratford Festival of Canada, where he portrayed roles such as Prince Escalus in Romeo and Juliet and various characters in As You Like It
    His role as an educator and mentor, shaping the next generation of performers
    How Afrofuturism informs his worldview and creative work—blending history, imagination, and liberation

    Conrad Coates is a storyteller, a leader, and a teacher who bridges worlds—from the 23rd century to the Elizabethan stage. This one’s for the thinkers, the dreamers, and the future-builders.

  • Robert Duncan McNeill
    May 23 2025

    Soap Operas, Starships, and the Paris/Locarno Thing

    The Sistas got to sit down with the one and only Robert Duncan McNeill.

    Before he was flying through the Delta Quadrant as Lieutenant Tom Paris, Robbie was stirring up drama on the classic soap All My Children. We talk about his early days on daytime TV, how he found his true calling behind the camera, and his journey from actor to one of the most respected directors in the biz.
    And yes, we had to ask about Tom Paris vs. Nick Locarno—and his answer? Let’s just say it gave us life!
    We also geek out over his podcast The Delta Flyers with Garrett Wang, and how rewatching Voyager has given him a whole new appreciation for the show and the fans.
    Grab your snacks and press play, fam.
