Faith of the Heart feat. Romeo Kokriatski

There’s your usual hardcore trekkies, and then there’s Romeo! The bar has been set, and both of us try to reach it, but kinda fail! We do, however, meander through most of the series from the Trek universe, touching on various episodes to make connections to politics and culture today — and how stories like these are necessary under empire. Romeo’s joy for Star Trek is contagious (even the critiques come with delight), so jump on in and take a listen!  Support the making of RIF on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/c/resistanceisfertile/membership] RIF BlueSky: @thestartrekpod.bsky.social‬ [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q52ck7a3s7r6fnhsntakhfws] RIF IG [https://www.instagram.com/resistanceisfertilepod/] Elia’s work [https://www.hauntologies.net/] carla’s work [https://www.joyfulcarla.com/] Romeo Kokriatski Podcast: Ukraine Without Hype [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ukraine-without-hype/id1537219548] Music by NinePulse [https://ninepulse.bandcamp.com/] Tech by Chris Bergman RIF is co-produced by carla and Elia Thanks for listening!

The Stories Fascism Fears Most feat. Jessie Gender

“Fascism isn’t just about power—it’s about controlling the stories we tell. It warps narratives to justify oppression, trapping us in cycles of dominance and despair. But stories can also resist, break those cycles, and open the door to something new.“  This is how YouTuber and hardcore Trekkie Jessie Gender starts her video essay “The Stories Fascism Fears Most [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU4x-Ox8_Qo]“ which we highly recommend. A few weeks ago, Elia Ayoub sat down with Jessie to talk about it. They got into their love of Star Trek - because of course they did - as well as other franchises like The Matrix.  This is a special crossover episode between The Fire These Times [https://thefirethesetimes.com/] and Resistance is Fertile, hence why it’s only Elia this time around. This won’t be a regular occurrence though! Elia and carla joy bergman will be recording most of the RIF episodes together, and we’ve already got a couple of episodes lined up for y’all.  SHOW NOTES Support the making of RIF on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/c/resistanceisfertile/membership] RIF BlueSky: @thestartrekpod.bsky.social‬ [https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q52ck7a3s7r6fnhsntakhfws] RIF IG [https://www.instagram.com/resistanceisfertilepod/] Elia’s work [https://www.hauntologies.net/] carla’s work [https://www.joyfulcarla.com/] Jessie Gender’s YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@JessieGender1] Music by NinePulse [https://ninepulse.bandcamp.com/] Tech by Chris Bergman RIF is co-produced by carla and Elia Transcripts (arriving shortly) Thanks for listening!
