Episode 310: Treking into the Final Frontier with Dr. Adam Kotsko
On this episode, I’m talking late Star Trek with Dr. Adam Kotsko. Adam is a scholar and professor of political theology, continental philosophy, and the history of Christian thought. He also writes about popular culture, and his new book, Late Star Trek: The Final Frontier in the Franchise Era is available now from The University of Minnesota Press (BUY FROM THE PRESS). Adam defines “late Star Trek” as any of the media from Enterprise to the current crop of shows (like Star Trek: Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks).
We talk about how Adam first discovered Star Trek and how he turned his scholarly attention to the franchise.
You can follow Adam and his work on his website (https://adamkotsko.com) where you can sign up for his Substack. He’s also on Bluesky. His book, Late Star Trek: The Final Frontier in the Franchise Era is available now from The University of Minnesota Press. You can order it from the publisher (HERE) or at any fine bookstore.
