Can Odo solve the locked holosuit murder mystery, or is he the culprit? What qualifications does one need to open a school on a space station? And did Dr. Bashir just accidentally create life?

Introducing 9to5 a sci-fi podcast where Sara, Ren, & Zylla will be watching and discussing every episode of both Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5. The goal is not to see which is better, but what we can learn when we put these two stories with similar ingredients in conversation with each other, and with the current culture.  In this introductory episode, you'll learn a little about who we are and what we each bring to this conversation.  Join us again in two weeks for a discussion of DS9 Season 1 Episode 1: The Emissary Music by Samantha Duke (she /her) aka Skalfxk www.youtube.com/@SKALFXK  https://linktr.ee/skalfxk Podcast socials https://bsky.app/profile/9to5scifipod.bsky.social https://www.youtube.com/@9to5scifipod https://www.tumblr.com/9to5scifipod https://www.tumblr.com/9to5scifipod https://patreon.com/9to5scifipod Our vital info: Sara Ezzat (she /her) Creator: The Fat Culture Critic https://www.youtube.com/c/TheCostumeCodex https://bsky.app/profile/saraezzat.bsky.social Ren (they/she/he) Creator: Ren the Barbarian https://www.youtube.com/c/RenTheBarbarian/featured https://www.instagram.com/renthebarbarian/ https://www.tumblr.com/victorian-sexstache https://bsky.app/profile/renthebarbarian.bsky.social Zylla Black (she/they) Creator: Zyllas Athenaeum https://www.youtube.com/@ZyllasAthenaeum https://www.patreon.com/zyllas_athenaeum https://ko-fi.com/zyllablack https://bsky.app/profile/zyllable.bsky.social

This is the first of a series that Sara is making on her main channel. The idea is to make some space away from all the doom to focus on joy. We talk about what joy is to us, its role in resistance and identity, and some of the things that bring us joy. In this episode; the joy of queerness and the joy of trains and travel.
