Sarah is an endorsed Humanist Celebrant and Vice President of The Humanist Society, Support Group Leader with Recovering from Religion, and co-founded the Atheist Community of Polk County (now the Humanist Community of Polk County), She has produced and hosted the “SarahTalk Podcast” since 2015 and “Freethought in Florida” from 2020-2021.

She has been in the IT industry for nearly 30 years and has spent her career doing business analysis, supporting SaaS systems, and building cloud solutions to manage data. She actively supports many humanist organizations, has done volunteer work in her local community, and was co-host on the podcast and YouTube show “Freethought in Florida”. Relocated to Aurora, Colorado in recent years with her two cats, Rax and Mr. Digsby, she's also a fluid abstract artist. She is a die-hard Star Trek fan, and sci-fi fan in general.

Starfleet Academy Cadet Challenge

Each week, Cadet Instructor Becca challenges Sarah & Allie with a trivia question about the current episode (we are not doing so hot here).  You can play along, too!  Share out the episode with your answer to the week’s question and use the hashtag #StarfleetChallenge and we’ll pick our favorite for bragging rights.  It doesn’t necessarily have to be the correct answer – NO GOOGLING! – we might pick the funniest or most outrageous answer, because it’s our show and we do what we want.

Great Show! Honestly cant remember the last time I ever listened to a Trek podcast and laughed so much.....When I tell my Trek friends about the podcast I'm going to describe it as the "Lower decks" of Trek podcasts.😁🖖🏼
