The Duras Sisters Podcast is all about honoring the fantastic characters and storylines in the Star Trek Universes. Two sisters, Ashlyn and Rhianna Herd, join the House of Duras and partake in weekly discussions about every series of Star Trek through a philosophical lens and Series Theme.
Each series will feature a theme and every new episode will travel from the Original Series to Prodigy, diving deeply into each detail of this epic franchise. We have covered these series: Pilot, Family, Love and Affection, Time Travel, Villains, Movies, Feminism, Death Fake Outs, First Officers, and the current Spooky series.
This podcast is the Star Trek fix you didn't know you needed, brought to you by the sisters who are as close as Lursa and B'etor themselves… except we survived Generations.

Episode 3: Art Trek
This episode is rated R for language and colorful metaphors.
What is the value of an original piece of artwork with replication technology in play? What book would you bring on a long-term space mission? Why did Q choose the Robin Hood story? Why doesn’t Picard act with Data on the Holodeck? Where did the crew get the copies of A Midsummers Night's Dream? Did Bev strong-arm Riker to act in Frame of Mind?
Join Ashlyn and Rhianna as we wax poetic about TNG’s Plays and Theater in Part II of our TNG Art Trek episode.
SPOILER ALERT: The Next Generation.
