There’s an episode entitled Kobayashi Maru - what say you? 
Will Gray achieve a corporeal form? If so, how?

** PUENTES SONOROS **
Puentes Sonoros (Sonic Bridges) is the new album of our favorite band -- the Grammy-winning East L.A. band QUETZAL. These musicians stand at the center of transnational and transformative son jarocho practice, bridging rural life of Veracruz, Mexico, and contemporary Chicano sensibilities of urban struggle for freedom and self-determination. The strumming of traditional strings and percussive zapateado blend purposefully with Afro-diasporic R&B and batá, drawing from cultural roots to craft echoes of the future.   Find out more on Instagram @Quetzalmusic, or at https://linktr.ee/Quetzalmusic

Recorded on Sunday, Dec. 12, 2021, Trek Table Episode #36 dives deep into Star Trek Discovery Season 4, Ep 4, "All is Possible".  Hosts Claudia Alick, Maya Chinchilla, Alison De La Cruz, Maia Mills-Low and Marie-Reine Velez assemble to discuss what DeLa considers "one of the best Star Trek Discovery episodes in the entire series!"   Major themes explored in this episode:

* Self:  How Book, Tilly and Adira are coming into themselves
* Service: As Tilly comes to terms with new opportunities, Burnham and Saru dabble in politics, and Culber honors his duality as Medical Officer and Ship's Counselor
* Leadership:  We unpack the complexity of the Federation & Ni'Var negotiations and talk about leadership and building effective teams in a time of pandemic isolation - I mean, during a cadet training mission for the newly reopened Star Fleet Academy!
