25. Health in Star Trek Part Two

39m · Published 08 Jun 16:08

Everyone knows the even numbered Star Trek films are the best, so it’s impossible for Part 2 of our Health in Star Trek series to not be out of this world! Robyn and guest (and HGA’s resident outtake creator) Leah go through more of the beloved sci-fi franchise’s examples of health and wellness. This time with a focus on the 24th century’s medical enhancements and some interesting illnesses. They also get distracted a lot - please enjoy the tangents.

24. Health in Star Trek Part One

48m · Published 25 May 10:00

It's time to boldly go... well where lots of podcasts, but not this one, have gone before! Robyn chats with HGA-producer and lifelong Trekkie Leah Cornish, about health and wellness in the Star Trek universe. The duo discuss their initial entries into the Star Trek fandom, the myriad depictions of trauma and mental health, and how sometimes the fitness on the show got a little silly. In fact, there's still so much to cover by the end, that this is only part one of a two part series. And everybody loves a sequel.

23. We're Talking About The COVID Vaccine, Too!

36m · Published 11 May 17:12

Look we know you may be tired of hearing about it, and that's fair, but you really should listen to this very special, Robyn-solo lecture, all about the COVID-19 vaccines.

20. The Most Guy Question to Ever Guy

43m · Published 30 Mar 17:27

America loves a sequel and today's episode of Health Geek Academy doubles down on that. Robyn welcomes back sex educator and friend of the pod Rose Del Vecchio to chat more about all of the yearning and sex information found in Netflix's Bridgerton. The pair answer a listener email, get into the show's artist parties, and dig deep on whose responsibility it is to educate young folks about sex. Answer: not Lady Whistledown.

19. It's the Anticipation

23m · Published 16 Mar 15:43

It doesn't matter how much time has passed, Bridgerton is still a show being discussed and discovered and loved by many. Robyn talks about the interesting ways sex education is explored in the show, and the ramifications of when that same education is lacking. It's a sexy regency fantasy, albeit an at times problematic one, and it seemed perfect for the show.
