In our last episode, we couldn’t get enough Star Trek in the Draft. So today’s mission is all about romance in Star Trek. The Agents gave their director some homework and she came prepared. es, this franchise is all about seeking out strange new worlds, but also sexy aliens. Really, a spaceship is just a locked room romance and we are all looking for love in confined spaces. Let’s meet on the holodeck and boldly go where no one has gone before. Annette Wierstra with Jean MacDonald and Shelly Brisbin.

127: We're Not Talking About Star Trek
Happy Valentine’s Day Agents! Today is OUR day. It is also our 5th anniversary and we are celebrating with not-a-draft of One True Pairings (OTPs). This is such a wide and encompassing topic and yet some Agents think that it includes all together too much Star Trek. But at the Agency we like a lotta things so in this not-a-draft there is an OTP for everyone. Annette Wierstra with Jean MacDonald, Sarah Murphy, Kathy Campbell, Shelly Brisbin and Moisés Chiullán.

124: Janesplaining
If anyone thinks that Jane Austen is about sedate manners and social niceties, they ought to dive straight into this mission about Northanger Abbey. This novel is Austen’s version of Mean Girls and there is a lot of naughty business happening below the surface of polite society. Join our Agents as they discuss the novel and the 2007 movie adaptation with Felicity Jones and JJ Feild. Kirsten swore once and I am giving her a special exemption to keep it in. Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk.
A podcast that’s looking for love in all the right places. Join the Agents of SMOOCH as we delve into the romance of sweeping epics and classic romcoms. Our mission is to investigate the important questions: Should they or shouldn’t they? Is there such a thing as One True Love? Did that smooch have any chemistry? We might not have all the answers, but we know you had us at “Hello.”
