DBVH #110: USS Carpathia Ep. 5, “When a Man Loves a Female Member of a Plant-like Alien Species”
“I wasn’t thrilled about the proposal to make a radio series about the Carpathia. I thought, ‘Great. Another show exploiting some distorted notion of patriotism to glorify narratives of conquest and cultural domination.’ Then I realized that basically the only people who listen are my grandmother and her friends. So if this latest cynical play on the public’s simplistic worldview has one thing going for it, I guess it would be its complete irrelevance to any significant aspect of popular culture. Keep it up.”
– Ensign Oliver “Ollie” Klozerhoff, helmsman aboard the USS Carpathia
