Summary

People love sports for the thrill of the challenge, to push their bodies to boldly go where they’ve never gone before. But in Star Trek, how would people compete in a universe where physical augmentation makes almost anything possible? 

What happens to bodybuilding a thousand years from now?

Today’s episode is a dual drop from Feast of Fun and Let’s Grow Big Together, think of it as a transporter mishap where two podcasts are fused as one, but not as awkward as Tuvix.

In this series, we take a look at the passion for muscle, adventures in bodybuilding, muscle gods, muscle worship and practical advice to put on the gains.

The new series Starfleet Academy centers the Star Trek universe around the school for new recruits with a fresh focus on youth culture and hot bodies.

Today Starfleet Academy’s production designer Matthew Davies joins us to look at his work imagining schools, starships, gyms and nightclubs of the future.

Davies is also an accomplished bodybuilder, so we’re having a little fun imagining what bodybuilding might look like in that world. How will technology shape bodybuilding? What will giant, glorious bodies mean centuries from now? 

Plus--
• Lesbians in Space! Creating same sex, interspecies relationships.

• Why Matthew has no regrets turning down Heated Rivalry.
