Recut host Jonese Franklin says she's seen a handful of Star Trek episodes over the years, but isn't much of a fan. "I’ve also seen a few of the movies and I can see how Trekkies are born," she said. "But when I found out reporter Ashlie Stevens was attending a Klingon convention (and that a Klingon convention is actually a thing) I’ll admit that you probably could have heard my eyes roll."
To think that someone could be so devoted to Star Trek — not even the show itself but a species featured on the show — that they would attend a convention about a made up language seemed pretty nerdy.
Then, Ashlie joined us to talk about the convention and the people she met there. And something happened. We realized that we’re all nerdy about something. What seems super weird to one person might be very important to another.
On this episode of Recut, Ashlie talks about her experience at the Klingon convention, and we — along with other WFPL reporters — confess our own nerdy obsessions.
