Of Mites and Men, by Lauren Taylor Bak

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 • Duration 40:59

First Published in Tales of Galactic Pest Control

Performed by Nikolle Doolin

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of consensual sexual activity and the transmission of pubic lice.

After shore leave on notorious pleasure moon Venera 6, the crew of the ISS Calypso are quarantined by the ship’s AI, who’s convinced an outbreak of pubic lice is part of a sinister biowarfare plot.

Lauren Taylor Bak is an emerging author of erotic romantasy and speculative fiction. In another life, she obtained a PhD in English, though these days she mostly uses it to justify dubious literary references in smutty stories. She proudly identifies as a bisexual, autistic Trekkie. Listeners interested in reading an NSFW story set in the ISS Calypso universe should check out volume two of NYGEL journal, which features the continued adventures of Commander Ophelia Koch in a story titled "Pride and Protocol". You may also like her short story "Mise en Abîme" in The Disconnected, a companion anthology to Australian cyberpunk horror novel, The Savage Aether, by Aurealis Awards finalist Henry Neilsen.
