Fight Pancreatic Cancer On The Purple Stride Walk

This special episode shines a spotlight on PurpleStride, the nationwide walk to end pancreatic cancer, and the powerful community behind Trek Against Pancreatic Cancer. I’m joined by two extraordinary guests—Armin Shimerman (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Quark) and his wife, actor and pancreatic cancer survivor Kitty Swink—for a heartfelt, inspiring, and deeply personal conversation.

We talk about the upcoming PurpleStride event at the Santa Monica Pier, the lifesaving work of PanCAN (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network), and the stories of courage, loss, and resilience that fuel this movement. From promising new drug trials to the emotional testimony of a woman who recently completed her walk while battling cancer, this episode is a reminder of why awareness and research matter.

And because it wouldn’t be a conversation with Armin without diving into Trek, we also explore the legacy of Deep Space Nine, the mystery behind the end of Starfleet Academy, Sirroc Lofton’s return as Jake Sisko, and how James Darren found his voice again thanks to DS9.
