Disney Icons Ashley Eckstein and Michael James Scott welcome Katee Sackhoff to the latest episode of their podcast HypeFriend!, with the sci-fi icon talking about authenticity, fandom, motherhood, and the friendships that keep you steady when life gets loud.
Sci-fi icon Katee Sackhoff—Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica, Bo-Katan Kryze in The Mandalorian and across Star Wars, and a fan favorite from Longmire—drops into HypeFriend for a candid convo about authenticity, fandom, motherhood, and the friendships that keep you steady when life gets loud. Katee opens up about the fans who carried her from one job to the next, the difference between a work friend and the person you can call with “I’ve got five minutes,” and what it really means to feel seen—not just for who you were, but for who you’re becoming. Add in real talk about smartphones stealing our in-person magic, raising kids to connect off-screen, and Katee’s secret first love as an actor, and this one is equal parts deep exhale, geek-out, and pep talk.
Join us in our friendship revolution, one HypeFriend (and one sci-fi galaxy) at a time!
