  • I really want to like it….

    I keep trying to like this podcast. But the f-bombs every other sentence is ridiculous. Please learn more adjectives. Three f-bombs in a sentence is excessive. And also why does Girafe watch the show if everything is “dumb”, “stupid” or lacks “agency”. I’m want to hear positive reviews. I won’t subscribe. I turn it off too many times.

  • Essential ST pod

    This pod has it all: episode discussions, Star Trek news (I don’t even do YouTube that much but watching the recent SNW teaser breakdown got me so excited for the new season), book discussions, and more fun content. Hosts are knowledgeable and entertaining.
