In DS9 it felt more military sci fi than the rest of the se... more

  • One of my favs!

    Sure, the guys ramble sometimes, and Paul can’t stop talking about himself, but I love the kernels of wisdom I’ve picked up from this show. I’ve been listening for years, following the hosts’ ups and downs, and I can’t wait for each new show to drop!
