As a proud member of IATSE local 52, NY (set medic), I was enthralled with this interview. I wish Ron the best with his endeavor “Asylum Studios”. Brent and Jonathan…. What can I say. I grew up with you on TNG and when I listen, you both have a way of making us as an audience feel as though we are sitting right there with you. I believe you would make me feel that way if I were on set with as well. Perhaps someday our paths will cross. Best regards and thank you.

Decent chat rather spoiled by Frakes with his constant stupid childish dinging bell. Enough! The joke’s old and has long outstayed its welcome.
Thanks for attending MotorCity Comic Con! Love the podcast! Awesome stories, cool guests and lots of laughs! You are missing out if you aren’t ringing a bell for this duo! 😉
Love hearing these 2 talk, with each other and their wonderful guests! I’ll be checking out them out on You Tube as well ❤️❤️
I love this podcast. I was a next gen kid, but the chaps are much broader and more eclectic in their interviews than star trek. There’s a joy and fun in the conversations that is just lovely to listen to.
