  • Thoughtful and Insightful

    Gates McFadden is a fantastic interviewer! Who knew‽ I am infinitely impressed by the quality and death of the interviews. McFadden pulls great nuggets of personal insight and experience from her guests. I’m surprised by the depth of storytelling and love that while much of it is not about Star Trek it always comes back to Star Trek and the franchises core values. Bravo Gate’s McFadden! More please!

  • Exceptional Interviews

    Gates is a wonderful interviewer who takes the listener on a fantastic journey.

    The only thing that needs to be changed is the horrendous dynamic ad insertion. They are place at the most in-opportune times and blast at full volume.

  • Amazing!

    Love every episode and guest!

    The only issue I have is the ad placements, ads are sometimes in the middle of sentences or even words

  • Love this podcast!

    Let me preface one thing before I talk about the podcast.

    I grew up a child of the 80s and my father was a Trekkie. Gates has been a part of my life for nearly as long as I can remember.

    This podcast is the perfect extension of her place in my life. Each episode I’ve listened to has been so good.
