Five Star Plus rating. The staff really knows Star Trek inside and out…so knowledgeable! A very entertaining presentation!
I just started listening and these are my people! Great takes on all things Trek, from a cast knowledgeable enough to avoid any cringe Trek 🖖🏽
I don’t remember how I heard about Hailing Frequencies Open, but I’m glad I accepted the hail. This is a hilarious group of Star Trek fans discussing all things final frontier. The number of times they’ve said things about the franchise that I’ve thought myself has been uncanny… and slightly unnerving. (One of them may be a Betazoid, I’m just saying.) If you love a good-natured and irreverent look at Star Trek, this is for you. Make it so.
Like watching Trek with my nerd friends!
