  • Fun podcast!

    I’ve only listened to the first few episodes so far, but this is such a fun podcast! I love hearing the hosts’ takes on the sillier aspects of Star Trek — it feels very similar to the spirit of Lower Decks!

    The only problem is that John sounds a bit like he’s in a Jeffries tube or trying to channel the Guardian of Forever 😅 Perhaps I have sensitive hearing, but his echoey audio is very difficult for me to listen to, so much so that there have been several occasions where I’ve started to listen... more

  • A worthwhile listen

    John and Olivia bring a unique perspective that is part youthful fresh air, part curmudgeonly grumpiness, and entirely done with affection for Star Trek.

  • Better division of speech, please

    Good concept, funny people. However, needs 20% more Olivia and 20% less John. Also 100% less people cutting off Olivia saying something interesting to shout out something dull that could very well have waited or been zipped entirely.

  • Trip Nips aren’t a rating option on iTunes, unfortunately

    An amazing and in depth tour of the most cursed content of the show we love so much. Irreverent and hilarious while also making you think about Big Questions and how Trek addresses them.
