  • Kurt has ruined this pod

    I have really been enjoying listening through the back catalogue but I am sorry to report I can no longer stomach listening to the show. Kurt is overbearing, talks over other hosts and derails most episodes he is on. Pete and Connor had a great flow, and Pete and Karlo have a good vibe but add Kurt to the mix and he destroys and all flow and flattens the other hosts. Unfollowing for now, will return if Kurt ever leaves.

  • Informative and Engaging

    Pete and Connor have such an entertaining dynamic, as the sci-fi devotee and the academic sci-fi novice. They are informative, engaging, and expand my understanding of the genre. This makes it sound super dry, but they also talk about Alita: Battle Angle.
