  • It’s not Trekcast

    It’s not Trekcast without David and Darren. They might as well have changed the name. This show used to be so good in its heyday. I always looked forward to it. I guess, all good things come to an end eventually. It’s sad, this used to be THE Star Trek podcast. It was so fun to listen to.

    Part of me hopes that David will get some nostalgia, at some point, for the days of doing this show, for his interest in Star Trek, and make another run at it.

    The good days of Trekcast is gone, they should’ve let it fade away instead of rebooting it with these clowns. Used to listen to The podcast every week with Dave and Darron. I even gave the new guys a chance. Only enjoyment you’ll get out of this podcast is listening to the earlier episodes.
