  • Matt & Andy, C’mon!!

    The best Star Trek podcast in any quadrant. I’ve been watching TNG and DS9 for the first time and these fine gentleman are the best! Has my inner monologue been forever altered from listening to about 5 years of episodes in 2 months? Yes. Was it worth it? Definitely not, but I still love em.

  • The perfect… Duet

    As a screenwriter who often spends a fair amount of time in the week on my own, the working day can get a tiny touch lonely.

    Enter Matt and Andy and The Next Conversation. Warm, hilarious, just the right side of ramshackle. Listening to this podcast is like sharing a mug of raktajino with two old friends. I hope these guys know quite how much they mean to people because what they’ve given me and my mental health is beyond measure (of a man).

    Let’s see what’s out there!

  • So many Trek shows…

    ..but this one mostly hits the sweet spot for me. I like some irreverence, humor, knowledge and chemistry. These boys do the trick and a perfect “fall asleep at nightly companion. I’m 50, a lifelong Star Wars fan and recently started broadening my horizons to check out Trek and see what I was missing. It turns out quite a bit!

  • Fun podcast by two former TV writers. One has watched Trek. The other is watching frontier first time. Insightful and funny. Only ruined when Matt inserts his politics while not realizing he supports the people that keep them unemployed. Trek fans should listen.
