- Just listen!
I’ve been injecting this extremely well produced dick and fart Star Trek/Men’s Health podcast into my earholes for a decade. It’s so good I’ve gone through it twice! As Adam and Ben say, it’s about the hang. Trek fan or no, give it a chance and tell me with a straight face you didn’t think it was funny and entertaining - I dare you! Thanks B&A, here’s to another 10!

A surprisingly thoughtful exploration of Trek for a show ostensibly about poking fun at the ridiculous parts of the series(s). Now is the ideal time to start if you haven’t listened. They are so committed to the bits that they actually did start over from the beginning to go through TNG once again.
Apple Podcasts5coolloser NUnited Statesa month ago - Embrace the embarrassment
To anyone looking for the best Star Trek podcast in the galaxy, look no further. Ben and Adam pilot their way through the Star Trek catalog with humor, grace, and very tasteful dick and fart jokes while looking for a writer for new Trek to blow them out of an airlock. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen until next year at least. FOD‘s forever!
Apple Podcasts5WAScubaFamilyUnited Statesa month ago - Ad-Free Actually Means Ad-Free!
Loved the show for years and was very happy to throw a scarf Ben and Adam’s way when they became independent. It feels wild to say it because I thought it would be the standard, but these guys are of the few that actually mean it when they say their paid subscriber feed is ad-free. Now back to enjoying my all-knuck-no-filler pod.
Apple Podcasts5ThatBassoonistUnited Statesa month ago - The Greatest Pod
In March of last year, I decided to pair a release order watch through of all Trek everywhere with some Star Trek podcasts I'd been wanting to try for years. Fast forward to a year ago, and only The Greatest Generation remained (after a brief prelude where I watched every episode of TOS, TAS, and the movies that precede TNG). Smash cut to January of this year, and I had finished every episode of "classic" Trek, was eagerly waiting for TGG to finish its coverage of Enterprise, and was excited to ... more
