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).

This show is so funny. Especially the Nth degree special episodes. Some of my favorites!
Great pod. Listen now. Or later… cause that’s how Pods work.
I have been a big fan of Ben and Adam and this very podcast. I’ve supported for years when on the Maximum Fun Network and never regretted it.

A sharp, humorous deep-dive show that revisits Star Trek across franchises, with long-running hosts Ben Harrison and Adam Pranica delivering thoughtful, irreverent commentary, trivia, and inside jokes.
