Apple Podcasts5trench0989United Statesa year ago - Thank You!
For in-depth, balanced and well-informed cultural reviews. I discovered Phantastic Geek only in the past few months as a latecomer to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and enjoyed the informative comments so much I’ve branched out to numerous other PhG reviews. I look forward to many more interesting episodes!
Best Wishes,
