Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 72 ratings
  • Hands down the best Trek podcast out there; AAl and Maggie have grown tremendously as people and are sharp, funny writers who love Trek (well, as an intellectual property; if you love Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery or Lower Decks you might have a rough ride here). I strongly recommend starting at DS9 or later, as they did have some shitty opinions early on that they have recanted and redone episodes over. Wonderful podcast. Can't recommend it enough.

  • Love it!

    5 stars, in case my review and stars don’t link up.

  • The Return of the Best Star Trek Podcast

    I couldn’t believe my own eyes when I saw a new episode pop up on my podcast feed. Post Atomic Horror mix of both hilarious ribbing through the ages of Star Trek that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still delivers genuine insight into the episodes and their topics. I don’t think I could have made it through the end of Voyager and Enterprise without their bits and commentary to add to the experience. I am so excited to hear their thoughts on the rest of Picard and Discovery plus any of the... more
