  • Too many potential spoilers hinted at

    This is pertaining to The Tightbeam #7

    •It’s too hard to ignore how obtuse the thinking is from one of the male hosts, in suggesting that a human-being born on mars is not human.

    •Later that same episode , one of the female hosts states that she won’t go into how Mao’s character changes in the books, because that could be spoilery for the show. Hello , knowing that detail in the book is still a spoiler for the show because it sets up an expectation regardless of whether his character changes ... more

  • Not great, bad mics. Constantly promise more content including the books and they failed repeatedly

  • Very interesting, but recording quality is poor

    Everything you could wish for in an ‘The Expanse’ podcast, I just wish they had better mics!

  • Amazing breakdown of each episode

    Amazing podcast. They point out the smallest details that I might have missed. Well worth the listen. My only regret is that I did not realize this podcast existed till the final season of the show.

  • Wish I’d found you sooner!

    I am a brand new listener and am so glad I found your podcast. A great Expanse podcast like this is not easy to find. When I do a rewatch of the series I will listen from the beginning.

  • Great Fan Podcast

    So all the hosts on the show are great and fun to listen to, but Shannon’s passion for the franchise is genuine and infectious. This show really helps me pick up details that I miss and gives background on things that happen in the books. The podcast really maintains my excitement for the show and has been a big reason why I keep watching and try to get my friends into it. Definitely worth your time if you love all things Expanse!

  • It was a better podcast until...

    Erik left, followed by Lou, and the girls can’t replace either of them. Sorry, you lost me on the season 3 offseason.

    As I continued to listen, Erik is still very much missed, but Shannon and Andrea have really stepped up their preparation and delivery, and with the addition of Fred, seem to be a well balanced group. I was worried that the giddiness and silliness in the offseason would continue into season four, but I’m pleased to see how the show is now going, at least until Erik returns.

  • Fun

    I’m new to the Expanse series and books. I enjoy hearing the discussion and what they like about the episodes and a bit about the books. I don’t have anyone to talk with about the show, and books when I get those. Fun discussion about the show, thanks.

    The hosts are phenomenal! They are funny, have their own interesting perspectives and personalities and work well together to provide fans with informative content. They analyze the episodes, the seasons as a whole, and also venture into the books. Spoiler disclaimers/tags are always used and as a non-book reader I truly appreciate this! Thanks for the awesome content guys and gals!

  • A little too Spoilery

    I really love the hosts of the podcast and want to listen so bad, but every episode has had a spoiler from the novels. If the podcast were moreso about the show than the novels, I would love to listen. Content is great and if you have read ALL the novels or don’t mind spoilers this podcast is great; 5 stars without the spoilers for sure.
