I really enjoy the way the three hosts let themselves meander and enjoy their time together. It feels good to just hang out. Thanks! 🙏

I’ve loved Star Trek since I was a kid and I currently cycle through
TNG, Voyager, and DS9 as my comfort shows, DISCOVERYing (get it?!) this pod has been amazing. Love the banter and all the takes, I’ve now found my comfort pod for my commutes and road trips!

Just wanted to say I liked the show and love the time you all chat before you jump into the episode.
You can tell you are friends and when I listen I feel like I’m hanging out with you all and that authenticity is what I’m looking for. You got a fan for as long as you continue with this show thank you...
up the creek without a clue · May 2025
This would be a 5 star podcast if they had some focus or an editor. Almost every podcast has 25 minutes of chatter at the start, usually at least 5 minutes about a VPN, before the podcast starts. Listened to one from October in 2024 where they didn’t start talking about the episode until 40 minutes in.
When they finally get to the episode it’s hilarious content. The age of the episodes and Star Trek “weirdness” that most fans just accept gets a priceless roasting.
Genuinely a great podcast that does something unique in the sci fi space, as long as you’re okay skipping a lot of stuff.
Movie Sean · Feb 2025
The idea of seeing the show through someone’s eyes for the first time is a good one and interesting points are brought up in each episode. The thing that is most off putting to me, however, is the frequency of swearing. I don’t mind swearing every now and then to add emphasis or make a joke, but when it is every other sentence it comes off as lazy and tiresome.
Zamcat · Jun 2025
If you’re a recovering addict, you will probably not be entertained by the inordinate amount of time these boys spend talking about various weed strains. If they could stay on topic, it would be an entertaining show though.
