Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast Trek.fm

Regardless of your thoughts on Star Trek, this is always a conversation worth listening to.

I have been listenining to Mission Log since episode one and I have listened to the TOS episodes many times over. Until a while ago, my rating would have been five stars.

This podcast is now like attending a university lecture on your favorite topic but taught by a professor that you just don't find engaging. The show no longer has the pace and the spirit that it once had. For example, if you can say something in 70 words that is always better than saying it in 100 words. And this show always opts for 100. Or 150.

At one time, I listened to each episode the day it came out. Now, I am four or five episodes back. I will keep listening, because it's good Star Trek content, but I am no longer really excited about new episodes.

I've loved Star Trek since 1992, and this is my go-to podcast for entertainment and analysis of the franchise. The podcast is part of the Roddenberry umbrella, so it's focused much more on the pre-JJ era with a thoughtful and critical look at what came before 2008. The hosts call it like they see it but it doesn't have that cynical bile alot of Youtube-era critics do of the classics. I thoroughly enjoy throwing on an episode while working or playing a flight simulator. It reminds me of the playground conversations my friends would have during DS9's initial run.
