Fantastic Podcast

I love this show. One wee gripe I have is that none of the TNG reviews are on here. That being said, if my only problem with a show is that there’s not enough of it, they must be doing something right.

An aTrektive podcast

Clay is delightful, offering open-minded, perceptive and whimsical takes. Pensky is limited as a contributor (big fan of 90s Jean-Luc and robots; somehow has a problem with every woman character) but remarkably amiable as a host for great collaborators. The sometimes acerbic tone is overly critical when applied to the genial TNG and Voyager imo, but perfectly suited to the dud outings of the franchise such as the 2000s Enterprise and the recent Discovery and Picard shows. Overall an enjoyable and appreciated listen when one wants a hit of Trek in podcast form.
