Amazing!

This is the best Star Trek podcast in the Milky Way galaxy. Don’t waste your time listening to other ones instead. Five stars!

Great podcast for fans of Trek (and their non-fan partners)

Rachel Watches Star Trek is one of my favourite podcasts - Rachel and Chris are funny, insightful and always a great listen. You’ll find interesting perspectives from a life-long fan contrasted with someone who’s never seen the show, and you’ll find yourself laughing along sympathising with either Chris as he attempts to explain things Trek fans take for granted or with Rachel as she tries to get her head around warp speed, how transporters work and why no-one ever seems to take basic health and safety precautions. A fantastic show to follow along episode by episode if you’re planning a Trek rewatch (or forst watch), and if you enjoy it there’s tons of bonus content and a great community on the RWST Patreon, plus a gr at listener community. Jump onboard the little stage and beam on up to join Rachel and Chris!

Fun, engaging, and insightful

Trek fans are incredibly well served by the variety of podcasts that are available. So it's no mean feat that Rachel Watches Star Trek stands out. Whether you're a fan of TOS or not, Rachel and Chris approach the series in such a funny and interesting way that it quickly became a Must Listen for me. They take the franchise serious enough so as not to be flippant, while also having fun with the sillier aspects. Also love Rachel's occasionally dropping insights from her work as a therapist which are always meaningful, and invariably leave me looking at something in a different way. One of my favourite podcasts, not just in the world of Trek, but full stop. Thanks, Rachel and Chris!
