The best and most balanced podcast.

If you’re after a podcast that isn’t unabashedly gushing in its praise or unrelentingly negative for no real reason then this is the show for you.

Balance mixed with perceptive insights into every iteration of the franchise and a unique take on the writing and production of Trek makes this a must listen.

I love this podcast

Wes and Clay’s musings on Star Trek are always interesting.

This is an excellent podcast for anyone who wants to listen to two people taking their time to share their thoughts about the star trek universe.

Pretty much my favourite podcast and has been for some time.
