Customer Reviews
Good podcast, but not for innocent ears
I’m a regular listener and I look forward to each new episode of Strange New Pod. Everyone usually has an interesting take on the ST episode of the week.
I don’t consider myself a prude (though y’all can call me one if you like), and I know everyone on the pod is an adult and can say what they want, but there is WAY too much profanity in your casual conversation. You throw out f-bombs to the point of absurdity, like your brains can’t possibly think of any other adjectives to use. It’s too much — your opinions are colored with “f-ing” this and “f-ing” that … it really dumbs down the discourse and distracts from the intelligent ideas you have about Star Trek.
Giraffe is the most consistently profane, and on top of that, she’s too negatively opinionated about SNW and DISCO. She doesn’t need to be so contrary all the time. Why does she watch if she dislikes it so much? She’s the least entertaining of the podcast commentators.
Rant over.
Great show
My go to listen each week. I love the diverse opinions and the way it makes me consider aspects of my favorite shows from people with different backgrounds than myself. The different voices have challenged me, which is amazing, and we all agree in our love for Star Trek. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Also- ALL the commentators are amazing! Don’t let the stupid reviewers discourage you from bringing your commentary to us.
Good natured Star Trek banter
I love hearing the SNP crew’s banter. It’s wonderful how they all love trek but still have respect for each other’s different opinions on specific episodes.
