Beam Me Up: A Star Trek Podcast Brent Allen

This is such a great way to get through the Star Trek Franchise, pre-NuTrek. While I’m not sure of some of the choices of watch vs skip by Brent, he always gives his reasons why and at least he makes a good case. The best part of this podcast is Matt, the new guy. You can tell he’s falling in love with Star Trek and getting beamed up.

This is one of the most engaging and fun podcasts I’ve ever heard. Love it.

This podcast is a main contributor to my interest in Star Trek. I had mental blocks against the show for decades. (I planted my flag on the Star Wars hill. 💁🏻‍♀️) Eventually, I opened my mind a bit and was interested in seeking out shows and podcasts that lead to reflection on the philosophy of morality, and just the different philosophical complexities of life. I ended up listening to one of the early episodes of this podcast, which then prompted me to watch the corresponding TOS episode. I realized Trek is the epitome of what I was looking for and I was a silly goose for pushing back against it for so long. But, would I have gotten there without this podcast? Well, maybe, but it probably would have taken a lot longer. Thanks a ton to Brent and Matt for giving free hours (and hours and hours) of their lives to put out a quality product. The production and sound quality is exceptional! Their chemistry on the show is great. And it’s fun to have the dynamic of Matt who, like me, is previously unfamiliar with Trek versus Brent who has seen all the episodes and shows multiple times. Regardless of where you are in your own Trek journey, this is *the* Trek podcast for you! Highly recommend, 5 out of 5 stars.
