Strange New Pod | A Star Trek Podcast

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.

I keep trying to like this podcast. But the f-bombs every other sentence is ridiculous. Please learn more adjectives. Three f-bombs in a sentence is excessive. And also why does Girafe watch the show if everything is “dumb”, “stupid” or lacks “agency”. I’m want to hear positive reviews. I won’t subscribe. I turn it off too many times.

The Strange New Pod hosts are absolutely top tier Trek fans! They’re fun, insightful, and fair. A great addition to the Trek podcast community!

This pod has it all: episode discussions, Star Trek news (I don’t even do YouTube that much but watching the recent SNW teaser breakdown got me so excited for the new season), book discussions, and more fun content. Hosts are knowledgeable and entertaining.
