Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Love the interviews, and also the episodes where they just throw a great topic around. These women know their Star Trek/TV/film history and their opinions are always worth listening to. Love this podcast!!!
This is Wonderful
I was looking for a female Star Trek podcast. Most tend to be male. I wasn’t expecting this wonderful group of black sci-fi sisters. This is fantastic
Fantastic
I popped over here because I saw the Melissa Navia episode referenced on her Instagram. I'm staying because it was so good and now I want to listen to them all. Great podcast from another OG Star Trek fan!
