Customer Reviews
Still My Favorite Sleep Podcast
I decided I should go ahead and upgrade my original review to five stars.
I say this was absolutely every intention of a compliment: This podcast is perfect for helping me sleep. Whether I’ve hurt my back and need to focus on something other than pain, or I’m just full of anxiety about work, this podcast has been a stalwart companion helping me get through the night. I’m serious when I say that I’m on at least my seventh listen through of the entire playlist, and there’s only about two episodes I’ve heard the entirety of.
There is something incredibly soothing about the host’s voice. And he reads his sponsor ads at the same volume in the same voice, unlike other “official” sleep-aid podcasts I’ve tried. I find it very comforting to fall asleep to him asking various cohosts about how they feel about Neelix, and then wake up just long enough to hear everyone complain about Archer or gushing about Janeway. I learn things about bananas, then I’m asleep again. There are no episode clips or jingles, just soft discussions about Star Trek.
My only complaints are that sometimes the sound isn’t balanced super well. If I want to hear both hosts, in one episode one might be significantly louder than the other. And the red-alert bleep for the swearing can be jarring, especially if the guest host is prone to swearing frequently. But hey, this isn’t a podcast specifically designed for helping the listener sleep, so I can’t exactly fault anybody for those issues.
In conclusion, I know it’s probably not the thing most people making a podcast want to hear, that they are great for sleeping to. But from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I love Random Trek. I’m so glad it’s back to naming the occasional episode!
Makes my day
Love the format, the guests, and especially the host. Thank you.
Scott why do you HATE Enterprise
Though every other episodes are pretty good
