Stargatezing

As someone with fond memories of watching Stargate with my nerdy friends years ago, this podcast is a therapeutic trip down memory lane. The hosts are delightful, effortlessly uncovering every geeky reference stored in my brain. From iconic staples like Star Wars and Star Trek to classics like Monty Python and even deep cuts from Kids in the Hall, they create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that feels like home with every episode. I'd give them 12 stars if I could. My only regret is not stumbling across them sooner, and being so far behind in their posted episodes.

I’ve seen maybe 25 episodes of Stargate in their totality and the podcast still works for me, so there’s really no excuse for you to not be listening too.

As someone who is slightly embarrassed to be a Stargate fan, this show brings me great joy and validation with every episode. In just the last few days I’ve finished season one and I’m thrilled to have found two kindred spirits to parasocially bond with over this prodigious and underrated sci-fi franchise. When watching Stargate alone at home with the curtains drawn, I have wrestled with questions about hagfish, decontamination protocols, seemingly nonexistent organizational structures, and just how many scientific disciplines a theoretical physicist can master. I haven’t found any answers here, but I definitely found the laughs that Mary and Kathy bring to each episode.

I'm new to the Stargate Universe, and I love listening to this show as soon as I finish an episode!
