The Greatest Generation

One of these guys is funny, and the other is my husband. Both are very attracted to William Riker.

This is this first pod cast I’ve ever listened to, and I’m glad it was! I have been a Star Trek fan since I was a kid and it is wonderful to hear other nerds both love and laugh at something I hold so dear. Keep up the good pod!

I started listening to this pod from episode 1 in early January, and have listened to almost 400 episodes as of November. I’m hoping to be caught up to real time releases in a few more months. There are a few things I appreciate about this pod: 1. The running jokes piled on top of each other reward consistent listening and make you feel included. The more you listen, the more enjoyable listening becomes. 2. Ben and Adam manage to make so much fun of Trek in a way that almost never feels mean. They almost never have anything derogatory to say about anyone’s work: they find ways to give genuine compliments to the actors and directors involved even when absolutely roasting an episode. 3. Their technical knowledge of filmmaking has taught me a lot about BTS stuff I’ve never thought about. I love when they explain how difficult a simple scene probably was to film because it had some weird prop or continuity thing to keep track of that would’ve never occurred to me. 4. Their self-deprecation is disarming.

It’s taken me listening to over 200 episodes and being called on P1’s twice before leaving this review… this is on me, not Adam and Ben. But now I can say it - Greatest Gen has completely monopolized my podcast list, and will continue to do so for weeks … months … years(?!?) to come. NEVER STOP!
