Customer Reviews
Treat yourself to the Trek Files
The Trek Files is a delight to listen to each week. Thank you Mr. Nemecek and Roddenberry Entertainment for producing such a treat for Star Trek fans.
Wonderful Show, But…
The host has the annoying tendency to want to insert himself into stories of his guests. We know you have a lot of behind-the-scenes Trek knowledge, but sometimes it’s best for you as host to just shut the heck up and listen to your guests tell THEIR stories. If you want to tell your stories then create a secondary podcast for that. A good interviewer lets his guests talk and coaxes stories out of them with the appropriate questions. And then gets out of the way. Let’s hear more of that and less “Dr. Trek” adding his parallel story or memory — unless he’s with John Champion. Love that guy! They work well together.
