I love it. And to get the full podcas is like $3 a month witch I gladly pay. It’s full of behind the scene stories and interviews and stuff like that.

You should try Star Trek The Next Conversation. It’s very long and haphazard in its execution, but it’s entertaining; it’s don’t by people who are fans of Star Trek who also work in TV.

They made it through TNG, and are working on DS9. They’re also going through Voyager, Enterprise, Disco, Strange New Worls, and a bunch of Marvel movies on their patreon.

And , as far as I can tell, there’s no ads.

I know reviews are pretty mixed, but I enjoyed listening on and off as I watched Voyager! But I will say that their episodes were pretty long winded for my tastes. In particular, while I understand why they had a section describing all the guest actors, writer, and director, they spent a bit too much time on it for my taste. Especially the actors, where they covered each actor’s first role and usually had a bit of a IMDB review. I personally only really care for the stories about the production of each episode, and also their general reception/opinion of each episode is fun since they’re deeply a part of the trek world.

For me, a briefer version would have been a home run. As is, it’s worth a listen, but you should feel free to skip around.

It’s pretty fun. Their behind-the-scenes perspectives have been enjoyable.

Made it through a few seasons too, something to keep in mind is that this is a couple of actors telling the story, so there is a lot of talk about the actual production process too. But on the whole I found it interesting.

I listed to a handful, and they don’t remember a surprising amount of stuff.

Also the actor who played Harry Kim, kinda comes off as a diva. Like he was complaining that the boots he had to wear were worn by another actor before him.

Then he stopped caring when he realized that they were worn by Data. I kinda forget exactly what else.

There were some interesting bits of info, but I can’t say if it’s new. It was new to me. But I only got into trek after the 09 movie.

It seems that every tv show has a podcast now, and that kinda turned me off to the entire concept of rewatch podcasts. It’s done for money instead of passion, so I may be a bit biased against it.

I’ve had their Patreon since they started. I definitely think it’s worth it it mostly of nostalgia factor. They do have insights into what they remember from back then, how they taped, interviews with older cast members, etc.

But to be honest I also haven’t watched since the third season, so no idea if it’s gone downhill since then but I still pay their Patreon because Voyager was what I grew up watching after coming home from school everyday.
