  • It's alright; I'm a doctor.
    Good content but unlistenable
    The extent to which the start of so many sentences is cut off by the recording method is torture.

    Prestige Trek archeology/anthropology!!!!
    One of the best podcasts out there. How lucky we are to have these discussions with these guests for forever now!!! Larry, you are AMAZING!!!!!
  • Keeper2015
    Love it
    This is exactly what I had hoped they would do when rod would bring in documents to mission log. This is a great podcast archiving those small details that made this thing we love.

    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.

    Document Deep Dive into Trek
    From Trek.fm and the Roddenberry Network, comes a short-form discussion show about documents found in Gene's personal archives. Each week, they read a document and discuss the implications, history, and how it fits in the behind the scenes narrative of the show. The hosts are engaging and fun; extremely knowledgeable and well-researched. For any Trek fan, no matter how big or small, this is a must-list.

    In a word, fascinating.
    Just when you thought there was nothing new to discover in the Trek Universe, there's something new to discover in the Trek Universe. Well done!
