Beam Me Up: A Star Trek Podcast

15

Join Matt as he explores for the first time why is Star Trek the cultural phenomenon that it is today.  But since there are over 740+ hours of Star Trek Episodes and 13 movies, Brent's challenge will be to find the best 150 or so that best represent what Star Trek is, the story of Star Trek, and paint Gene Roddenberry's vision of the Future.

    A podcast I love coming back to every time
    It’s so amazing to hear Matt’s reactions on his first watch. I also love Brent’s notes and guidance. I’ve finally been able to tackle ToS with this show, and I’ve been enjoying the rewatch of TNG, DS9 and Voyager. I’m glad that I’ve not yet watched enterprise and I’m so looking forward to my first time watch along with this show. This is a fantastic podcast and a must listen for any Trekkie-in-the-making or 47-time-watch-thru veteran.

    Great Show, Ready for More
    This is such a great way to get through the Star Trek Franchise, pre-NuTrek. While I’m not sure of some of the choices of watch vs skip by Brent, he always gives his reasons why and at least he makes a good case. The best part of this podcast is Matt, the new guy. You can tell he’s falling in love with Star Trek and getting beamed up.

    High quality, fun, and dynamic podcast for all
    This podcast is a main contributor to my interest in Star Trek. I had mental blocks against the show for decades. (I planted my flag on the Star Wars hill. 💁🏻‍♀️) Eventually, I opened my mind a bit and was interested in seeking out shows and podcasts that lead to reflection on the philosophy of morality, and just the different philosophical complexities of life. I ended up listening to one of the early episodes of this podcast, which then prompted me to watch the corresponding TOS episode. I realized Trek is the epitome of what I was looking for and I was a silly goose for pushing back against it for so long. But, would I have gotten there without this podcast? Well, maybe, but it probably would have taken a lot longer. Thanks a ton to Brent and Matt for giving free hours (and hours and hours) of their lives to put out a quality product. The production and sound quality is exceptional! Their chemistry on the show is great. And it’s fun to have the dynamic of Matt who, like me, is previously unfamiliar with Trek versus Brent who has seen all the episodes and shows multiple times. Regardless of where you are in your own Trek journey, this is *the* Trek podcast for you! Highly recommend, 5 out of 5 stars.

    Great Quality, Great Content
    I haven't seen most of the episodes they cover, but they make me want to go and watch them so I can feel a part of the conversation. The audio quality of this show is great, and the hosts are entertaining. They go so in-depth as to why each episode is so meaningful to the franchise and make a great case as to why this is such a cultural phenomenon. It's fun to hear the opinions and observations of a first-time watcher, too! Overall, a great podcast for Trekkies as well as new fans who want to watch each episode and follow along.

    Good Podcast and Better Hosts
    This is a really good podcast, with a great concept behind it, especially for those of us who have trouble with the bad episodes. But what really makes this podcast stand out is the hosts. They have a great chemistry and bounce off of each other naturally, which makes this podcast not only informative, but fun to listen to.

    Great show!
    I started listening to this show because of the Tales from Godric’s Hollow podcast. I love the idea of this show because I’ve wanted to watch the Star Trek series for a while, but the hundreds of episodes is incredibly intimidating. I decided to join in with watching the episodes alongside you guys. I’m not hooked on the Star Trek yet, but I really enjoy your podcast and watching the episodes alongside y’all.

    Excellent
    I normally dislike the original series, but these episodes have me finally understanding why people love it. I love the discovery of a new fan, and the discussion of a loving fan. I look forward to every episode, and I can't wait until they get into the other series. Well produced and easily consumable, I never find myself bored. Keep up the great work!
