Excellent

I’ve been going through Star Trek accompanied by Mission Log, which is an adequate enough podcast, but I’m catching up to where they are and wanted to keep going. I searched out another comparably good podcast and this is perfect. Similar tone, very few rabbit trails and excellent commentary. And not so much stupid anti theistic leftist junk as Mission Log either. A big plus for me. Glad to have found this.highly recommended.

Why?

Why is this podcast rated “clean” when profanity abounds? Just wondering.

Middling

The main host, Wes, seems to have become pretty negative on Star Trek as a whole. The co-host, Clay, frequently goes off on tangents about other shows to the point of distraction. He also can’t remember most of the episodes that he has watched, and usually doesn’t remember parts of the episode under discussion that week. Both use profanity seemingly just for the sake of it. Some of the analysis is good and well thought out but you have to wave through the other stuff to get to it.
