Rate ShowGreat Flow And Content, Keeps Me Entertained And Informed
There are not many podcasts that get my attention for an hour plus, but this ragtag crew of misfits put a smile on my face as I relive the episode of the week. Whether it’s Picard or Discovery, I’m amazing that they keep my wandering mind focused on the task at hand. I clearly miss a lot in each episode but the guys (and gal) are there to make sure that nothing goes unnoticed and I am prepared for the next episode. Not only do I enjoy the podcast, the podcast heightens my enjoyment of the series! Thanks, I think this podcast will be my first patreon relationship:)

Hailing Frequencies Open!
Running a Podcast myself, I have a difficult time finding an hour or two to listen to other shows. But from the minute the Discovery Pod came up on my long range sensors, I’ve made the time to listen to their show.
What I really dig is that each host has a differing level of Star Trek Knowledge. Some have enough to get accepted to the Daystrom Institute with honors, while others have only started watching since Discovery came about. This adds a really fun dynamic.
The DISCO Pod also has an awesome Patreon program that is absolutely worth giving a couple of dollars to. After just one episode, I subscribed. Can’t wait to hear the crew’s thoughts on the rest of the season of Picard, and look forward to their reviews of Discovery Season 3.

Great dynamic and discussion
I've really enjoyed the group assembled for this podcast and the range of trek fanndom and perspective. A positive show that shares their love for Star Trek

Intelligent Reviews, Very Fun!
I really enjoy this podcast! These folks are very fun, the kind of people you would want to hang out with! They thoughtfully discuss the episodes in a critical yet intelligent way that makes listening to their discussions really enjoyable. If you are just finding them, go back and listen to all the older episodes!

great episode discussion
If you love reading comment sections and episode breakdowns you will love this podcast. Usually, I will watch the episode once, listen to this podcast, then I watch the episode again. I take away so much from the podcast that I catch so many more details. Can't help but be a huge fan!

Cue theme song “Thank you for being a Friend” 🎵🎶
The friendly banter between these guys is the some of the greatest joy I get out a podcast. I can easily agree and disagree with their assessments of the episodes as they give plenty of trek- knowledge filled answers as to why it may not live up to their expectations but the love for trek still comes through. Other podcasts I’ve heard pander to the writers but I love how these hosts can discuss and be critical yet still appreciate the show for what it is. Star Trek. I love how real and honest these hosts are. Thanks guys!

It's just that good!
This podcast got me through some really tough pain levels while in the hospital for neck surgery in January, and then another one in February. These guys are hilarious, know their stuff--most days(it's Amanda Grayson, y'all! lol)--and totally entertaining. Disco wouldn't be the same without being viewed through the lens of this amazing podcast!

Fun and informative
I really enjoy this because it has something for true fans and those who might not be as familiar with the Trek Universe. It is respectful with a good dose of humor, and helps that one of the commentators is a die hard Lost fan.

I <3 you guys!!!
I appreciate the POV of Star Trek fans that are open to new things. There is such a thing as being a fan and allowing the object of our affections grow and change as well as being able to be critical at times.

New listener, instant fan.
I’m a new listener but a long time Star Trek fan. I don’t have any Trekie friends that i can nerd-out with over Discovery, but this podcast makes me feel like i do. I often find myself verbally responding to something said, only to have another person on the show respond in exactly the same way.
Also, it seems like a lot of people on podcasts hate on Discovery because it’s not what they think ST should be. It’s good to listen to a podcast where they get nitpicky, but because they love it and want it to succeed.
Keep up the good work.
Side note: on one of the recent shows, i heard someone say “Handsome Mount” and “I’d ‘mount’ him.” (I 100% agree) Are one or more of you gay? Because as a gay man myself, it would be great to have my new favorite podcast hosted by some “family” as well.

It is an absolute joy to listen to this podcast every Friday morning! I always look forward to the thoughtful insights and fun banter. This is a group of people who feel genuine and fun, and the podcast is a fantastic and easy listen for any trek fan.

Hot takes
Love you guys. Lol Stamets's illegal meta-genetic experiment of turning himself into a Navigator from Dune shows Star Trek's love of life and science! Listeners should also check out The Greatest Discovery, another amazing Star Trek: Discovery podcast

Thank you! Finally!
I've been listening to some pretty poor STD pods and gave this one a chance today. It was like being able to breathe after getting stuck under water. Very thoughtful and intelligent discussion on what is looking like a pretty complex character show. I need the analysis for my analytically driven soul. Deeply enjoyed the various observations even though I don't always see it the same way. This is great. I also love the idea of having on a person who's never watched Trek. What a great idea. Kudos. And thanks.

Learning a lot
I've got to admit that I hadn't watched a Star Trek tv series until now so I have a lot to learn. I think this podcast is doing a great job of catering to the long time fans and the newbies. It's fun and informative.

Excited to get my Trek on with this podcast
I loved the first episode of this podcast and can’t wait to hear what they all have to say about the newest Star Trek series. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the franchise or this will be your first foray into the world, I think you’ll get a kick out of Star Trek Discovery Pod.

Awesome Star Trek Podcast!!!
Enjoyed listening to this crew. There's a wonderful range of Trek knowledge. I've watched each Star Trek iteration at some point or another except Enterprise (couldn't get into it or beyond the theme song...)and I look forward to seeing exactly what Discovery has to offer. This podcast crew is very insightful and just fun so definitely add them to your rotation for Discovery coverage.
