“Whereas I used to have a Simpsons quote for every situation, I now have an Improvised Star Trek quote for every situation. Have listened to the entire run many times in the last few years, and episodes like Table For One and Pirates of the Cosmos still make me laugh til I cry. Thank you IST!”

“I’m not really into Star Trek, know of it but haven’t watched (but now that’s changed!) coming to this show late (unfortunately) but it’s quickly become one of my favourite podcasts. I’m glad I get to enjoy some of the cast in other shows but the magic this has is unique!
Just finished my 3rd...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to the Sisyphus at least seven times all the way through. I discovered on stitcher. Planning to do my next listen along on this app y’all. Improvised Star Trek is like the greatest show. I cannot find anything better, well... “there is no such thing as better, only different””

“This podcast is worth listening the entire way through, to hear a team of improvisers gradually develop, through the typical episodic nature of a Star Trek show, a set of characters with distinctly quirky and funny characters that explore the Star Trek universe, shining a light on its merits and...”Read full review »

“I discovered this podcast during the 2020 lockdown, a few months after they ended their ~10 year run. It's honestly been such a wonderful thing to be able to escape the horrors of lockdown life, to be able to listen to a happy podcast set in a utopian future about a bunch of emotional misfits...”Read full review »

“Of course I learned about this podcast exactly 2 weeks before they ended their 9-year run. But I love this podcast, have now listened to all of them an just listen to random episodes on repeat. The characters are hilarious, but you can also tell that they actually know a lot about the Star Trek...”Read full review »

I've been listening to podcasts since, I think, 2011. And this is my first review. I owe more than a few podcasts a review. So it's funny that my first review is for the Improvised Star Trek, less than a month before their final episode. And the reason I'm doing this...”Read full review »

“Flying around with this crew has been a blast.

Like a never-ending Nick at Nite temporal loop. Thanks for the years of...”Read full review »

“I’ve watched every episode of Next Gen at least twice, but that’s not why I love The Improvised Star Trek. Okay, that’s part of the reason. But what I truly admire is the cast’s ability to “yes and” each other and really listen to everyone. The riot of unexpected results carries over episodes...”Read full review »

“Incredibly funny show crafted by a tight cast of improv actors. It is a rarity to have such a large group of actors in a podcast, which makes it so much more special that they are able to pass the ball so effectively. Everyone in the show pulls their weight, their isn’t a weak player on the team....”Read full review »
