Subtracting a star - still worth a listen
Firstly, this is a fantastic podcast. It’s just people talking about stuff they love, with the occasional fantastic interview with insiders and stars of our favorite show(s). All the love and props to the regulars and semi-regulars who appear on the show. But the reason I subtracted a star is yes - Mark’s constant desire to drag his politics into the discussions. It’s not even whether or not I agree or disagree with his views, it’s that I listen to Treksperts to escape from the constant bombardment of politics in today’s media. (I actually found the episode that was about politics very entertaining in that it presented both sides and was, for the most part, civilly conducted.) Also, Mark’s attitude about it doesn’t make for pleasant listening either: “Too bad, if you don’t like it don’t listen!” Add in his constant shilling of his books, I’d gladly subtract another star. But I find Daren charming and knowledgeable, and the semi regulars Ashley and Robert Burnett equally so, and so I grit my teeth, roll my eyes, and bear it. So if you’re looking for wonderful discussions on Trek and other geek culture, and don’t mind the occasional Eddie Deezen-like rantings about politics, this is a great show. Listen to it regardless. 🖖🏼

Any good podcast that critiques its subject matter does so fairly and hopefully with...Read full review »

The Inglorious Treksperts not only lend their trekspertise every episode, they do so in such entertaining and inventive ways. If you love Star Trek (and occassionally Star Trek adjacent material), you will adore the Inglorious Treksperts.
