“Brandon is a terrific host and knowledgeable to boot. If you enjoy music and Trek, or even just music in general and the stories behind how those pieces came to life, this is absolutely a show you need to put in your regular rotation.”

“I've been a lifelong Star Trek fan, but Brandon has brought a whole new dimension (pardon the pun) to my fandom. In the past, I've paid little attention to the music, other than the iconic themes, of course. The tunes in the background were just that, background to the action. But through this...”Read full review »

“In the 50 years Star Trek has been around, it has brought us some very inconic soundtracks. Melodic Treks is dedicated to the music of Star Trek. You don't just get to hear great music, but learn some of the backstory behind the tracks as well.”

“It took me a while to get into Melodic Treks as the format is different from most of the Trek.fm podcasts, the best of which succeed on the strength of the relationships between co-hosts - complete with running jokes, friendly bickering and so on. Here we have just one host - albeit often joined...”Read full review »

“A great podcast about the music and composers of Star Trek. Some great interviews and insight. To an outsider it seems that this could only appeal to Trek fans, but I think anyone interested in orchestral music or soundtracks would enjoy it.”

“What is fun about this show is that the show gets into the history of each individual score, the episode that the music was scored for, and all the other odd assorted tid bits.
Even stuff from bad episodes--I'm looking at you, "The Way To Eden" and "Spock's Brain" sounds very nice when the music...”Read full review »
