“Jesus Christ. This Ken Ray guy is right about everything! Just ask him! Be prepared for a lot of “Well akshullys…” the type of liberal that makes you hate being a liberal. Every TOS ep is “anti-woman” according to him. I guess a woman like him would know! Insufferable!”

“Star Trek The Next Conversation is the best podcast ever in the history of all podcasts, up to and including podcasts that may run much smoother than this one with hosts who know exactly what order their show goes in; they're still better than that...FIVE STARS!!!”Read full review »

As they started reviewing DS9 they never had anything nice to say. I did not listen for a few years until I started...”Read full review »

“It would be great if the hosts discussed what actually happened in the episode they are reviewing, instead of commenting upon their own inserted narrative that doesn’t actually happen in the episode they are meant to be discussing. “The First Duty” (T.N.G.) taught us that the first duty of every...”Read full review »

“There is some insightful analysis of the episodes which provokes some excellent thinking and discussion. What's missing is theological diversity. Gene Roddenberry was a strident atheist, and since the co-hosts are of a similar mind that the any discussion about faith, belief, and religion...”Read full review »

“I just discovered this show - out of the sea of Next Generation shows - and decided on this podcast first. That places me in the unique position of arguing points aloud to people who drew these positions almost ten years ago. I’m constantly reminded to write in to the show - and I very badly...”Read full review »

I recommend watching the episode of the series prior to listening to the podcast as it really seems to help bring the points that John and Norman are discussing better into focus. Thanks...”Read full review »

“I tried listening to their TOS discussions, and I did like the behind the scenes research and the humorous use of the text-to-speech voice between sections. But it did require putting up with the attitude of one of the hosts - the one with the higher, thinner, more nasally voice. He aims this...”Read full review »

Their examination of each episode of ST adds so much depth to the experience of watching through the shows. I can't recommend this podcast enough.”Read full review »
