I really appreciate the discussion and analysis, but when the gentlemen talk about female characters, it is like hearing a really bad note in an otherwise fantastic song-I cringe. For example, when talking about the new show, the hosts discussed potential female actors primarily in terms of how "hot" they are, whereas with male actors they talk about their acting skills. This is one example among many. It may seem small, but it is just the kind of thing when taken together that reinforces the feeling that Star Trek fandom (and science fiction generally) is exclusively the domain of men. It is especially disappointing when fans of Star Trek defy the beauty of exclusivity to which the series aspired. While I am sure it is unconscious, it is enough to make me reluctantly unsubscribe. I have never written a iTunes podcast review before. I also rarely point this kind of thing out because I know the kind of vitriol it elicits (there a few excitable folks out there that would like to keep the science fiction genre (white) boys only). However, I am just so disappointed that this show didn't turn out to be what I thought it could be, and that I will now miss out on what is otherwise a interesting discussion. I hope the podcast lives long and prospers and evolves closer to the vision for Star Trek. For now, this is me, as they say, voting with my feet, or more appropriately, ears.Read full review »

I haven't found too many Star Trek podcasts that grab me & don't let me go after listening to one episode. Not only did TrekCast do this, but it made me begging for more. The two hosts know about 90% of their Trek. (Let's face it, the Universe of Trek is so large that the odds of...Read full review »
