“Updated 5/11/20: After having been off air for the past 2 months, this podcast show returned on 5/1 with new episodes, new hosts, a new format, and ZERO points of handoff or explanation. I truly don’t know where the former hosts went or what happened? Was it Covid related? Who are these new hosts and why are they qualified to speak geek? The revised format wasn’t explained and appears to be heavy on interviews rather than just open discussion of current news topics. I know the fandom scene is impacted with a Covid changes, but this new show is feeling flat and makes me rethink my original review that was so harsh below. You don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone...
ORIG POST 9/29/19: This show has the potential to be exceptional with the media power of NBC/Universal branded to it. However, the hosts far too often dwell on the negative components of fandom and inject their own personal politics into the discussions. Sometimes sci-fi is just fun escapist entertainment. Too often themes of social justice are forced into the podcast. When they stay on topic this is a great show. Plus one of the 3 main hosts always seems to be absent so they rarely ever have a 3 person panel as advertised.”
