The Star Trek Universe Podcast is an exceptional show that has turned me into a bigger and better Trekkie. As one of my top two podcasts of all time, it holds a special place in my heart. No matter how long my backlog of podcasts is, this is always the first one I listen to. The hosts, David and Matt, do a wonderful job of looking at Star Trek with the eye of lifelong fans. They bring their passion and knowledge to each episode, creating a podcast that is both entertaining and insightful.
One of the best aspects of The Star Trek Universe Podcast is its ability to renew the love for Star Trek. Whether you're a die-hard fan or someone who knows very little about the franchise (like myself), this show will captivate you. The hosts have a way of making even the most obscure references and episodes accessible and enjoyable for all listeners. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and they have certainly made me appreciate Star Trek in ways I never thought possible. Additionally, the podcast keeps a tight continuity with other Stranded Panda Network podcasts, adding another layer of depth to their discussions.
Another great aspect of this podcast is that the hosts do not pull punches when it comes to things they don't like about Star Trek. They offer honest and constructive criticism while still maintaining their love for the franchise. This balanced approach creates a refreshing listening experience where you can trust that their opinions are genuine.
On the downside, it's worth mentioning that if you're not already a fan of Star Trek or sci-fi in general, this podcast may not be for you. While David and Matt do an excellent job at making the content accessible, there is still a heavy focus on Star Trek lore and references that may go over your head if you're not already familiar with the universe. However, if you're willing to give it a chance and open yourself up to exploring new fandoms, this podcast might just spark your interest.
In conclusion, The Star Trek Universe Podcast is a must-listen for any fan of Star Trek or sci-fi in general. It has the power to renew your love for the franchise or introduce you to a whole new world of exploration. With its passionate hosts, engaging discussions, and tight continuity with other podcasts on the Stranded Panda Network, this show is a gem among the vast universe of podcasts. Whether you're a lifelong Trekkie or someone just starting their journey into the final frontier, give this podcast a listen and let it transport you to new depths of geekdom.

We're hurled deep into the past, maman -- and find ourselves in 1969 being pursued by a fighter pilot named captain John Christopher of the United States Air Force! Naturally, we beam him aboard and tell him all about the future! Because that… can't cause any problems. Why are you looking at me like that, maman?

A disappointing "Star Trek: Legacy" update, maman. But also, we have news of a Picard movie, a Kelvinverse prequel, and a proper Kelvinverse 4th (but FINAL!?) installment? Wild happenings, maman. But wait, also, "Prodigy" is doing well on Netflix! Like. Everywhere. And what hope doth we have of Dr. Phlox making an appearance on "Strange New Worlds"? We'll see, maman. Hosts:David C.

We're transported to a strange, alien world that in no way looks exactly like Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, California to slow motion wrestle an anthropomorphic Lizard at the behest of god-like angel beings who call themselves the Metrons while everyone else calls them Metrones.
