408 "All In"

Pete and Matt from PhantasticGeek.com take their continuing adventures to sharing news and reviews ahead of Star Trek: Discovery's fourth season on Paramount+. We also cover Star Trek in general, including breaking news about the Star Trek Universe. We are here every week to analyze, theorize, and share your feedback on PhantasticGeek.com, Facebook.com/PhantasticGeek, and Twitter.com/PhantasticGeek. We podcast each episode the week it airs.

This is my go-to Discovery podcast, as it is enthusiastic, thoroughly geeky, and thoughtful. The guys know their Star Trek cannon, and they are good at noting and discussing the nerdy minutiae as well as the progressive political and social messages that are and always have been part of Star Trek.  I also like that they reflect on production realities for the show and how those can impact the way it is put together; they seem to understand Star Trek to be a beloved show and cultural phenomenon, but not a holy religious text worth getting self-righteous and dogmatic about. This podcast is geeky fun for the joyous Star Trek fan.

Delightfully Geeky

I don’t feel like I’ve watched an episode until I listen to the podcast. Perfect mix of fandom, entertainment/creative criticism, and social commentary. Make your life better and follow Phantastic Geek!!!
