In this episode of the show, Wes sits down to talk to the hosts of “The Trek Companion” podcast. Brian, Adam, and Steve are the hosts of the long-running podcast which has been covering each episode of Star Trek in a manner similar to The Pensky Podcast. They’ve averaged three episodes every two weeks for the past two years. Because of that, they’ve been able to complete every single Trek series that existed when they started. They recently completed their coverage of Star Trek: Voyager.
This discussion focuses on why Star Trek works so well as the topic of a podcast. The guys debate the merits of mediocre episodes, the differences between the series, what we’ve learned about ourselves and the show via our respective podcasts, and much more!
Plus, the guys discuss their differences of opinion about the Picard and Discovery series and the problems with CBS All Access. Brian, Adam and Steve lay out their plan for their show going forward. Plus, lots of random trivia and rankings!
The Trek Companion is a biweekly podcast with Brian Williams, Stephen Embree, & Adam Ceasar. They discuss Star Trek episodes in order. And it is “the awesome”. Episodes are archived at http://trekcompanion.podbean.com
Some praise of Trek Companion:
“My favorite is ds9 so I might be biased to love this podcast especially. There are so many next-generation shows so it’s awesome. The hosts have great chemistry and I love the trivia questions and organization of the show. It’s almost too professional and it’s very awesome. When I listen to the show I almost feel like I have friends who share my love of trek! I really wish there was more silly banter between the hosts, but lately they’ve been having long discussions at the end and I really like that :-)”
“Simply the best Trek podcast I’ve heard. Your analysis of each episode is always insightful and thought-provoking. I don’t always agree (i.e. ST: Voyager, my favorite Trek) but love hearing your take. You keep casting and I’ll keep listening.”
