Greatest Trek: New Star Trek Reviewed

Uxbridge-Shimoda LLC, Adam Pranica, Benjamin Ahr Harrisonwww.greatesttrek.com
The unofficial, irreverent and filthy aftershow for all the new Star Trek television: From Discovery to Starfleet Academy and everything in between. Each Friday after a new episode of Star Trek, Adam and Ben recap, review and roast all the New Trek. And when we have nothing new to review, we go back to old series like TOS and check out beloved sci-fi movies and television. Check out our other show, The Greatest Generation, a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
