So much fun
I love the chemistry and friendship these two have. I’m loving the episodes! The only reason for four stars instead of five is that whoever is adding the ads into the final product doesn’t seem to be checking where they go. Having an ad start up in the middle of a sentence is jarring and annoying!

It’s like hanging out with your cool uncles telling you stories. These two very funny, warm, and talented legends and their fascinating guests bring relief to a troubled heart in stressful times.

Just what we all need!
I just love this podcast! I do enjoy getting a beefing the scenes look at some of my favorite actors. The laid back attitude makes it feel like I’m looking behind the curtain to a bunch of friends getting together and talking shop. I do request that the bell gets used properly! (I’m a stickler for that. You miss a few people every once in a while) Just keep up the fantastic work. Remember that some of us aren’t watching rather listening do describe faces sometimes could help us walkers!

It’s about time.
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this show for forty years. I’ve been a Star Trek fan since the eighties and obviously my heart belongs to TNG, but since the end of that era I wanted more. This show will give me what I need in my life to still connect me with other people that love Star Trek. Live long and prosper 🖖🏽

Great fun show
I love this show has a theme song, it's so professional but it isn't stuffy and overproduced. They really strike a balance. Data and Number 1 are smart cool guys too. It's cool to hear them talk about working in theater.

Bell Accountability
This show is a dream come true! I wish my own podcast (because we all have one now, right Brent?😉) was 1/10 as funny! But most importantly I find it hilarious when the guests have to hold Frakes and Spiner accountable to ringing the bell when they forget! *chefs kiss, keep it coming!

I need more episodes to come at warp speed
This podcast is refreshing, you can tell that their chemistry has been refined by the last 30 years of friendship. I’m locked in

Try it!
Ding! Full of great stories and Riker’s voice is great. He should do audio books. I like the bell. It’s a fun idea for friends to do any time there’s a name drop.

the stories!
It’s more than Star Trek—it’s about show biz, baby! The behind-the-scenes stories from actors and writers are wonderful. It’s a glimpse into what really goes into making a show. Look forward to the next episode!

Best best banter
There’s something so warm about listening to people who have such a long history together but also genuinely love one another! Whoever they interview, Jonathan and Brent bring that energy. Love it when they pick on each other and love the wealth of stories they have to share.
put a little love in your heart
Easy, fun listen
My adoration of TNG brought me here but the hosts will be why I stay. Their banter with each other and rapport with the guests has made for a great podcast. Keep them coming! I’ll be the first to vote for Levar Burton coming on monthly!

Hilarious, Inspirational & Comforting
These men have been my heroes and icons since I was 7-years-old. I quite literally grew up on Star Trek: TNG and the wonderful humans in the cast have all felt like mothers and fathers to me. To have a seat at the table, in a sense, with this podcast, to hear these incredible guys intimately sharing their countless, fascinating stories is such a treat. This podcast, even in its infancy, shows signs of greatness. Can’t wait to hear more.

Very Entertaining
First things first. I became obsessed with TNG as a little girl and when I grew up I was lucky enough to see Brent at a local Con. I was beyond excited to meet him and I’ll never forget just how incredibly rude and awful he was to me despite that I had just paid a ton of money for his new CD and it’s still to this day one of my favorite memories to share and reenact because you have to find humor and entertainment in the realness of people and look, I just love how he is who he is and he doesn’t apologize so needless to say my favorite part of this podcast was when he said, “I can plug into an awful character. It’s easy, just be myself.” There’s just something entertaining about authentic people. Keep these going guys, I’m loving it. These stories and memories are so fun to get to be a part of.

Appreciation
Every generation grows up with men and women they admire. I was 18 years old in 1988 when I started watching NG and the chemistry grew over the years. Often times , we are disappointed when the actors aren’t on par with the character. These actors do not disappoint, they still teach us. I can honestly say I love these guys. “Action please” , just shows you who they are. Thank you for this show. Tyler smith.

“Print the legend.”
In convention q&a’s, these two hold court; there’s a story that they once shut down Steel City Con in Pittsburgh, announced that they were going to hang out at Olive Garden, and then hosted an impromptu after party. They are the best example of co-workers becoming friends, and it’s joy to hear them share stories, facts, and legends. The idea that they themselves don’t always remember which stories are true is indicative a lifetime well-spent. This show is the equivalent of the two best professors you’ll have in drama school reflecting on fantastic careers. Thank you, gents!

Amazing!
This podcast is so much fun! So many amazing personalities, so many personal stories connnected with Spiner and Frakes. There’s Star Trek content but also plenty of other material. I sincerely hope that they’ll have an episode with Wil Wheaton.

Lose the bell
I’ve really enjoyed the first two episodes. It’s really casual conversation with interesting people. But please. Lose the bell.

Bad audio, good content
I love the content but the show is virtually unlistenable in a moderately noisy environment like a car. They need to hire a proper audio engineer to mix these. Dynamics are out of control. When they speak softly, which is frequently,you can’t hear a word. The Waves Playlist rider plug-in is $80. Even slapping that on or uploading to Adobes podcast tool would make this infinitely better. All that said, love the show and keep em coming!

Dream come true!
Wonderful to see/hear the genuine affection they have for each other. And so funny too!

A good start
First episode a little dry but off to a good start. Excited to see how it develops over time. My ONE request: Steer clear from incorporating commentary on politics.
ThaneKrios
Refreshing and Funny
The first episode is a winner and foretells the launch of a great new way to spend your content-consuming time. Brent and Jonathan have an easy rapport built over decades of friendship. Looking forward to seeing this show boldly go!

About Time!

Perfect hosts
Just to be transparent, I would listen to these two hosts read the phone book. But I am glad that their podcast is much more entertaining than that. It’s only one show in, but I can’t wait for the next episode. LeVar Burton was a fantastic first guest, and the nice part about this is that even if there is no gas, this show is going to be fantastic.. The guests are a great bonus, which only makes it better. I don’t write many reviews of podcasts, but after listening to the first show here, my only complaint is that episodes aren’t coming fast enough.
