The best podcasts for Trekkies

Who am I?

A movie lover and aspiring filmmaker, I love stories of all genres and mediums. But TV and film most of all! From Star Wars to A Star is Born. From Holy Mountain to Brokeback Mountain. Though I love science-fiction and enjoyed the Star Trek movies from the OG cast, I somehow never watched Star Trek: The Next Generation while growing up. But now that I have, and in fact started a podcast about my journey through the show for the firs time, I have inundated myself with Trek of all eras! Now hosting 3 different podcasts about 3 different Star Trek shows, I'm fully immersed in the Final Frontier.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

My podcast, Green Shirt: A Newbie's Trek through The Next Generation, chronicles my episode by episode journey through TNG. Here's a list of other great Star Trek podcasts I listen to for inspiration.

What is my podcast playlist about?

These are a variety of Star Trek podcasts that cover different shows from different points of view. Whether you're a lifelong Trekkie or only mildly curious, these shows are both accessible and insightful

The podcasts I picked and why

1. It's Got Star Trek

Why this podcast?

The three hosts offer a manic and hilarious look at Star Trek through all the series. As intelligent as it is hilarious, It's Got Star Trek explodes with the love we all have for Star Trek.

"First Flight" is a Star Trek: Enterprise rewatch podcast designed to take you through a look back at Star Trek's fifth live-action series that aired from 2001 to 2005. The podcast is your home for revisiting Captain Archer and his crew on board the legendary NX-01 as co-hosts Abby Sommer and Melanie discuss each episode of Enterprise in airdate order. This show will be released twice per month. Each "First Flight" podcast will include production notes, a brief recap, and discussion and analysis of each episode. Abby and Melanie will also highlight their favorite part of each episode (with their "Porthos Pick"), share some trivia about the episode, and rate each episode on a scale of 1-10 "grapplers" (Vulcan's Verdict). They welcome you to follow along with your own series rewatch, and submit your Porthos' Picks, Grappler Ratings, and/or general thoughts on the episode.

Welcome to Unplaaaaaned Trek. Join our hosts Izaak Brown & Andrew Hogan as we talk all things Trek.


Each week we spin the random number generator and watch a random episode across all of Star Trek.


Regulars segments include:

  • The Riker Medal
  • The Picard Medal
  • The Keiko O’Brien Medal
  • Is it worse than Chrysalis or better than The Voyage Home?
  • Line of the episode
  • The Worf Medal
  • The Grudge Medal
  • The Tuvix Medal
  • Would a saucer separation improve the episode?

The title says it’s unplanned, and that allows us to venture off topic along the way.


Designed to be both fun and funny and for both old and new fans of trek. New episodes are uploaded on Monday afternoon (Australian time).


We’re @UnplannedTrek on Twitter and [email protected]. And remember #AllTrekIsGoodTrek
