The delta fliers can be good. It's the Harry Kim and Tom Paris actors. It defo gets better as it progresses as they are new to podcasting in the beginning.

Tom sounds so stoned and invited for the first couple of episodes. He can barely even remember what star Trek is. But as time progresses they both get really into it.

They first review every voyager episode, they are currently on ds9, and they may have done TNG.

They haven't done TNG but I'll still second Delta Flyers is great. It's great watching Robbie and Garret learn about their own show with lots of writers and cast as guests. The production drama stuff especially gives me a lot more respect and appreciation for Voyager for what it is as a series.

I really wanted to like this 😞 I couldn't make it through a whole episode, which is pretty rare for me.

I think maybe there wasn't enough charm to balance the joking condescension? Idk. I had a hard time believing they actually liked the show.

I used to listen to it. It also falls into the trap of leaning too heavily into catchphrases and in-jokes. It's so tiring after a while.

Not sure it's what you're looking for but I've been listening to a Star Trek inspired improv comedy podcast called "Oh These Those Stars of Space" that's pretty fun
