This podcast was perfect! Exactly what I wanted. The recaps were fantastic, you got all the little Easter eggs and music cues I would’ve missed, listening to this helped me love the show even more than the first time I watched it. I couldn’t watch the episodes as they came out because the world was ending and I am in the medical field. I wish I had this podcast then, listening to people happy about star trek can improve any day. ❤️

I really wanted to like this pod. I tried for an episode but had to move on. I couldn’t handle the inflection in Kieth’s voice. He seemed VERY knowledgeable and a HUGE fan of all the series so I applaud you for picking a cohost with a wealth of knowledge. I just have one of those ears that can’t handle certain tones. If a listener can get past that, and I suspect an overwhelming majority will, I'm sure this is an excellent podcast.

I was excited to start this journey with the hosts as I enjoyed the Picard series’ combination of nostalgic warmth with a mission to boldly go where TNG has yet to explore, uneven as the series was. But by the second episode I had to abandon ship. Listening to Dan’s earnestness and Haddie’s curiousness wasn’t enough to balance out Keith’s exasperated tone. If you’re going to invite listeners along for a ride, doing so with the sound of an audible eye roll isn’t enticing. Next stop, mine.

I wasn't planning on watching the show until all episodes were available so I could binge watch it. Once I heard that this podcast was happening, I immediately subscribed, and fired up the CBS All Access so that I could follow along each week for the recaps, insights and fun banter about the show from hosts I know really appreciate Trek much like me. Thank you for the great ride this season, and hopefully more to come going forward! PS: Make sure to read ALL 3 issues of the 'Picard - Countdown' comic miniseries. It gives great insight into the show as you start it up.

Candid, smart, no snark commentary from a crew of true fans.

Dan, Haddie, and Keith have an entertaining and informative take on Picard here! Love the recaps and crazy theories. It has been so long since TNG that I don’t remember all of the Easter Eggs pointed out on the show! This and Greatest Discovery are my North Star navigating my way through this great new Trek!

I will be very sad when Picard S1 is over, not because I love the TV show, but because THIS podcast will be over (at least until S2)! Keith brings the insight and curse words, Haddie brings the jokes and ideas, and Dan the great questions. It’s a wonderful companion to the show that I love.

The hosts clearly love Star Trek and love this show. You won’t here a lot of snark, nitpicking, or complaining. Instead you’ll here three different views on each show all centered around an appreciation of Star Trek, Picard, Sir Patrick Stewart, and great storytelling. Haddie brings a non-expert view while Keith brings an encyclopedic knowledge of Trek. Dan’s in the middle, funny as always and also credited with the shows great production values.

Really enjoy this Podcast! I listen to several Star Trek:Picard podcasts and find that many of them can be excessively nitpicky, snarky or sour at times about the show or aspects of the show. This podcast discusses the show in a light way, with depth and detail - and with the kind of joy and excitement that I feel for the series myself. The hosts are pleasant, positive, friendly, and entertaining. They’re genuinely excited to talk about Star Trek:Picard and have entertaining theories. Because they keep it clean, I can listen in the car with the kids. The audio is bright and well produced. Well executed all around, and highly recommended!

...and spread throughout the stars. Insightful, serious but funny podcast that discusses the intricate beauty of Star Trek Picard. Each host adds their own assessment and well developed theories. I love the Easter eggs they illuminate including tiny but wonderful details that add another dimension to love about the show.

I’ve tried a lot of Star Trek podcasts and this is by far my favorite. The hosts have such a great energy and love for the show that I seriously break out in a grin when I see that their new podcast is in. I’m a life long Star Trek geek and I think the hosts bring a great mix of knowledge and fresh insights to the fun journey of unraveling the mysteries in Picard. Love the series. Love this podcast. Give it a listen.. you won’t be disappointed!!

If the podcasts HBO produced to accompany Chernobyl or McMillion$ enhanced your experience of those shows, then this podcast from 5by5 is for you. Keith offers summaries and back stories without the "Um, so, actually..." sass you might dread from so well informed a Star Trek fan. Haddie asks all my questions. And Dan brings the humor and professionalism you may know from his other online offerings. Loving it. *This* Shawn gives allll the stars.

Great podcast, very helpful!

I listen with my earl grey, hot, and nod my head along with the commentary of the three hosts.

This is not just a Picard podcast it is “THE Picard” podcast. Okay all joking aside I enjoy this podcast. I already have a connection to a few of the hosts by listening to other 5 by 5 podcasts, and enjoy hearing their takes on the show as it unfolds week after week.

I have limited time during my weekly commuting to dedicate to a podcast, and I could only pick one. And Im so very glad I picked "The Picard." Its now my "Number One" (I hope you see what I did there). I enjoy the interactions between Dan, Haddie and Keith. Dan is funny and enjoyable to listen to, as well as being a great master of ceremonies and a true Trekkie. Keith makes great observations, awesome easter egg callouts and has a depth of canon knowledge, and he can and will debate on inconsistencies. Haddie comes at the show as more of a Trek newbie, but still earns Geek cred for the things she calls out and her character insights, AND *bonus* points, as a female Trekkie I get to hear a similar female Geek perspective on my fandom! (I was so tired of a previous Trek series podcast I listened too, that was a boys clubs with fart jokes, semi-misogyny and all… uhg) – Thank you Team “The Picard” for giving us a podcast I can be comfortable sharing with my Star Wars nerd teen, as I try to help him see there is so much more to geek over in the sci-fi multiverse… Love this podcast! LLAP!

You can tell that they’re true fans of Star Trek and don’t hold that back. They call out what is good and bad, but don’t try to be clickbait like so many others. You can be a super fan or just coming into Star Trek and find equal footing on this podcast. The audio quality and information are top notch. Subscribe now (if you haven’t already.)

I also grew up on TNG. Picard is awesome and the recap this POD gives is amazing. One gripe is that the assertion that Disco isn't trek. It is and while the first season was meh, the second was amazing. First two seasons of TNG were also meh but it's all trek baby!

Great commentary, the hosts always have interesting insight from multiple angles. The audio quality is fantastic as with any of the shows recorded by Dan Benjamin and the 5by5/Fireside network. If you’re watching Picard, frickin listen to this.

Not only THE PICARD but THE PICARD SHOW. Do yourself a favor... catch up with this great podcast that provides a great recap, informed speculation and interaction with the audience. Whether you are an old fan of Star Trek or new to the Universe... this is a great show!

It is SO great to hear Dan and Haddie talking about Trek, and Keith’s thoughtful analysis is always spot-on.... this is my kind of nerdery. I hope the three of you continue to do more shows together, not just about Picard.

Exactly what a good podcast should be: funny, engaging, and informative. With three hosts coming in at different levels of Trek-knowledge, this show is great for super-fans and sorta-fans. Whether you know every show chapter and verse or you’re new to Trek, this show is a must-listen.

Audio quality is champ Info is awesome Fun personalities Subscribe!!

Host dynamics are great, pacing is solid, it is an all around professional production that is my go-to listen after watching an episode of the TV show

Expertly produced, great on-topic content. This is exactly what I want from a review show. Keep up the great work!

As a totally unbiased person who lives with one of the hosts - I can say this is the best Star Trek: Picard podcast in existence. Would rate higher than 5 stars if able.
