    Best Sci Fi podcast
    They are simply the best interviewers in sci fi and podcasting. I love this podcast!
  • Joe Praska
    Awesome Geeks, Awesome Show!
    Love this group! There’s a great range of topics covered, some cool guests, and always a fantastic range of perspectives and takes. Great podcast!
  • colorfulmeta4
    Love You All! Thank you.
    Love to hear all about Trek from a group of older, nerdy PoC women! Bringing some fresh blood into the conversation (“fresh” also in the 90s sense, iykyk)! You all provide a service to Trek and sci-fi fandom and are a blessing to us all. Keep it up. Thank you.
  • Johnringo
    Great podcast
    Love the interviews, and also the episodes where they just throw a great topic around. These women know their Star Trek/TV/film history and their opinions are always worth listening to. Love this podcast!!!

    This is Wonderful
    I was looking for a female Star Trek podcast. Most tend to be male. I wasn’t expecting this wonderful group of black sci-fi sisters. This is fantastic
  • GALinReston
    Fantastic
    I popped over here because I saw the Melissa Navia episode referenced on her Instagram. I'm staying because it was so good and now I want to listen to them all. Great podcast from another OG Star Trek fan!

    SyFy Sistas has amazing Star Trek and sci-fi interviews
    In the last few months, SyFy Sistas have had some of the best interviews in the Star Trek and science fiction world. Going backward: Tawny Newsome, Jayne Brook, Benjamin Tomlinson, an AMAZING interview with Anson Mount (look for the video online), and more. I think part of the reason their interviews are so amazing and deep is that the Systas have such an overwhelming love for Star Trek and the characters. All the actors and behind-the-scenes folks they interview respond to this and quickly fall in love with the Sistas — and then blurt out secrets they are not supposed to say to the public! SyFy Sistas has become one of my MUST LISTEN podcasts (and I am not even a Sista!). Recommended.

    “Pure joy and wonderful perspectives”
    I can’t even begin to describe how much I always enjoy this podcast. The hosts are delightful- so many brilliant perspectives that I missed watching the various shows discussed, and so much joy and humor in the discussion. I always find myself grinning ear-to-ear while listening and for hours thereafter, and find I’ve learned a ton. Highly highly recommend. Subscribe now!

    My Sista from Anutha Mutha!
    I’ve finally started listening to some of my favorite humans on the planet and they do not disappoint. Always bringing outstandingly thoughtful questions to their guests, the ones we all want to know! Their love of Trek and respect for each other shines through and I find I have a big smile pasted on my Montana hillbillie gob each and every time. They keep it real and make me a very happy listener.
  • DF podcast
    Amazing!
    I am so in love with this podcast! The SyFy Sistas are so much fun! They are intelligent and very knowledgeable. I truly enjoy hearing their views on all things Trek and SciFi! The Sistas keep it real and will make you laugh so much. You will not be sorry you listened to this podcast.

    Love love love!
    I love, love, love this podcast!! Listening to a handful of humorous beautiful black women gushing and laughing about Star Trek is apparently something I never knew I needed in my life and boy am I grateful. There are a lot of Star Trek pods out there. Some are just critical to be so but on this one, you can feel the love these ladies have for Star Trek though they do not let it get away with it's flaws. It's so beautiful and I am so here for any and all future episodes. P.S- thoughts on the Picard season 2 trailers? Opinions on Lower decks? I am here for all of it. Thank you, ladies. :)
  • Scott Erik Jensen
    This Podcast is what the word needs!
    The combination of ladies that make up The SyFy Sistas are the perfect storm to end the drought that the podcasting world, and its sci-fi sub-culture, has been facing for years. Five stars is NOT enough!

    Sacred Space
    Thank you for what you do! Awesome series representing Black Excellence. Fun times each time and I always learn valuable lessons on perspective, culture and a all around experience of Afrofuturism in the present! DABO!!!!
  • imfrmnewyawk
