This is the first podcast I listen to at the beginning of the week. I’m rewatching old episodes then listening to the podcast again. I feel like I have to friends enjoying the show right along with me.

I’ve listened to all the season 3 shows and quite a few of the early ones and I am so impressed at how consistently you dive deep into each one providing great insights and sharing your love for it. I also listened to three of the recent guest interviews which were awesome. You guys seem to know how to get your guests to loosen up and be themselves, revealing the really good people behind the characters and crew. I hope very much we get a season four so I can hear you many more times… in the future!

I work at a school and I found you guys over the summer. I have been going back and listening to past episodes while getting ready for students to return. I love the show so much and wanted to find people who felt the same way. I could not have asked for better. The two of you have something very special. I hope the show and this podcast will continue on.

The Orville is a great show and this acts as a wonderful companion piece. As much as I love learning about the universe in the show I also love learning interesting facts about how it is made and the insight on the social commentary. I am very pleased to see the success of the podcast and watch the hosts interview the Orville cast. Great job, Rob and Katie!

Absolutely in love with this podcast! I only recently discovered it, but I’ve already listened to all the episodes for the current season. I’m now doing a rewatch of the first season and listening to the associated pods. Love hearing your thoughts on each episode. My favorite episode of all time is A Tale of Two Topas. I was so angry with what happened to Topa in About a Girl and I love the follow up to that story. Thanks for making such an enjoyable podcast!

The Orville is appointment television for me every week. And now Quantum Drive has become appointment listening! I drive a lot for work and you guys keep me entertained for the entire drive. Keep up the great work! You have a lifetime listener here.

I’m a huge Orville fan who’s been unable to convert my friends to fans and I’ve been needing more Orville discussion and this podcast has more than filled that gap. Love the analysis and the fun facts. Cannot wait to watch new episodes of the Orville so I can listen to the podcast! Keep up the great work!

Your podcast is my favorite of The Orville podcasts I’ve listened to. The others don’t have the conversational style and friendship that you have. They also compare The Orville to that ‘other’ very well known sci-fi show too much. Katie you missed that Bruce Boxleitner, President Alcuzan, was in the 80s tv show Scarecrow and Mrs. King and probably best known for that. He was also a potential presidential candidate in one of the modern Outer Limit episodes. I’ve also read his books which are good (similar to Aliens and Cowboys). Lastly, you forgot to mention he is reading the new Orville novella coming out July 19th. Rob don’t over think the election in “Gently Falling Rain” just go with the flow ;-). And unlike you who likes to go cold into an episode, I HAVE to see a preview of a new show just so I have something to hold me over until it actually comes on. Finally, I really want to know what you think of ‘Twice In A Lifetime’ when I know Lasting Impressions is your favorite episode.

Hey now! As this was my first podcast I actually listen to let alone every episode of, I have to say Rob and Katie truly bring a much needed discussion and view points about every new episode of the Orville, as a new fan to sci-fi because of my young adult age I have not seen much of Star Trek, I love hearing the comparisons between the 2 shows that Rob and Katie bring up in discussions, it’s made me want to watch Star Trek! Thank you so much for allowing us fans to listen in to your takes on each episode and I’m looking forward “to the future” episodes of Orville and Quantum Drive! Again thank you Rob and Katie for bringing the fans of a great new generation sci-fi show together!

Fellow Orville fans - I cannot say this clearly enough - not a single episode of The Orville feels complete until I've finished each follow-up Quantum Drive episode. Rob & Katie don't just provide good commentary, they invite us to sit down together and share in talking about the show as friends, and that makes what they do and how they do it an experience set apart from so many other podcasts. The Orville is a GREAT show. Quantum Drive is its natural companion. One last thing -- Rob & Katie, I would love for you both to consider a watch-through podcast of TNG after Orville Season 3 ends. I believe you would do it proper justice and I, for one, would love to keep you on my weekly playlist talking about something we all love. Here's to the future!

Best Orville podcast! Can’t wait until you are back with more shows.

Nobody else I know watches the show unfortunately, so it’s really nice to get some other perspectives on these episodes! Quantum Drive is a really well done podcast - Katie and Rob clearly take care to look at The Orville objectively and ask good questions about the show which gives the content an interesting and fun edge. I love listening after I watch the episodes for the trivia too!

As a listener and contributor to shows on The Geek Generation Network, Quantum Drive is what brought me to the Orville. After a few episodes, it became part of my weekly routine to watch an episode or two and then listen to the podcast to really dig deep into what I was watching. It's been a great way to catch up with the series and get well acquanted with the universe as we all prepare for the arrival of season 3, (say it with me now) "IN THE FUTURE!"

As an avid podcast listener, I'm always on the lookout for a "good listen". Rob and Katie, you all strike the perfect balance between straight episode wrap-up and thoughtful discussion couched in a very entertaining package. You don't bash the show's flaws or artifically gush over the show's highlights, but you explore them with honesty -- much like the intrepid explorers aboard our favorite space vessel -- as you invite us to join you in the journey. Thank you, a thousand times over, for giving your fellow fans a reason each week to revisit this amazing show. Keep up the great work and I look forward to sharing the journey of season 3 with you both!!

This podcast on The Orville’s Lasting Impressions has made one on me. This is one of my favorite episodes. Your viewpoints on this episode resonated well with me from an emotional view, a moral compass, and a tech issue. What can/cannot the simulator do. Gordon’s character development was huge in this episode and I want more! The loneliness and longing was made so real that my heart literally ached for him. I remember reading about the life and works of some famous people and feeling so fascinated and so much attraction that I wished to have a simulator! I felt like falling into infatuation for a bit. In that, it’s scary to think about a future with simulators. I also thought a funny ending that could have capped any fantasy about such an experience would have been to reveal that Laura was a very distant relative of Gordon’s. Ack! Thank you for a GREAT podcast. To end my lengthy take: “The universe is not governed by individual perception. It matters what’s true.” Ed Mercer

I love listening to this show on my way to work. They have a great balance between humor and serious, just like the show itself! I’m always excited to see a new episode show up when I check my podcasts. Look forward to following this show in the future.

I’m rewatching the Orville right now and found this podcast on reddit. I’ve now listened to all of the available podcast episodes and enjoyed all of them. The trivia and discussions are great and the hosts have good chemistry. I hope y’all can get some actors/staff from the show soon! I’ll be listening and I hope your podcast base keeps growing. Great job!

I appreciate you having a good format and great sound. The intro is really good too. Looking forward to hearing all your reviews!

I’ve listened to several Orville podcasts and this one is quickly becoming my favorite! The hosts have a good rapport with each other and they delve deeper into the themes of the show rather than just rehashing what happens on the episode they are reviewing. I’m looking forward to more episodes!

I’m so glad I randomly stumbled upon this podcast. I’m a huge Orville fan and I was instantly grabbed by the podcast title artwork. What I love about Rob and Katie are their in-depth discussions and fun facts about the episode, and their differing opinions on things including jokes, which leads to great banter between them. Looking forward to going to quantum with these two.

Unlike Bortus and Klyden, Rob and Katie did not lay an egg making this podcast
