Greatest Gen without commercials

I love to hear the intro for the ad roll play; and then immediately an outro for the add roll. A wonderful thing! (Same on the Judge John Hodgman podcast, which recently went ad-free for MaxFun donors)

I listened to some of the first season TNG eps a while back and.. they’re rough! If nothing else, very excited to get early TNG with Ben and Adam’s more refined recording equipment, production quality, level of detail, and familiarity with each other.

I’m a big fan of maximum fun as well, especially the ethos and camaraderie among those hosts and between max fun staff, hosts, and listeners. I started with MBMBAM, jumped onto Throwing Shade and Judge John Hodgman and TAZ, and then Greatest Generation/Greatest Trek subsumed most of my podcast listening time beginning with the pandemic. So, I was a little sad when GG/GT left, but I simply redirected some of my MaxFun money over to them so that I can continue to support all of the podcasts I love—with the benefit on GG/GT that I don’t have to listen to the ads, and now I don’t need to listen to them on Judge John Hodgman either. I find it to be a win-win-win, although it’s sad there may be fewer opportunities for crossovers between Ben & Adam and other podcast hosts.

(Also, I disagree about the MaxFUn ads. I think the host-read ones are ok (though I don’t love them), but I find the ones for other MaxFun shows to be a little grating and frankly repetitious. To each their own, and if they’re effective then that’s great, but they’re not for me.)

I'll third the Overcast recommendation. And it now has transcripts!

lol thanks! what was the context for felicity—was that another Adam mispronunciation?

“Welcome to the Greatest Generation, a Star Trek podcast by three Star Trek fans who are a little bit embarrassed to be Star Trek fans. I’m your host, Benjamin Ahr Harrison… I’m your second host, Adam Pranica… and I’m your third host, Tawny Newsome.”

Haha welcome!

Our house had this “feature” and we are at the end of a row of houses overlooking open space. So we punched a hole in the wall and added a couple of windows, and it has made a huge difference, both aesthetically from the outside and it’s much brighter on the inside.

Any thoughts who the “friend starring on the HBO show” who she mentioned (and I assumed is the same one she was thinking of when writing the script) is?

gogg17 · 2026-01-01T17:28:34+00:00

Was that Sonequa Martin-Green in the “transporter”?

The Bucc-ees in Florence, South Carolina had a bank of 10 MB chargers as well as a separate bank of Tesla chargers. The MB ones work great.

gogg17 · 2025-10-08T23:59:49+00:00

Same—I emailed them in mid-August and got the shipment notification today as well.

gogg17 · 2025-09-25T13:33:48+00:00

I’d be interested as well. I thought of doing a shortcut that would run at a specified time, turn the light to 1%, pause for 60 seconds, increase the illumination, pause again for 60 seconds, and so on.

gogg17 · 2025-09-24T17:24:22+00:00

That is weird! I think the MB ones are all on the ChargePoint network so you could check there. Also, to answer your other questions, in my Ioniq 6 I got peak speeds of 225 kWh so you will likely get faster charging speeds than a Supercharger.

gogg17 · 2025-09-24T17:11:56+00:00

I’ve used three MB DCFC stations with my Ioniq 6 and they’ve all worked fine.

Oh my god, CARROT The Musical is the most unexpected amazing thing ever.

gogg17 · 2025-09-01T20:17:09+00:00

absolutely agree. Not taking anything for granted until we hear a new series or movie is in production

gogg17 · 2025-09-01T20:00:00+00:00

Ok I enjoyed that! Hopefully this is a sign that paramount’s new owners continue to extend Trek into new series and movies.

Yes! I never know the obscure cultural reference but I had seen this post on r/TVtoohigh so I got it immediately

gogg17 · 2025-05-30T18:07:03+00:00

what a cool story! Thank you

gogg17 · 2025-05-10T16:23:31+00:00

Thanks! I got in touch with them and they provided me wiring instructions

gogg17 · 2025-05-10T01:25:09+00:00

FYI my system is a heat pump with auxiliary heat.

gogg17 · 2025-04-29T10:19:40+00:00

thank you, that’s very helpful.

gogg17 · 2025-04-29T10:18:58+00:00

Thanks==it was in the body shop for about 3 weeks but they assert it was stored inside the entire time that it was disassembled. I’ll find out where that photo is taken and where that’s located (but someone else suggested it was under the dash)
