‘The best fiction podcasts worth listening to in 2023’ by Tal Minear for Descript.com
“Starship Q Star is raunchy and hilarious... The writers aren’t afraid to embrace the weird and wild, and it benefits the listening experience. They don’t limit themselves to the comedic, though — there are hopeful and touching moments as well... Starship Q Star also shines in its unapologetic depiction of the queer experience, messy relationships, hopeful longing, and all the good things that come out of it.”

I LOVE Starship Q Star!
I can't believe I haven't yet YELLED FROM THE ROOFTOPS about how much I LOVE @starshipqstar but I do. I love it so much. Raunchy, slapstick, sapphic science-fiction comedy at its finest, this show dares to ask: what if Mission to Zyxx was about really horny lesbians?
Ella Watts, Co-Creator of Doctor Who: Redacted (BBC Sounds)
I can’t get over how funny it is
Just brilliant! Joyful silly queer space high jinks. Unsurprisingly, Meegan and Lauren have knocked it out of the park.
Alex Mullarky, Queer YA author of The Sky Beneath The Stone
The destruction of Planet Earth has never been more inviting
I absolutely love the sense of humour and heart of Starship Q Star. Beautiful, clever, funny writing that also moves you in surprising ways. There are so many great one liners, but it is the depth of emotional feeling that Meegan May and Lauren Anderson bring to the story that sets it apart from other comedy podcasts. Like the best classic sitcoms or adult cartoons, Starship Q Star has a great cast of characters that already feel like a comfortable pair of slippers. After two episodes I’m hooked. Can’t wait to hear which part of the galaxy the Starship crew takes us next!

One of the funniest things I have ever heard
Starship Q Star is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. There are lots of queer jokes and Space jokes but the best ones are the subtle one liners, delivered with perfect comedic timing by the hilarious cast. The show has everything - a planet of the week format, cool alien biology, queer drama, love triangles, a ship computer, frappés. The characters are truly the hottest messes in Space and it's impossible to pick a favourite. If this show had existed when I was a baby gay, I think it would have altered the course of my life. The sound design is a lot of fun and the music absolutely SLAPS. I’m always so excited for a new release!

Perfect comedic timing
Starship Q Star is a breath of fresh air. Imagine The L Word did a brief but unforgettable crossover with Star Trek, and you’re somewhere in the right ballpark. This is by far the most a podcast has made me laugh out loud in a very long time. The writing itself is hilarious, but the delivery of the comedy in this show is what does it for me. This wonderfully queer cast is stock full of perfect comedic timing, each actor lending a unique voice to this cast of loveable and messy characters. It’s full of queer culture in-jokes, and has found a perfect balance between futuristic sci-fi and a grounded present-day feel to the characters and their jokes (the misogynistic General in particular had me in tears laughing). There are only a few episodes out at the moment, but I’m genuinely so excited to hear more from this show, it’s becoming a fast-favourite already.

When are we getting a live action?
In a time where quality queer content is getting canceled one after the other, in walks the perfect antidote! This production has all the gay mixed with clever dialogue, phenomenal performances, and high quality sound design. Can’t wait for future seasons!

Made me cry… tears of laughter
Ugh I love that this exists. She-ra meets Firefly meets the L Word. Can’t wait for more episodes!

Fun Sci-Fi Comedy
Funny, gay, lots of great performances. The dialog is well-balanced despite the somewhat large cast that can pop up in one episode, which makes it easier to get into.

Fun-tastic - a great journey!
I’m three episodes in and already hooked. This podcast is a masterpiece of fun one-liners, individual characters and a storyline that takes you literally across the galaxy!!! Very fun and a great time for anyone looking to escape in a spaceship 🚀

In space, can anyone here you squee?
One of my favorite genres of audio drama podcasts is "Star Trek but make it super queer" and I've been getting that in spades recently. Starship Q Star is a weird, silly, lighthearted show with a lot of heart and warmth. Each character has their own quirks and personalities but those quirks and personalities don't overrun or muddle the narrative (which itself is a brilliant satire of 60s sci fi). It's a must listen for any fan of audio sci-fi.
