Show overview
Battlestar Recaptica has been publishing since 2016, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 81 episodes. That works out to roughly 80 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 50 min and 1h 8m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 28 episodes published. Published by Rick Broida and Dave Johnson.

Ep 61BONUS: The Star Trek Picardcast - Episode 0
Hey, Recaptica fans! Something new from Rick and Dave: We're starting with a Star Trek Picard "precap," then we'll go on to recap the first episode of the new series -- and maybe more! Hope you'll join us. We missed you!
Ep 60Our Final Episode: 'The Plan'
We're back! It took awhile, but as promised, we returned to the Galactiverse for one last hurrah. Actually, more like one last "meh." Because while we did find some redeeming elements in this half-baked "Plan," we're not sure it's required viewing. It's definitely required listening, though, because we also spend some time talking about Star Trek Discovery, The Orville, The Umbrella Academy, and even Avengers: Endgame!
Ep 59S4 E21 - 'Daybreak, Pt. 3'
Finally, the finale! It's bittersweet to say goodbye -- not just to this monumental TV show, but to everyone who's watched and listened along with us. Thanks so much for joining us on this amazing journey. And get ready for what's next! Yep, we're doing Travelers.
Ep 58S4 E20 - 'Daybreak, Pt. 2'
Get ready for the non-stop action thrill-ride that is the middle act of the series finale.
Ep 57S4 E19 - 'Daybreak, Pt. 1'
It's the (beginning of the) end of the world as we know it, and we feel fine. Why not commemorate the show -- and the podcast -- with some awesome Battlestar Recaptica swag?
Ep 56S4 E18 - 'Islanded in a Stream of Stars' (Extended version)
Let's all sing together: "Islanded in a stream (of stars) / That is what we are / No one in-between / How can we be wrong?" Sorry, we just thought some Bee Gees might make up for this uneven episode. We watched the extended cut... and don't necessarily recommend you do likewise.
Ep 55S4 E17 - 'Someone to Watch Over Me' with special guest Mark A. Altman!
AKA "Ghost Dad." AKA "Battlestar Gershwinica." AKA "Boom-er goes the dynamite." Also, the co-author of "So Say We All" (the book, not our show sign-off) stops by to share some fantastic stories about the show!
Ep 54S4 E16 - 'Deadlock'
Maybe they should have called it Meh-lock? A plodding, non-sensical misfire in an otherwise wonderful season.
Ep 53S4 E15 - 'No Exit'
Say hello to Anders Exposition-Bot 3000! And find out who won the Battlestar Recaptica Blu-ray Giveaway!
Ep 52S4 E14 - 'Blood on the Scales'
Um, remember all that stuff Rick said about Zarek being a decent guy? Never mind. Plus: Dave's big announcement is swag-tastic! Get your Battlestar Recaptica loot at https://www.teepublic.com/user/bsgr
Ep 51S4 E13 - 'The Oath' with special guest Jamie Bamber!
Felix Gaeta swore an oath when he put on that uniform, but he betrays it in this episode. We swore an oath to bring you as many cast-members as possible, and we are honoring that promise with none other than Jamie "Apollo" Bamber! Therefore: We > Gaeta.
Ep 50S4 E12 - 'A Disquiet Follows My Soul'
And when a disquiet catches up to my soul, it's a bloodbath. Meanwhile, there's a whole lotta fomenting going on. Join us for a breakdown of Ron Moore's first stint in the director's chair! (Spoiler alert: he did great!)
Ep 49S4 E11 - 'Sometimes a Great Notion' with special guest Kandyse McClure!
Dualla herself joins us to discuss one of the most wrenching episodes to date. Meanwhile, Tigh and Adama have it out in one of the most wrenching scenes to date. Did we mention this episode was wrenching?
Ep 48S4 E10 - 'Revelations'
"Wait a second... you can't be a Cylon. You used to have HAIR!" Come to think of it, what real proof DO the Final Four have that they're Cylons? A shared love of Jimi Hendrix? Plus: A Battlestar Recaptica super-fan joins us to talk BSG!
Ep 47S4 E9 - 'The Hub'
D'Anna returns (yay!), Baltar fesses up (whoa!), and Roslyn has visions (ummm... no thanks!).
Ep 46S4 E8 - 'Sine Qua Non'
No this, no that. Sine Qua Non. Turns out the Galactiverse speaks Latin -- and so does Adama! That's the good news; the bad news is that Romo Lampkin returns, and not in a good way.
Ep 45S4 E7 - 'Guess What's Coming to Dinner'
Oooh! Is it Sidney Poitier? Oh, right: what. Okay, then our money's on a toaster. Just make sure you're not serving toast! Because awkward... Want to check out the video Rick mentioned in this episode? Here's your link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuCn8ux2gbs
Ep 44S4 E6 - 'Faith'
Faith takes many forms: faith in your commanding officer, faith in one or more gods, faith in the babble of a gal lying in a tub of goo...
Ep 43S4 E5 - 'The Road Less Traveled'
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood... I took the one less traveled by." --Robert Frost What is the "road" in this episode? Discuss. (We have absolutely no idea.) Want to support Battlestar Recaptica with a little space-cash? Now you can! https://patron.podbean.com/bsgrecap
Ep 42S4 E4 - 'Escape Velocity' with special guest Aaron Douglas!
The Chief himself stops by to chat about his time on the Galactica and, among other things, that amazing scene in Joe's Bar.
