Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
[TPD001] This episode, with Earl away on Risa, jaQ` has invited The Prime Detective himself, Grayson, to come and chat about The Prime Detective, as well as a certain upcoming television series. The Prime Detective is a podcast that follows the strange new worlds where Star Trek and real life overlap. From cults and crimes to fame and culture, we explore how Trek and other sci-fi franchises have inspired, and sometimes interfered with, actual events here on Earth. It’s part fandom deep dive, part true-crime mystery, uncovering the ways our favorite stories escape the screen and into reality. In this episode of “Let’s Talk About Treks,” I engage in a deep conversation with Grayson from “The Prime Detective,” diving into the fascinating connections between science fiction and real-world events, particularly focusing on the iconic franchise Star Trek. Grayson shares insights into his podcast’s unique format—short-term documentary-style episodes that emphasize brief, impactful stories blending true crime elements with science fiction narratives. He discusses how his background in cable news taught him the power of brevity, enabling him to tell compelling stories quickly. We explore the genesis of “The Prime Detective,” where Grayson elucidates his passion for storytelling through the lens of true crime that resonates with Star Trek themes. He elaborates on how true crime narratives differ from fictional storytelling, highlighting the unpredictability of human behavior and the gritty reality of unsolved mysteries. Listeners are treated to exciting anecdotes, including an unexpected connection between missing persons cases and the world of Star Trek, illustrating the rich tapestry of narrative inspiration that exists when merging these genres. Come learn all about The Prime Detective podcast and why Grayson is an amazing addition to the Star Trek podcasting community!
