Is Star Trek Dead?
Episode 132
Friday, 2 January, 2026
There was a time when Star Trek wasn't something you searched for...it was just always on. From constant syndication to an unprecedented 18-year run of back-to-back series, Trek lived in the background of everyday life and quietly shaped an entire generation. In this episode, we look back at the so-called "Golden Age" of Star Trek and ask why the franchise feels smaller today, even though there's technically more of it than ever. We explore the power of 26-episode seasons, the loss of syndication, the rise of streaming, and how those shifts changed Trek's place in popular culture. This isn't a rant, but a love letter, it's a funny, thoughtful reflection on what we lost, what we gained, and why Star Trek still feels like home.
