Episode 68

"Caretaker"

Published on: 23rd September, 2024

Ah, Voyager... or as we like to call it in the business, the podcast killer. How many Trek-centered shows have thrived covering The Next Generation or Deep Space Nine, only to whither and die when Voyager comes along? But will that happen for our intrepid show? Or will this silly little series be a surprisingly good caretaker for our podcast? The only way to find out is to travel with us 75,000 light years into the Delta Quadrant and watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Voyager.

This is the beginning of part six of our 100 episode list, Venturing Out Into The Universe, in which we're examining how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over its history. In this chunk of episodes, we're going to be looking at Voyager--the series that was positioned to be the flag bearer of Golden Age Trek after TNG. This will be a seventeen episode selection comprised of episodes from the first, second, and third seasons of Star Trek: Voyager (1995-96).

Episode discussion starts at 23:22.

Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Aren Hatch, with Adriana Lemke & Abbie Drage.

About the Podcast

Star Trek Stories
A Watch-Along Podcast
A podcast where we hang out with friends, watch episodes from across the Star Trek franchise, and chat about them!

This is a show for both newcomers and long-time fans alike, as part of we what do here is explore perspectives on Star Trek and storytelling in general. We're currently watching through a curated 100 episode list titled "Venturing Through The Universe." In this list, we're exploring how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over the decades, beginning with its origins in 1964 and seeing where it ends up in the modern day. We'll go on adventures with Mister Spock, listen to Patrick Stewart wax philosophically about humanity, and see how high Captain Pike's towering pompadour can get. Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, we'll get a look at just about everything Star Trek has to offer. So grab your headphones, cue up an episode, and get lost in a silly little Star Trek story with us. Make it so!
