A decade of Star Trek-themed fart jokes: The Greatest Generation podcast turns 10
A decade is a long time for a TV series; no single iteration ofStar Trekhas made it that far.
But a Star Trek podcast by two guys just a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trekpodcast" has now passed the milestone. January 25, 2026, marks a full decade since The Greatest Generation, my favorite podcast, debuted. Like a bottle of Chateau Picard, the showhas only improved with age. (I interviewed the guys behind the show back in 2016 when they were just getting started.)
The podcast helped me rediscover, and appreciate more fully, Star Trek: The Next Generation-which is also my favorite TV show. The Greatest Generation continues to delight with its irreverent humor, its celebration of the most minor of characters, and its technical fascination with how a given episode was made.
