An irreverent roast and celebration of everything Star Trek, The Greatest Generation is the most listened to and highest rated Star Trek podcast in the world. For ten years Ben and Adam have laughed their way through TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT watch-throughs, and now we’re rewatching them all over again. What's different ten years in? How have we changed?

Im so happy to see you guys taking THIS show independent, and now it’s time to call up John and get the other band back together. I NEED to hear you guys review Seven Samurai. ❤️
Long-time viewer, finally figured out how to leave a review. Go-to comfort podcast, it’s been great getting to parasocially hang. As many have said, this podcast has helped through some tough times, thanks for taking the chance on making it. Thrilled you decided to revisit TNG.
Worth your time, great humor and analysis throughout
I’ve been injecting this extremely well produced dick and fart Star Trek/Men’s Health podcast into my earholes for a decade. It’s so good I’ve gone through it twice! As Adam and Ben say, it’s about the hang. Trek fan or no, give it a chance and tell me with a straight face you didn’t think it was funny and entertaining - I dare you! Thanks B&A, here’s to another 10!
A surprisingly thoughtful exploration of Trek for a show ostensibly about poking fun at the ridiculous parts of the series(s). Now is the ideal time to start if you haven’t listened. They are so committed to the bits that they actually did start over from the beginning to go through TNG once again.

A long-running, humor-forward analysis of Star Trek series, blending sharp episode breakdown with running gags, personal anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes trivia. Hosts riff on classic and newer entries, exploring ethics, leadership, culture, and technology through a fan-friendly lens that prizes camaraderie and inside jokes as much as rigorous storytelling discussion. Notable traits include a strong chemistry between the hosts, a self-aware willingness to poke fun at their own nostalgia, and a history of evolving production formats (including independent hosting and ad-free subscriber options) that keeps content fresh for Trek enthusiasts and podcast newcomers alike.
