Live Long and Podcast proudly presents a special Star Trek Radio Theatre live read of Galaxy Quest, the beloved sci‑fi comedy that lovingly parodies Star Trek fandom, conventions, and the power of storytelling. Join our cast of podcasters as they bring the film to life through live voice performances, creative character interpretations, and a full script read celebrating everything that makes Galaxy Quest a cult classic. The Thermians believe the show was real, and for one night, so do we. Never give up. Never surrender!

Live Long and Podcast presents:

"Galaxy Quest"

Release Date: December 25, 1999

In-universe date: 1999

Star Trek Radio Theatre, Season 5, Episode 2 (60th Overall)

Description:

The story follows the cast of Galaxy Quest, a fictional cult sci‑fi series whose washed‑up actors are suddenly thrust into a real interstellar crisis. A peaceful alien race, believing the TV show was a historical documentary, has modeled their entire society on it, and now they need their "heroes" to save them for real. It’s a loving parody, a heartfelt homage, and one of the greatest sci‑fi comedies ever made.
