Before the movies and modern merch, Star Trek fandom was already keeping the franchise alive. In this episode, Jim from TrekWorld explores how early fans built a handmade network of fanzines, letters, conventions, and underground publishing that helped preserve Star Trek through the late 1960s and 1970s. From Spockanalia to Save Star Trek flyers, this is the story of fandom as infrastructure โ and how a few dedicated people helped shape the future of the franchise.
If you love Star Trek history, fan culture, and the origins of modern fandom, this deep dive is for you.
