What Is THE STARLOST? (An Introduction) – UFTA 001

UP FROM THE ASHES is a podcast about . . .

* THE STARLOST, a TV show from fifty years ago, and we’re talking about it exactly fifty years after its episodes aired…
* SCI-FI IDEAS from THE STARLOST that engage the imagination, even if the budget and the abilities of the people behind the show couldn’t quite produce what they were imagining…
* BAD SCI-FI TV, BIG SCI-FI IDEAS…

This episode explains and explores what THE STARLOST was, what it was meant to be, and how we’re going to have some fun talking about it!

  • Norman Klenman, writer and showrunner
