Failing Frequency - A Star Trek Podcast
Mike and Ethan
Show overview
Failing Frequency - A Star Trek Podcast has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 65 episodes. That works out to roughly 95 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 8m and 1h 41m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Fiction show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 31 episodes published. Published by Mike and Ethan.
