70s Trek: Star Trek In The 1970s

Once Star Trek reruns began to be seen across the country in syndication, the show attracted a whole new audience of viewers.  It was on everyday at the same time, and it was easy for viewers to catch episodes.   This all helped to contribute to Star Trek's popularity in the 1970s.  Clubs sprang up, conventions were held and fanzines were printed.  In this unique environment, Bjo and a friend came up with the idea of the book, The Star Trek Concordance. Bjo and John tell us the story of the Concordance, as well as the letter writing campaign that resulted in the name of NASA's first space shuttle being named Enterprise. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto talk with Bjo and John in part 2 of their interview with these Star Trek legends.  Without them, the show might not have achieved a third season, and possibly would not have gone into syndication.  And without reruns being seen across the country, Star Trek would have died after cancellation and been forgotten.
