THE SECRETS OF
Stargate
The Secrets of Stargate is a podcast that goes beyond alien worlds and interstellar travel to explore the ideas, themes, and lasting appeal of the Stargate franchise. From the original 1994 film and Stargate SG-1 through Atlantis, Universe, and the exciting upcoming new Stargate series in production, each episode examines the narrative, philosophical, and cultural undercurrents that make this universe compelling to fans around the world.
Hosted by thoughtful commentators and devoted Stargate fans, the show digs into character arcs, mythic structures, moral dilemmas, and the franchise’s treatment of science, faith, leadership, and identity. What makes Stargate’s blending of ancient myth and futuristic exploration so resonant? How do themes like sacrifice, hope, curiosity, and community play out across the series? And what can the evolving universe — including the new series on the horizon — teach us about our own longings for discovery, belonging, and purpose?
As part of the StarQuest Production Network, The Secrets of Stargate reflects SQPN’s mission to bridge modern culture with thoughtful inquiry. Rather than surface-level recap, the podcast offers meaningful analysis that connects Stargate’s storytelling to enduring human questions about faith, morality, and what it means to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Whether you’re a long-time fan or curious about the expanding franchise, this podcast provides insight, depth, and engaging conversation about a universe that continues to inspire.
