LOS ANGELES—Global pop culture icon, actor, author, and lifelong explorer William Shatner is
teaming up with his daughter, Melanie Shatner Gretsch, for their most personal and powerful
project to date: No Time But Now with William Shatner and Melanie Shatner Gretsch, a new
weekly video podcast focused on health, wellness, and longevity.
Presented by LifeWave, the video podcast will be available across all major streaming platforms
every Wednesday beginning this week, July 29.
The series is featured on PEOPLE’s latest cover and in its cover story, in which the TV icon and his
daughter open up about their deeply personal journey and the podcast born of their simultaneous
and successful battles with Stage 4 cancers—an experience that strengthened their bond and
sparked a shared curiosity about the most effective paths to healing, resilience, and longevity.
“Going through Stage 4 cancer at the same time as my daughter is something I never could have
imagined,” said William Shatner. “There’s nothing that prepares you for that. But it brought us
closer in ways that are hard to put into words. We’re incredibly grateful to be here, cancer free,
and it’s made us even more curious about how to stay well and make the most of the time we
have. No Time But Now is our way of exploring that—and sharing what we learn along the way.”
Adds Melanie Shatner Gretsch: “Facing something so incredibly difficult created a real shift for
me—it made me want to live every minute more fully and be much more intentional about
everything, including my health and well-being. No Time But Now comes from that place of
2
immediacy—it’s about learning, sharing, and helping others feel empowered as they navigate
their own life journey.”
Each week, this father-daughter duo engage with researchers advancing the science of longevity,
wellness practitioners, spiritual and religious leaders, fellow survivors, physicians who helped
guide their own cancer journeys, and extraordinary individuals and friends whose experiences
offer wisdom, resilience, and hope.
Blending these insights with humor, warmth, and deeply personal storytelling, William and
Melanie tackle topics including cancer and recovery, mental and emotional health, nutrition,
spirituality, near-death experiences, aging, and preparing for life’s inevitable transitions. These
conversations are designed to inspire listeners to embrace new perspectives, live with intention,
and make every moment count.
At 95, William Shatner continues to defy expectations with remarkable vitality and curiosity.
Through this podcast, he and Melanie set out to answer a universal question: How can we not only
live longer—but live better?
Guests include (alphabetically): death doula and end-of-life advocate Alua Arthur; longevity
