Saturday Night Spectacular: Pledge Drive

On Saturday, May 31 from 8pm to 11pm ET (5pm to 8pm PT), Trek Radio’s very own master of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, Timelord, lands his TARDIS for a special edition of the Saturday Night Spectacular co-hosted by JackAttack.

This One-Night-Only special Saturday Night Spectacular will host a Pledge Drive extravaganza with festivities at Quark’s Bar on Deep Space Nine inside Star Trek Online, with costume contests (Best Duty Uniform, Best Off-Duty Uniform), a scavenger hunt, and more. In-game prizes will be awarded to the top three donators of the night.

The goal of this special event, in addition to having lots of fun, is to raise donations for the station to help cover our monthly fees as well as to gear up for our presence at the largest Star Trek convention in the world, Star Trek Las Vegas.

Interview: Behind Glass Walls

On Saturday, May 3 at 12pm ET (9am PT / 5pm BST), R. Dana Browne joins us live on-air to discuss his upcoming short film, Behind Glass Walls.

Behind Glass Walls is a romantic dramedy based on actual events. The universal message of the story is the breaking down of our personal walls and becoming more of what we can, and want to be. Everyone has walls. Of course, for each of us these barriers take on very different and individualized forms. Whether romantic, financial, familial or occupational, our walls can either disrupt our lives or provide the opportunity for inspired breakthroughs.

The hope in producing this film is to both entertain and inspire the audience through the true story of a man who overcomes his wall of fear and takes a huge risk… for love.

This touching short film stars writer R. Dana Browne, Christopher Atkins, Samantha Siong, Star Trek alum Tucker Smallwood (VOY, ENT), and Star Trek legend Nichelle Nichols.

An Indiegogo campain has been launched to fund the project, running from May 2 to June 6, 2014 with a $25,000 goal.

To honor Sarah Elizabeth Jones who recently perished in a tragic train accident on a film set, 5% of funds received on this campaign are being donated to the BCHS Foundation Sarah Jones Education Scholarship Fund. Her loss has brought the film community together and the creators of Behind Glass Walls want to honor her spirit by encouraging talented artists to pursue their dreams in front of or behind the camera.
