The countdown rolls on! Bill and Dan are back with the next installment of our 60th anniversary series, ranking Star Trek's 60 greatest moments. This time we crack the top 30, and the stakes (and the arguments) keep climbing. We're covering #30 through #21, pulling from six decades of Trek across the shows and the movies. Expect big character moments, a few gut punches, at least one "how is that not in the top 10?!" outburst, and the tangents that only happen when two Trek Geeks get a list and a microphone. Did we get it right? Did we snub your favorite? Tell us what we missed, and if you're enjoying the countdown, leave us a rating and review wherever you listen. It helps more Trek fans find the show. Live long, prosper, and stay tuned for the top 20 coming soon. 🖖

Strange New Worlds has taken us on quite a ride this season, and in this week’s episode, the BIG Sci‑Fi crew dives headfirst into the second half of Season 4 — and wow, do the feelings fly. This is one of those episodes where passion meets analysis, and the conversation gets delightfully spicy as the team breaks down what’s working, what’s not, and why this season has fans buzzing. - What You’ll Hear in This Episode - Bold Choices & Big Swings: The crew unpacks the creative risks SNW takes in the back half of the season — from character arcs to tonal shifts — and debates which ones soar and which ones sputter. The Emotional Highs (and Lows): There’s plenty of love for standout performances, powerful moments, and classic Trek themes… but also some frustration with choices that left the crew scratching their heads. Canon, Continuity & Controversy: SNW continues to play in the sandbox of Trek history, and the team isn’t shy about discussing where it honors the legacy — and where it might be bending it a bit too far. A Season That Sparks Conversation: Whether you adored it, questioned it, or landed somewhere in between, Season 4’s second half gives fans a lot to talk about — and the BIG Sci‑Fi crew brings all the energy, humor, and heart you expect. - Why This Episode Hits Hard - This is the kind of discussion Trek fans live for: passionate, thoughtful, occasionally fiery, and always rooted in a deep love for the franchise. If you’ve watched Season 4 and have opinions, this episode is your perfect companion. Perfect For Listeners Who Enjoy: 1) Strange New Worlds 2) Deep‑dive fandom debates 3) Honest, spirited sci‑fi conversation 4) Trek analysis with heart and humor 5) Episodes where the crew brings the heat This podcast is a proud part of the Trek Geeks Podcast Network!

The one that puts humanity on trial. Hello to our listeners, both old and new! Welcome to Space Crime Continuum, the nonsensical Star Trek podcast that dares to ask the question: “Is this over yet?” That’s right, we’re back, and we’re shaking things up! Haley and I love many things in the Star Trek universe, but one thing we love more than most is Star Trek: The Next Generation. So, we’re doing something we haven’t done in decades: a full-series rewatch, from the very beginning to the very end. Every episode. Every questionable decision. Every awkward early-season uniform. We’re going all in. But why stop at just enjoying ourselves? That would be far too easy. Far too pleasant. No, we’ve decided to make things considerably more complicated by adding another thing we love: CRIME! We’re talking courts, punishment, prisons, the justice system, and all the questionable decisions that make for a good discussion. In this episode, we kick things off with a little chat about jury duty. Have either of us had the honour of serving? What do we think about it? And how long does it take before we wander wildly off-topic? (Spoiler alert: not long.) So, if you’re into lighthearted Star Trek discussions, true crime, questionable tangents, and two friends who can’t always stay on track, you’ve come to the right place. Join us as we boldly go where absolutely no conversation needs to go. Follow along! Bluesky: @vanislandsara.bsky.social X: @Vanislandsara Instagram / Threads: @VanislandCrafts Thanks for listening, and remember: in space, no one can hear you commit a crime. Probably.

Part 1 We all have a story. We're all on a journey. This week, Pastor Brian welcomes his next door neighbor and friend, Athena Wilson to the show. Her story is unbelievable, hard, and filled with close calls and a resolution that proves the power of the human spirit to overcome. You don't want to miss this riveting and powerful story about overcoming bullying, addiction and homelessness. Athena shares from her heart about what she has been through, how her mother never gave up on her, the choices she made, and how - beyond all hope - she overcame it all. It gets emotional in this episode as Athena and Brian go where no episode of the Brian Donahue Podcast has gone before - ending on a cliffhanger. This is part one of a powerful two part episode!

The Stranded Warrior Fan Film The BIG Sci‑Fi crew welcomes two beloved voices from the Battlestar Galactica fandom — “New York Pete” Peter Giakoumis and “The Tipsy Toaster” Chris Moore, hosts of Interfleet Broadcasting (IFB) and creators of the award‑winning fan film The Stranded Warrior. This lively, laughter‑filled conversation celebrates creativity, community, and the enduring power of classic sci‑fi. - What You’ll Hear in This Episode - The Story Behind IFB: Pete and Chris share how Interfleet Broadcasting began, how it grew into a fan‑favorite BSG hub, and why they love building a space where fans can gather, geek out, and keep the flame of Battlestar alive. Battlestar Galactica Fandom — Then and Now: The guests talk about their lifelong connection to the franchise, the characters and themes that shaped them, and why BSG continues to resonate with fans decades later. Inside The Stranded Warrior: Hear the behind‑the‑scenes story of their acclaimed fan film — from inspiration to production challenges to the incredible fan response. Pete and Chris discuss the passion, teamwork, and sheer determination that brought this project to life. Creative Collaboration & Community: The conversation dives into how fan creators support one another, how fandom fuels imagination, and why projects like The Stranded Warrior matter in the broader sci‑fi landscape. Plenty of Laughs and Great Energy: The BIG Sci‑Fi crew had an absolute blast with Pete and Chris — and listeners will feel that same joy, camaraderie, and shared fandom throughout the episode. Why This Episode Stands Out: This is a celebration of fan creativity at its best. Pete and Chris bring humor, heart, and deep knowledge of Battlestar Galactica, making this episode a treat for longtime fans and newcomers alike. Their story is inspiring, their passion infectious, and their love for sci‑fi unmistakable.

A Conversation Ever wonder what pastors talk about when they get together for coffee? In this episode, Brian welcomes his good friend and fellow pastor, Gary Bush Jr., to his podcast studio to talk about life and about an issue that many pastors are reconsidering and trying to help others do better. This is a conversation that will surprise and encourage you whether you're a Trekkie, a Christian, or something in between, or neither of those things! It's a conversation that brings a bit of clarity and an approach to loving your neighbor that needs to be heard in today's world. Pastor Brian also talks about season four of Strange New Worlds (now that all ten episodes are released) and offers some thoughts on his feelings concerning the past and future of Trek.
