Welcome to the next in the Podcast Showcase series, where we share podcasts with you in the words of the podcasters themselves. This time, we talk to Sci-Fi Talk.
Sum up your podcast in three sentences
How Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror and Comics, help us explore our humanity.
Who is your ideal listener? Who loves your show?
Any age group and every sex or sexual orientation.
What made you start this podcast?
Curiosity. I wanted to learn how books, movies and television are created and the process of acting, writing, producing these projects.
I am fascinated by the creative process. Why these projects turn out they way they do. How they get to make the decisions that they make in the creative process.
If their personality comes through, then I have something special.
What have you learned about your subject thanks to this podcast?
That there are many ways to create these projects. There is no one true way. The creative process takes many forms and directions.
I am proud to have talked to people who are no longer with us. I realize that I have to keep learning and getting better. If I think I am there and at my peak of my skills, that’s a trap to avoid.
What has your experience of podcasting been? What do you love / hate about the process?
The main difference has been technology. There are more resources now than when I started in 2005. I love talking to people and finding out a liitle bit of what they are like and how they create.
I hate editing but love when the finished product comes together.
If someone wants to start listening to your podcast, which episode would you recommend they start with? Why?
Any current one to get a taste of what my episodes sound like. I strive to make each one better and that’s the challenge.
Which other podcasts do you love listening to?
Most sci-fi podcasts, long-form stories and other interview podcasts.
