Customer Reviews
Fun daily quick podcast
This is a great way to learn sci-fi trivia!
Each day is focused on a single topic that is relevant to that date. A birth date of a performer or director, a movie release day, a tv show premiere. Even some significant death or cancellation dates.
Some of these are obscure. That BBC show that ran 3 episodes and it’s only captured on audio cassette. Yup, it’s in there!
Sci-Fi Five Rocks!!
I love this show! Groovy bumper music, cool stable of hosts and great content in a bite sized package. Always learning interesting things about something I know, or being introduced to something new. I appreciate the balance between science fiction and science history. If you’re not listening to this show, you’re missing out!!
