 Andrew Heaton and an army of nerds plunge deep, deep into films, books, and TV shows to ask: what's science fiction really about? What is The Twilight Zone really exploring? What are the underlying themes of Star Trek? What is the worldview of Star Wars? Also sometimes Heaton performs comedy on other planets. Ciencia Ficción

Alienating the Audience is on my regular podcast rotation, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who loves sci-fi. Funny and entertaining, I love that they dive into some familiar topics and franchises, but occasionally cover books or movies I haven’t yet explored. The best of both worlds.

For science fiction nerds

I appreciate listening to this podcast, hosted by someone who brings a refreshing new take on various topics related to science fiction, yet which can also be taken beyond the world of science fiction. Case in point, the episode “Hollywood sermonizing vs. Good storytelling”, from January 19, 2023. The title alone is a perfect encapsulation of what’s going on across a lot of genres. This podcast is great for science fiction fans as well as those who might not be into sci-fi but who are critical thinkers who appreciate a host who is one too.

A Different Take, worth a listen.
