The Social Sci-Fi Podcast1970's Science FictionHello again, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-Fi. And now for something completely different. Maybe not COMPLETELY different, but different enough I felt I should warn you. This time around we looked at science fiction in the 1970's. It all started with a conversation with a friend at work about the science fiction we grew up on. One of those ADHD conversations that starts with Star Trek, and ends up with Planet of the Apes, and "you know what other Science Fiction movie Charlton Hesston is in? Soylent Green." She couldn't believe I...
2021-02-261h 27The Social Sci-Fi PodcastRevolution of the DaleksHello again, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-Fi. Or should I say welcome back? Before we get started, I would like to apologize for having so little content in 2020. It was a really rough year for everyone. Eventually, we will get through this pandemic and find a new normal. For now, it means recording through Zencastr and not around the dining room table. It means a lot to me to be able to get a podcast up in January and the goal is to have one up each month. First, I'm going to...

2020-11-162h 20The Social Sci-Fi PodcastGood Omens, Pt. 2Hello again, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-Fi. Before we get started, I would like to apologize for how late this episode is coming to you and assure you that it was recorded before official quarantine began. It has been a rough couple of months. While I would rather be quarantined in the Gee Cave consuming media and creating content, I have still had to go to work. It's been rough on my mental health and as much as I love editing this podcastn I couldn't do it. When you have four tracks...
2020-05-1100 minThe Social Sci-Fi PodcastGood Omens, Pt. 1Hello again, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-Fi. You're about to listen to part one of a special two part episode. We watched and discussed the first three episodes of the Amazon Original miniseries Good Omens. We also discussed the book it was based on, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. Written by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett and published in 1990. We talked about a little of the controversy surrounding the release on Amazon Prime, some of the easter eggs in the show to honor the late Terry Pratchett , a...
2020-03-1300 minThe Social Sci-Fi PodcastCartoons with The Shake UpsHello, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-Fi. This month, I invited The Shake Ups, a local band to the Geek Cave to watch and talk about cartoons. When I say local, I mean to Indianapolis, but they run all over the Midwest and perform catchy songs in costumes from their favorite cartoons. The Head Geek has had them on the Indiana Geeking Podcast a few times, and you are already familiar with Luisanna from year one of this podcast. Now, I know it wasn't Saturday morning, it was Sunday afternoon, but there was still cereal...
2020-02-1400 minThe Social Sci-Fi PodcastLooking AheadHello again, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-Fi. This month we have a short episode, and it may be a little odd. This is what happens when plans fall through and instead of a full podcast, you get the ramblings from Lizz's brain. What I have learned from this is I need other people to talk to. A script is a good idea, but hard for me to get right and when I ad-lib it gets weird. Anyway, about this episode. There is a little bit about year one, if you haven't listened go check...
2020-01-1000 minThe Social Sci-Fi PodcastResolutionHello again, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-Fi.

Finally, at the end of this podcast are the full interviews I used as teasers in part one...
2019-11-2900 minThe Social Sci-Fi PodcastVoltCon Part 1 - Happy Birthday Voltron!Hello again, and welcome to another episode of Social Sci-fi. For this special episode, I'm not talking about a show or a movie. Instead, I'm talking about a little convention I was able to help out with this past October, called VoltCon. As I was there, I decided to break out the podcast equipment and interview guests, vendors, and attendees. I was having such a great time, and I was hearing all kinds of wonderful feedback, so I wanted to talk to people about the con. Then, when the show was over and the dust settled a bit, I i...

This month, Lizz brings together Kendra and Rachel to talk about episode five of the most recent season of Doctor Who, "The Tsuranga Conundrum". This episode was your basic "base under siege" episode, as Rachel put it, but there was still some things the panel took a look at, and focused on. Since we didn't have a huge panel this week, and because this was more like one of your typical Doctor Who episodes, this month's podcast isn't really long, clocking...
