FAQWhat is Slice of Sci-Fi?

Posted by Sam on Wednesday, 2 Mar 2005

“Slice of SciFi” originally began as the voice of the SAVE ENTERPRISE campaign of Spring 2005, when loyal Star Trek fans rallied to the cause of saving a cancelled “Star Trek: Enterprise” series, and garner it a previously highly-anticipated 5th season. When that campaign fell on deaf Paramount ears, despite its success in generating fan support and unprecedented fan funding, “Slice of SciFi” continued to support the Star Trek fan base that had given it it’s starting point, but branched out into the wider arena of science fiction, fantasy and horror media: television, film, comics, and new media such as fan films, audio dramas, online animated comics and more.

The show was so popular, and garnered so much fan feedback that eventually, it was necessary to spin off the Voicemail Show, dedicated just to fan feedback, in order to keep the original show from consistently hitting running times of 90 minutes or more! Both “Slice of SciFi” and it’s Voicemail Show are fan favorites, and appeal to SF media geeks of all ages.

The funny, irreverent but always relevent discussion from show hosts Michael R. Mennenga, Summer Brooks and Brian Brown always make for lively entertainment. Interviews with today’s top stars and genre production professionals, such as Ira Steven Behr, Walter Koenig, Jim Butcher, Samuel L. Jackson, Katee Sackhoff and an array of other who’s who in show business, are always on the cutting edge and timely.

In December 2005, “Slice of SciFi” made the jump to broadcast, finding an additional home on XM Satellite Radio, Channel 163 (Sonic Theater), and opening up a whole new fan base at the same time. The program has also found a place on terrestrial FM radio stations.

The show’s website doubles as an online news magazine, with FarPoint Media’s executive
news director Samuel K. Sloan managing a team of reporters dedicated to bringing fans the latest news and developments in SF television and film, in science, technology, space exploration, and more. Sam also puts together the script for each week’s show.
