Welcome to the mid-week installment of Slice of SciFi! On today's show, we talk to Salli Richardson-Whitfield. You probably know her best from her role as Dr. Allison Blake on SyFy's Eureka. Salli is also a guest at the upcoming Phoenix Comicon, so if you're in the area why don't you stop by and say hello! And you can also catch some of the Slice crew there as well.

A bit of geeky trivia not many people outside of Japan know about, Japan Railways (JR) uses a clip from the original theme song of AstroBoy (Tetsuwan Atomu in Japanese) at the train station nearest to where the anime was created. You can hear the melody on YouTube below, as well as see the JR Yamanote line train coming and going.

That's why Japanese people are so cool. In the US they would have been sued like crazy or forced to pay millions in royalties.
