Michael R. Mennenga: Host, Technical Director
Michael R. Mennenga’s insights into innovations in space exploration, his love of genre television, movies and literature, and his strange obsession with merkin collecting all added a unique flavor to his contributions to the on-air antics of the Slice Crew. He was also on a never-ending quest to make everyone look and sound their absolute best; pushing, pulling, tweaking, sliding, and twisting all those buttons and knobs on his mixer.

Brian Brown was shanghaied.
Samantha Roberts: News Anchor
Sam Roberts always had a passion for fantasy and science fiction, and was lured to Slice of SciFi with the simple phrase: “stop by the studio”. Fortunately, Sam loved it and has been an anchor on the show ever since. She loves reading, playing role-playing games, doing jigsaw puzzles, and watching any number of movies and TV shows. As a child, she was convinced she could be Wonder Woman and spent a great deal of time spinning furiously around in the bushes, sure that sooner or later the transformation would happen. When not spinning around in the bushes, she could be found in Search Mode, looking for another pair of cute shoes.
Meghan Zehr: Geek Commentary / Technical Engineer
A geek both by nature and nurture, Meghan enjoys a wide array of speculative fiction and media. As a good English major, overwrought critical theory particularly interests her when it comes to the genre. However, her own carefully crafted analyses usually took a back seat to the fannish squeals and gushing that came out of her mouth.
