What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I subscribed to The Babylon Podcast, Slice of SciFi, and Writers, After Dark recently after a great friend mentioned them to me. Wow, did I miss out, but I am super grateful to Summer and the supporters of Slice of SciFi for making the back catalog available! Summer and collaborators have produced a huge catalog of awesome author, cast, staff, and other interviews, along with their insightful commentary, on a vast variety of subjects. Babylon 5 fans are very well served, of course, but I am blown away by Summer’s explorations with her podcast collaborators and guests in other shows, books, and authors! Highly recommend! Check out the back catalog of many, many hours of some of the best interviews I have heard!

Jeffrey Marraccini · Mar 2024

Slice Of Sci-Fi has enjoyed incredible longevity due to the dedication and passion of Summer Brooks and her team. From in-depth interviews with fascinating creators to informative behind-the-scenes coverage, Slice Of Sci-Fi should be on the playlist of any fan of speculative genres.

Terez · Oct 2019

Summer continues to be entertaining & informative as well as arrange fascinating people to interview. Many geeky topics are discussed but if for example, you’ve ever wondered how an indie & or horror convention was set up or how films get made on a budget this is a podcast for you. Conventions (& sci fi charities) of all kinds are reviewed, discussed & geeked over. Spock 🖖🏻, Freddie & Ivanova I’m sure would approve!

Focused mainly on media sci-fi (movies and Tv as opposed to books) this is an enjoyable frequent show that includes commentary an interviews. I pick whether I will listen based on the subject simply because I no longer have the time to listen to every episode. I enjoy the team that's been put together and I like the call-in show as well. Full of characters.

Spoon Slayer · Nov 2013

I used to love this podcast. However, rather than the hosts talking with each other and the listeners, and reading news stories; it's now filled with long, boring third-party promotional clips. To make it even worse, they're usually VIDEO clips in an AUDIO podcast! I now find myself fast-forwarding through episodes, or, lately, just not bothering. Too bad, this used to be one of my favorite podcasts.

winterwonder · Sep 2013

I used to listen to Slice of Scifi religiously. It was a good show, with a questionable Voicemail show that I tolorated to an extent. Heck, I even complimented them on the format changes how getting shows 3 days a week was a good move but it was the same show. Then something happened and it seemed like the hosts took the changes too far. Brian Brown was excused with no reason (I had to tweet the feed to find out why and I was glad they responded) given, and the worst thing was the show started going almost every day. I'm sorry but this isn't a show that needs to be every day. One of the nice things about being twice a week was it was the right enough dose of the wittiness and banter without being overkill. I started actually getting tired of this show and unsubscribed, and I didn't think that would ever happen. It's one thing to change the format of the show, but what really got me was not giving a reason on the air for Brian's departure, when he's been there longer than anyone there other than Michael.
