Alienating the Audience

Andrew Heaton

Andrew Heaton and an army of nerds plunge deep, deep into films, books, and TV shows to ask: what's science fiction really about? What is The Twilight Zone really exploring? What are the underlying themes of Star Trek? What is the worldview of Star Wars? Also sometimes Heaton performs comedy on other planets.

  • Best sci-fi podcast this side of Vulcan

    Best sci-fi podcast where the host is speaking from a horse. Slightly disappointed with how few lines the horse has though.

  • The longest hiatus of my life...

    I was afraid this podcast had been canceled as Andrew focused on the political orphanage. I had all but given up hope, and then low and behold one day, 8 months later, I had a new episode in my que and I couldn't contain my excitement! Andrew and crew have brought hours and hours of great scifi content and discussion, and has caused me to expand my horizons about different authors, movies, etc. Can't wait for the new episode each week! Couldn't recommend highly enough!

    On a side note, I'd love ... more

  • A Different Take, worth a listen.

    I appreciate listening to this podcast, hosted by someone who brings a refreshing new take on various topics related to science fiction, yet which can also be taken beyond the world of science fiction. Case in point, the episode “Hollywood sermonizing vs. Good storytelling”, from January 19, 2023. The title alone is a perfect encapsulation of what’s going on across a lot of genres. This podcast is great for science fiction fans as well as those who might not be into sci-fi but who are critical ... more
