  • A Must Listen For Any Sci-Fi Fan

    I've been listening to Sci-Fi Talk since 2008. Tony Tellado is one of the BEST interviewers in the businsess. Another great aspect of the podcast is Tony not only interviews television and film actors, but also professionals involved in almost every sector of film and television production, including directors, producers, showrunners, writers, cinematographers, composers, authors, makeup artists, etc. Sci-Fi Talk is always a source of fascinating insight inside the minds of top genre creatives.... more

  • Love the podcast! But / is not a backslash!!!

    I've been listening to your podcast for years, and thought I should give you a review.

    Great podcast! I do a podcast, too, called The Walking Dead Talk Through, but that's not why I thought I'd give you a review.

Marilee Talkington Of See
Q: So it tells the story of a virus has wiped out most of mankind, and you play Souter Bux. Tell us a little bit about her.
Marilee describes Souter Bux as a complex character within a world where disability is normalized; she highlights how the storytelling avoids tired stereotypes and emphasizes authentic, multi-dimensional lives for blind and low-vision individuals.
Mark Lewis Jones - The Weight of Tom Christie
Q: What was that like for you?
He describes the challenges of the arc, the intensity of the prison sequence, and how the character's boundaries and defenses interact with the other characters, revealing both rigidity and vulnerability.
Star Trek Artist Kavita Maharaj — Captures the Soul of the Final Frontier
Q: What was the process like reaching out to CBS Paramount for licensing?
She initially hesitated but decided to contact CBS with a clear portfolio; within 12 hours they responded and within a month she had a contract, which she views as a rapid, positive outcome given the licensing terrain.
Star Trek Artist Kavita Maharaj — Captures the Soul of the Final Frontier
Q: How did you know when drawing Star Trek characters was something you wanted to pursue?
She realized that early love of drawing, encouragement from teachers, and persistent practice over time led her to the Spock project as a long-term passion rather than a one-off hobby.
Z Nation's Addie - Anastasia Baranova
Q: Have you thought about life after Z Nation?
I am always thinking about life after Z Nation; I want to keep working and explore new roles, potentially in action, superhero, or varied dramas to diversify beyond the show.
