  • 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.

    One minor nitpick, Tony, and something that makes me wince every time I hear you say it. "/" is a slash, or forward slash. A backslash is "\". I know I'm 100% right - I am a web systems analyst by profession. Any slash in a URL is a slash or forward slash. Please correct this so I sto... more

  • One of the best genre podcasts — period.

    I’ve been listening to Sci-Fi Talk since I met Tony at San Diego Comics Con in 2013. Great guy, superb interviewer, and very knowledge about all things genre. Add this podcast to your list — now.

  • Very interesting and informative interviews

    He always tracks down top sci fi celebrities and gets them talking about cool things.

    If there is any criticism it's that he can come across as a bit of a yes-man, just agreeing with them and possibly missing opportunities to push questions deeper.

    But really, he does a great job. Recommend!

    Tony Tellado is a first rate interviewer. He has an incredible line up of Sci-Fi stars and creators on his show. I have yet to find another Podcast that features so many stars and creators talking about their work in one on one interviews. I highly recommend this Podcast!
