Let’s Make a Sci-Fi is the podcast about how to make science fiction stories, and it does it by literally making a science fiction series in each episode. Comedians Ryan Beil, Maddy Kelly, and Mark Chavez interview science fiction writers and fans (Neil deGrasse Tyson, Emily VanDerWerff, Rainn Wilson) who discuss their writing processes and generate ideas for plots, characters, and worlds. Let’s Make a Sci-Fi touches on the history of science fiction and its sub-genres, and explores its impact on society, so it will appeal to sci-fi nerds—but also to anyone in the process of writing or making something and struggling to get it to the finish line. In the final episode, professional actors read Ryan, Maddy, and Mark’s script, bringing it to life — for better or worse.
