The Skiffy and Fanty Show 5: Zombies, Twilight, and a Dash of Crazy

Episode #5 is a little shorter than the last few, but that’s because we have a special main event, which you’ll have to discover by listening (plus, the tension between Adam and Shaun gets bigger and better!).

The question of the week is:  Do you think science fiction must have accurate science to be called science fiction?  Or do you think that the science must be integral to the plot/story for something to be called science fiction?  Feel free to email your answers to skiffyandfanty [at] gmail [dot] com or send us a voicemail at 206-203-1686!  You can also leave a comment here or follow us on twitter.

Note:  The first attempt to record this episode ended in disaster due to some unusual technological glitch.  We’ve since re-recorded the news and ending bits.  Hopefully it turned out okay!

Here’s the episode:
