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. Ciencia Ficción

    This is How the World Ends: Apocalypse in Science Fiction
    Nov 4 2025

    Science fiction tackles the end of the world again and again, sometimes hopefully and sometimes utterly devoid of it. Josh Jennings joins in this expensive episode to discuss the many, many fates of mankind which come to a close across the worlds of science fiction.

  • "Scream" meets "The Truman Show": The Cabin in the Woods

    "Scream" meets "The Truman Show": The Cabin in the Woods
    Oct 14 2025

    In the film "Cabin in the Woods" the grizzly deaths of several archetypical characters are stage-managed by office workers in order to quench the bloodlust of ancient, pagan gods. The film is simultaneously a comedy and a horror, and an excellent romp.

    Henrique Couto, host of the Weekly Spooky podcast, joins to discuss the film, as well as the appeal of horror, and why that genre in particular excels at meta narratives.

    Let's Argue About the Prime Directive
    Sep 15 2025

    The Prime Directive orders Starfleet officers to refrain from interfering in pre-warprdrive civilizations. It is a doctrine of cultural non-interference... But is it actually a good idea?

    Scottish Scifi twins Dickie and Stone Lynch return to argue with Heaton about it.

Alienating the Audience is on my regular podcast rotation, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who loves sci-fi. Funny and entertaining, I love that they dive into some familiar topics and franchises, but occasionally cover books or movies I haven’t yet explored. The best of both worlds.

For science fiction nerds

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 thinkers who appreciate a host who is one too.

A Different Take, worth a listen.
