Oh my, science-fiction fans! There's a lot of great SyFy Radio coming up that you don't want to miss, including a visit from Star Trek legend George Takei as well as "Bubba Ho-Tep's" Chuck Williams.
The schedule for the next 10 episodes of SyFy Radio were released Wednesday, and it all kicks off with an appearance by "The House Between" creator John Kenneth Muir July 16 beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
Muir will talk about his popular online series, which is getting set to premiere its third season, as well as some of his more than 20 books he has written on the fandom. It's a show you don't want to miss.
Then on July 23, Mr. Sulu joins Michael Hinman and SyFy Radio to talk about life as an icon, his role on "Heroes" and his upcoming nuptials with longtime partner Brad Altman. Takei has always been a fan-favorite, because he seems to always enjoy talking to fans, and that night's SyFy Radio will be one to remember.
With a San Diego Comic-Con hangover likely plaguing our valiant host by the end of the month, SyFy Radio will air its first clip show of some of our past great guests known as the Greatest Hits, Vol. 1. Hear some of the best moments of SyFy Radio so far without having to back and download all the other shows.
On Aug. 6, new episodes of SyFy Radio return with a very special guest, Jane Badler, who played Diane in the popular 1980s miniseries "V." So what has Badler been up to since then? We'll find out in this show that begins at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
The Aug. 13 show will be a special one for long-time fans of Airlock Alpha as the site will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Airlock Alpha first opened on the Web Aug. 13, 1998, and has been providing thousands of science-fiction stories ever since.
Join many of Airlock Alpha's staff members -- old and new -- as they talk about their experiences on the site, as well as a visit from some special guests. One of them is Ian Cullen, the Webmaster of Sci-Fi Pulse, who was one of SyFy's first-ever visitors.
We go back to normal guests on Aug. 20 with Chuck Williams of "Bubba Ho-Tep" and just about any other real cool genre movie that has been made. Get the low-down on what makes Chuck Williams, well, Chuck Williams and don't miss this interview which will be a sure entertainment treat.
On Aug. 27, Patrick Lee, the editor-in-chief of SciFi Channel's news site, SciFi Wire stops by to talk about science-fiction news, and why SciFi Wire is so darn cool.
Lee will be followed on Sept. 3 with another clip show, "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2," as host Michael Hinman takes a much-deserved vacation over the Labor Day weekend.
That's a lot of shows, isn't it? But that's not all.
Two weekend shows are scheduled for the next couple of weeks including a first show live from Vulkon Orlando, which will include guests such as Jonathan Frakes from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and Nana Visitor from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." That show will air Saturday, July 19 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
