How has Science Fiction gone from the genre no one took seriously to the subject of the British Film Institute's most ambitious season of films and events? Geek Syndicate podcasters - David Monteith and Barry Nugent - take a road trip around the UK to experience the stand-out events of the BFI's film season 'Days of Fear and Wonder', giving us their reactions and opinions.
Science Fiction wouldn't be the phenomenon it is without its fans. From Star Wars weddings to home-made Cybermen costumes and the joy of convention-going, a range of British fans reveal how Science Fiction has changed their lives in surprising and even moving ways. Introduced by podcast maestros The Geek Syndicate.
