This podcast will go where few sci-fi fans have gone before! OK, not really, but we will have fun discussing and interacting with our favorite shows and films from all over the sci-fi universe. We love Trek the most, but our fandom is much deeper and so we’ll dive into all sorts of shows and films. Join our panel of sci-fi fans as we gather from all over North America as we share our opinions and thoughts on all things sci-fi.
Our mission is to entertain and have fun. If you love sci-fi, then this is the perfect station for you to dock at. You’ll always have friends on the BIG Sci-fi Podcast!
The Trekkies

Brian Donahue is a pioneering pastor within EFC-ER (Evangelical Friends Church – Eastern Region). He started and is currently leading the denomination’s first network of house churches. Brian is also a musician, songwriter, and recording artist. He is a lifelong Star Trek fan and didn’t realize how much of a nerd he was until he started podcasting about it with the crew of The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast! He lives in Canton, Ohio with his wife, two kids, their golden-doodle, and six chickens.
Cristian Fox is a mediator and conflict resolution specialist by day, as inspired by Captain Picard, and a Star Trek and sci-fi podcaster by night. He talks about Trek and food more than he probably should, but that’s part of his charm. Or at least he hopes so. In addition to The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast, Cris also is the host of the podcast, “Yelling About Star Trek.”
