I love the genre so much, and I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to try writing in that space (pun intended). I watch shows now and I'm like "how did they do that?" MK: I have WAY more appreciation for good sci-fi. Along the way we asked many of our guests if they had a personal definition of sci-fi and the variety of answers was very interesting to me. RB: I would definitely say I have a newfound appreciation for the genre. How has making this podcast affected your relationship with sci-fi content? Maddy Kelly has been performing stand-up comedy since she was 18 years old. It's for sure very different from the "having a light chat with a couple of people in a studio" model of podcast that I had grown accustomed to.
Adding the fact that most of our writing sessions were recorded to potentially be included in the podcast turned the pressure up a few notches. Pitching ideas and collaborating with other writers can be a pretty vulnerable and exposing experience. Mark Chavez: It was my first time being part of a docuseries. Luckily I felt really comfortable being myself around Mark and Ryan so I learned on that through the whole process. I had never interviewed anyone before, or been a part of any "fly on the wall" recording. Maddy Kelly: So many things were new about this process for me. So much of what we hear in the podcast is the unvarnished beginnings of ideas instead of just the polished end results. Ryan Beil: I suppose the vulnerability of recording the entire process. How did this experience compare to other comedy projects you've worked on? The three hosts spoke with CBC Podcasts to share more about the making of the podcast and what it taught them. Part personal journey, part how-to guide, part riff show, Let's Make A Sci-Fiaims to make listeners laugh, teach them something about the creative process, and have them relate to someone who is foolishly chasing a lifelong dream.
