Since January 2013, Mike Gillis and Casey Doran have produced the Radio vs. the Martians! podcast. Our goal is gather our funniest, smartest friends once a month and get them to talk about science fiction, video games, horror, comic books, movies, and everything in between.

We like to pitch our show as "the McLaughlin Group for nerds!"

In the five years since we started the show, we've dissected topics like Superman, Steven Spielberg, Akira, George Lucas, Zombies, Twin Peaks, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hiyao Miyazaki, James Bond, Dungeons & Dragons, Watchmen, and popular culture that is "so bad they're good."

Our panels aren't made up of a monotone wall of super-fans. Each episode, we try to include at least one non-fan or an anti-fan or an outside voice to keep things interesting.

We also produce the bimonthly Podcasta la Vista, Baby! spin-off podcast, a tribute to the cinematic works of thespian and statesman Arnold Schwarzenegger. We'll be joined by a friend to talk about each of his movies and revel in the catch phrases, the explosions and, yes... the absurd macho bullshit.

With Radio vs. the Martians!, we aim to create a show that is humorous and thought provoking, but accessible to people who've never looked at the topic before.

We would like to produce this show professionally, as we both currently work full-time jobs. Your support would be a supplement to our individual incomes, with the eventual hope that this show would become our day job.

Your support will also help us continue to produce our program, host our episodes, pay for the graphic art on our site, attend local conventions, and get our show in more ears!
