Episodes
This week the crew covers everything from beach vacations and superhero movies to fascinating new discoveries about the human brain and the future of artificial intelligence. Devon reports back from a family-filled Mississippi beach trip, Steven shares his thoughts on Supergirl, Ben highlights listener feedback and celebrates a birthday, and the science discussion dives into how anesthetized brains may be d...
This week, Steven is away, leaving Ben and Devon to hold down the fort. That means plenty of movie reviews, travel plans, museum science, unexpected tsunami discoveries, and, naturally, a healthy dose of Star Trek discussion.
Real Life
Devon is getting ready for a family vacation to Long Beach, Mississippi, where a whole group of friends will be joining in on the fun. Their last trip didn't exactly provide ideal beach weat...
This week's episode is a celebration of birthdays, geeky gifts, local AI experimentation, and some genuinely fascinating science. We dive into everything from Pride Month festivities and House of the Dragon's return to California's new law against obnoxiously loud streaming ads, before wrapping up with a beautiful cosmic mystery finally solved by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Real Life
This week we talk Father's Day, lightsaber obsessions, swimming pools, Gravity Falls, cyberpunk light bulbs, Spider-Man, Star Trek, and the sci-fi shows and movies our families can't stop watching.
Real Life
Father's Day was in the air this week, and Devon assumes his son was probably excited about it, though kids have a funny way of keeping those things myster...
This week it's just Steven and Devon holding down the fort while Ben is away, which means the conversation somehow manages to jump from guitar maintenance to Star Wars collectibles to post-apocalyptic murder mysteries without missing a beat.
Real Life
Devon spent part of the week giving some attention to an old Kelly-style guitar that had been fighting him for years. After ...
This week was a little lighter on the host count, as Devon was trapped in the endless gravitational pull of legal work, but Ben and Steven still managed to cover everything from adopted kittens to the future of humanity in space.
Real Life
Ben started things off with an apology for being a little checked out during the last episode. He was physically present, but mentally running on fumes. Fortunately, life is looking up. ...
Welcome back to Science Faction, where this week we cover everything from Disney trips and dying handheld consoles to exploding rockets, prestige television, and one of the most unsettling science fiction stories ever written.
Steven is preparing for an upcoming Disney adventure and is especially excited to introduce his nephew to Galaxy's Edge. The kid's current obsessions are droi...
This week on the podcast, we dive into a galaxy far, far away, a dangerously beautiful state park, the surprising success of four-day work weeks, and why people are wildly confused about the environmental impact of the food they eat. Then we wrap things up in the Book Club with a poetic AI encounter that left us intrigued, confused, and maybe slightly emotionally mugged in a dark alley behind a fus...
This week the crew deals with sick kids, travel chaos, and kitten catastrophes before diving into ancient supervolcanoes, bizarre retro coding experiments, and a deeply unsettling sci-fi moral dilemma inspired by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Another week, another episode where we somehow go from broccoli discourse to self-driving cars to limb regeneration technology and then cap it all off with rogue timestreams on a college campus. Just a normal day for The Science Faction Podcast.
Real Life
Ben opens the show with an important culinary clarification: broccoli is the green one. Not the other g...
The latest episode of The Science Faction spirals from Star Wars spoilers and obsolete gaming hardware to AI-powered paper interfaces, billionaire airline schemes, and a surprisingly heartfelt sci-fi short story discussion. Also: Devon's mom makes a guest appearance.

This week's episode has a little bit of everything—local politics, a suspicious number of Star Trek–named kittens, some genuinely cool green tech, and a short story that hits you with an existential haymaker.

This week's episode drifts from real-life chaos into full-on simulation theory territory—because apparently that's just how things go now.
Real Life
Ben's week kicks off with a perfect storm: his mom's in town, the power steering pump dies, and suddenly ...
Special Note:
This episode fought us. Hard.
There was some extreme editing required, and yeah—you might notice a slight dip in quality. We hear it too. But we're owning it, learning from it, and making sure it doesn't happen again. Appreciate you...
This week's episode kicks off exactly how you'd expect: a mix of chaos, parenting wins (and losses), and just enough sci-fi to keep things on-brand.
Real Life
Devon's been deep in the thick of family life—birthday parties, Easter egg hunts, and a firm stance on "No Kings in Texas," which is eit...
This week we bounce from toy-filled offices and pirate obsessions into brain-powered computers and philosophical robot chaos—before wrapping things up with a very French film discussion and next week's Book Club pick.
Real Life
Devon kicks things off by giving some Texans a tour of his office&...
This week we bounce from the eternal debate over pie superiority (and some truly questionable anti-pie opinions) into sci-fi revivals, strange travel stories, and the art of a good ending—before closing things out with a genuinely unsettling short story that may or may not leave you side-eyeing your bathroom forever.
Real Life
This week's episode begins the way many of our weeks began: confused, slightly annoyed, and one hour short on sleep thanks to the time change. Ben kicks things off by voicing what everyone is feeling — daylight saving time is rough. Losing an hour never gets easier, and the collective fog hangs over the whole episode like a mild but persistent headache.
Devo...
This week we bounce from weddings with questionable video evidence to universal vaccines, rogue dubstep artists named after shingles shots, and a time-loop story that left us… conflicted.
Let's get into it.
Real Life
Ben officiated a wedding. It w...
