Hi-Sci-Fi

HOSTS

Creator, producer, writer and host of HiSciFi is Irma Arkus. Over the years, she noticed that the idea of sitting by herself in a studio is unappealing, and potentially dangerously unfunny too. So, Irma had quite a few lovely co-hosts over the years: Andrew Yang, Jevon Ryan, Gregory Milne, and Tarek Suliman. Irma is evidently a man-eater.

BROADCASTING OF HISCIFI

HiSciFi is taped and broadcast live, every Friday at 5:00-6:00 p.m. on CJSF 90.1FM in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, HiSciFi is evaluated for syndication.

www.HiSciFi.com is the place where the show gets a second life as a podcast. HiSciFi is also distributed by Mininova.org

Currently, HiSciFi is gaining popularity, as our episodes receive approx 30,000 downloads per week, based on our hiscifi.com site, cjsf.ca, podcast sites and torrent distribution.
