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, and as such can be found at numerous podcast distribution sites, as well as distributed by Mininova.org, PirateBay.com and BTJunkie.org via bit-torrent.
Currently, HiSciFi is gaining popularity, as our episodes receive over 30,000 downloads per week, based on our hiscifi.com site, cjsf.ca, podcast sites and torrent distribution.
ABOUT Irma Arkus

Irma has worked as a Communications Coordinator for Seva Canada, a non-profit charity organisation that delivers eye-care to sight restoration programs in developing countries (she literally helps heal the blind, no joke.)
She occasionally contributes to local newspapers, such as 24 Hours Vancouver, a daily publication (http://www.davemcilroy.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=12) and to national NCRA services.
And she works as a Marketing & Communications Coordinator at BCRealtySolutions.ca, and Social Media Manager at WorkingCommunications.ca

ABOUT Tarek Suliman
Tarek, on the other hand, is striving for a full scientician position. He is currently researching genetics at Simon Fraser University as a graduate student in biological sciences so you’ll probably get to read a paper or two about DNA analysis of some creature (read: rainbow trout) sooner or later with his name on it. Tarek is also an avid athlete, and a movie-buff.
