Welcome to the Intersection of Science and Fiction

Welcome to the official launch of Reality Check: The Science of Fiction. I'm your host, Heidi Campo, and I'm inviting you to join me on an exhilarating journey through space, time, science, and fiction. As a self-proclaimed sci-fi addict, I often find myself wondering about the plausibility of the concepts I see on screen. That curiosity sparked the creation of this podcast, where I'll explore the viability of these ideas with subject matter experts. Together, we'll rate each concept on a scale from 1 to 5, defining them as:

1. Pure Fiction: Concepts currently beyond our scientific understanding or technological capabilities.
2. Speculative Science: Theoretically possible ideas, but our technology or scientific knowledge isn't quite there yet.
3. Fringe Reality: Concepts on the cutting edge of current research and technology.
4. Emerging Fact: Existing scientific and technological realities, yet not fully developed or widespread.
5. Science Fact: Well-established parts of our scientific understanding or technological capabilities.

In my pilot season, I have five riveting episodes in store for you, released bi-weekly, covering everything from AI and human augmentation to genetics and memory manipulation. But here's the catch: I need pioneers to join me on this journey. Like, subscribe, rate 5 stars, share, comment – every little bit helps launch this dream project! And if you're into STEM topics, sci-fi, or simply want to show extra support, consider becoming a Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/RealityCheck631⁠. This would help me invest in better equipment, pay for some of the required podcasting services and software, and improve the show for future seasons. So, are you ready for a reality check? Stay curious, and let's discover the science of fiction together! #RealityCheck #ScienceofFiction #HeidiCampo
