Slice of Sci-Fi <span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span> Slice of SciFi is a podcast and website, forming part of the Farpoint Media Family, which looks into the world of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. It was the winner of the Top Rated Podcast Award at the Podcast Awards in 2005, and an inductee into the Podcast Pickle Hall of Fame. Started in early 2005 as a response to the reaction of Star Trek fans over the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, the Slice of Sci-Fi Podcast has grown to encompass a broader range of topics. Hosts Michael R. Mennenga and Evo Terra try to make their podcast both fun and informative--two characteristics they feel have not been brought together in other, similar efforts. The hosts of the show have interviewed such people as Walter Koenig, Wil Wheaton, Bruce Campbell, Dean Haglund, Chase Masterson, Peter Mayhew, Lake Bell, and Michael Stackpole. Slice of Sci-Fi is also heard each week on XM Satellite Radio's Sonic Theater channel.

He has received recognition from Writer's Digest and Forbes Publishing for his first book, Zac and the Valley of the Dragons. His next book, Mistress of the Dragon, was released in 2001. Mennenga followed that in 2002 with The Valley of the Dragons: Dragon's Fire and Wizard's Flame, which was re-released as Dragon's Fire, Wizard's Flame in 2003. He is a member of The Arizona Authors Association and Toastmasters International.
