SciFi Diner Classic Ep. 21Our interview with Torri Higginson(TekWar and Stargate: Atlantis)In our twenty-first episode of the SciFi Diner Classic, we interview actor interview Torri Higginson (TekWar and Stargate: Atlantis). Since we do a news and interview show, it goes without saying that the news portion of our episodes often date themselves fast. And while the interviews with the people that make Science Fiction happen remain relevant and in our opinion important, most listeners will not listen back 100 episodes and wade through old news just to get to the interview. So what the SciFi Diner Classic aims to do is to share these interviews with you. If you have been with us from the beginning, then bear with us as we introduce some of our newer listeners to voices from the past. We're bringing you just the interview and nothing else.
