History

InnerSpace began as HypaSpace in 2002. In 2008, it became The Circuit and brought Ajay Fry on to host. In 2009, re-titled InnerSpace, Teddy Wilson joined as co-host.[2] Two years later, Cynthia Loyst joined the team, before leaving to join The Social. Morgan Hoffman joined the show shortly thereafter.

Prior to 2007, Space aired a daily news segment called SpaceNews. Videographer Natasha Eloi looked at "what's new" in space and the sciences. SpaceNews Monthly was a best-of show based on these interstitials. Both programs finished their runs at the end of September and October 2005, respectively. Natasha Eloi joined InnerSpace as host and field reporter covering a variety of events happening in the wide world of sci fi entertainment. Natasha also hosted and produced a series of segments seen on InnerSpace focused on toy collectibles and high end prop replicas. "It Came From The Basement With Natasha Eloi" showcased toy collections from fans and celebrities which aired from 2005-2010.
