Hugos There Podcast

00:00 / 51:40

This time, Seth was a guest on the Sci-Fi Christian to discuss The Sword in the Stone as part of a discussion about The Once and Future King. It’s not a typical Hugos There episode, but it totally counts!

The Sword in the Stone was awarded the Retro Hugo for Best Novel in 2014 for the year 1939.

No time codes this time. It’s all spoilers from the jump.
