2025 Hugo-nominated Novellas panel

I’m joined for a discussion of the 2025 Hugo nominees for Best Novella by a few of my best Internet Friends. Guests include: Video will be posted hopefully tomorrow. These episodes get very little editing, so if it sounds a bit rougher than normal, that’s to be expected, but the discussion was terrific, so I … Continue reading “2025 Hugo-nominated Novellas panel”

2025 Hugo-nominated Novels Panel

I’m joined for a discussion of the 2025 Hugo nominees for Best Novel by a few returning guests, and a couple of new people. Guests include: No video for this episode.

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson, with guest Leah Borden

This is a Seth’s Picks episode, the very highly regarded, though not much honored at the time Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. It’s like Ready Player One, but without all the references or terrible writing. (It’s not really like RPO at all, and that’s a very good thing.) This is one of my shorter episodes, … Continue reading “Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson, with guest Leah Borden”

3x Hugo Finalist!

While I was recording with my TMTYR co-hosts, I realized I never recorded a reaction to my 2025 Hugo nomination, so I just sprang it on them (they were already in the know about the nomination because I can’t keep a secret from them). Thanks so much to everyone who nominated this podcast!
