New Episode! This time I discuss the 2025 Locus Award-winning novel The Man Who Saw Seconds, by Andrew Boldizar with a couple of my friends from the Nebulugo Book Club Discord, Sophia and JW.

Excellent episode as usual! And I love the plot recaps because there are a lot of these books that have faded in my memory.

Now that the baseball season is over (congrats to the Dodgers), I can now root whole heartedly for the team I know and commonly refer to as the Football Mariners.

Go Seahawks! Also the throwback uniforms are the absolute best.

So you're a Hugo reader. You've listened to all my episodes and @hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social. You've kept up with @hugonauts.bsky.social and now you're out of podcasts.

Well, you're in luck! @klaxoncomms.com is bringing you Hugo History, a new monthly podcast! And it's terrific, so check it out!

New Episode! Glory Road, by Robert A. Heinlein (1964 Hugo Nominee), with guest James Hedrick from the Something About Dragons Podcast/Blog

Is it Fantasy? Is it Science Fiction? Is it tons of fun? Is it disturbingly regressive in parts? All of the above!

While rehearsing in my friends' garage, I felt silently judged by the robot head that was watching us. (No idea what it actually was, so I'm choosing to believe it was a robot.)

New Take Me To Your Reader episode! (Yes, two in a month!) We saw the new Frankenstein adaptation in theaters and we recommend you do the same. It's really, really good!

I'm kind of behind the Blue Jays for the World Series this year (mostly because they eliminated my favorite team), but Good Lord if I have to hear one more whiny Jays fan (or manager) talk about how Springer got booed when he got hit by a pitch, I'm buying some Dodgers gear. It didn't happen.

I'm convinced "hot honey" is just pumpkin spice for men who make fun of people liking pumpkin spice.

New Episode! (Seth's Picks) Lightning, by Dean Koontz, with Megan Cutter (@mlcutter.bsky.social) and Colin Kuskie (@colink.bsky.social).

It was fun talking about our first Koontz and revisiting an old favorite.
