141. Final Hugo Thoughts + the Hugh Howey Fiasco w/ Justin Landon and Jonathan McCalmont

13 Apr

Awards, angry men, and the Internet, oh my!  And our final discussion of the Hugos, featuring Justin Landon (who started it all) and Jonathan McCalmont (who offers his insight into the whole situation), has arrived.  We talk Hugo history, the fan categories, the culture of the Hugos and more.  Plus, we offer our thoughts on Hugh Howey’s controversial comments (and behavior) and the cultural responses found in the comments.  In other words:  this week is one heck of a monster…

We hope you enjoy the episode!

The Hugo Award: Nominate Us!

7 Jan

We’re led to believe that nominations are open for the 2013 Hugo Awards.  That means we’re willing to sell our bodies to earn your nomination.  Of course, by “bodies” we mean “voices,” and by “earn” we mean “you’ll give it to us because you like us.”

So if you’ve enjoyed The Skiffy and Fanty Show, please nominate us for Best Fancast.

Additionally, some of our hosts are eligible too:

  1. Shaun has a short story published in Stupefying Stories 1.11 that is eligible for nomination.  It’s called “In the Shadows of the Empire of Coal.”  Go read it.
  2. Adam has a short story published in Beneath Ceaseless Skies called “The Magic of Dark and Hollow Places.”  Read it too!

Thanks for listening and your support.  Season 4 begins…soon!
