Hugos There Podcast

Since the Hugo Nomination window opens soon for the 2025 Hugo Awards at Seattle Worldcon 2025, I thought I'd put together an eligibility post! It's also a good place to get a sense to what a full year of my podcasting looks like.

Happy 2025! This time I take a look at CS Lewis's Space Trilogy, all three books of which were nominated for Retro Hugos. I'm joined by guest Evan Bradtke for a discussion in some detail of all three books.

Have you read these? I'm especially curious if any non-Christians found them worth reading.

Like a nearly silent sub, surfacing to launch a podcast at you, it's the Take Me To Your Reader takeover of the USS Blueback at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)

Under discussion is The Hunt for Red October, by Tom Clancy, and we're joined by Tim M from OMSI as well as Peter and Tim Kuskie. (The book ends on December 19, so this was the perfect day to post it, at least in the US. Sorry, Michael.)

Also, Merry Christmas, because this is clearly a Christmas movie and book.

This time we supported the local arts scene (Lakewood Center for the Arts) and got to talk to the director/adapter of this version of R.U.R., Matthew B. Zrebski. It's great to get a view into the mind of a creative person like Matt. Be sure to catch the play if you're a local!
