Some photos from yesterday's launch of All These Worlds, courtesy @lizbatty and @futuriana - thanks to Nina Allan for the opening conversation. Copies still available on the @NewConPress table at @eastercon2023!
John has trauma, Alison has poetry and Liz hasn’t got Paramount+. We draft our picks for the #HugoAwards nominations in Best Dramatic Presentation: Short Form before, er, picking some more things. In picks. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/77-slightly-…
John is watching movies, Alison is making games, and Liz isn't picky. The three of us celebrate Groundhog Day by talking about the Chengdu Worldcon again, and again, and again… Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/76-does-it-m…
This week, John wants to play, Alison has met lots of authors, and Liz is a womble. We discuss @locusmag and Amazon's decisions about Kindle Publishing for Periodicals before diving into the bewildering state of the @chengduworldcon. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/75-optimus-p…
John and Alison read a poem written for the podcast by Sandra Bond this week, to tide you all over until our next full record. Thanks so much to Sandra for a great read. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/74-great-cth…
John is going to Sweden, Alison is going to Australia, and Liz isn't moving back to Europe. We discuss Smofcon, Eurocon, Mastodon, and bacon lardons. (The last one is a lie.) We also chat about the Fan Funds and do picks (which don’t rhyme). Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/73-a-magic-c…
John isn't gambling, Alison isn't reading, and Liz doesn't care. We discuss semiprozines quite a lot, mostly by accident (we might have to revisit that again sometime.) Oh, and we briefly touch on Andor, but we don’t say much. octothorpe.podbean.com/e/72-i-m-not-a…
John is on the Holodeck, Alison is in the past, and Liz is at school. We discuss what Alison got up to at Novacon before chatting about a few other bits and bobs. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/71-just-near…
Octothorpe 70 is now up! We read your lovely letters before talking about a bunch of news, including the @ClarkeAward, @WinnipegIn23, @chengduworldcon, @HWS_Projects winning World Fantasy Con 2025, and @Novacon51. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/70-oh/
What if we were all Chris Garcia? We discuss statistics from this year's @TheHugoAwards and get into the weeds with Liz, before taking you back to @chicagoworldcon and featuring a chat between John, Alison, and @johnnyeponymous. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/69-hugo-thun…
Octothorpe 68 is here! John is clever, Alison has lost her composure, and Liz is confused by WSFS. We spend a lot of time talking about @Glasgowin2024, and our gorgeous art this week is by Sara Felix. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/68-it-made-j…
John has hairspray, Alison has a tiara, and Liz has a necklace. We talk about @chicagoworldcon and Chicago a lot, and then get distracted by feelings, steampunk and lasers. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/67-straight-…
Octothorpe 66 is here! John is in the fanzine lounge, Alison is under a bison hat, and Liz is good, thank you. We chat to people in the fanzine lounge at @chicagoworldcon. (Sorry about the background noise, and normal service resumes next week.) octothorpe.podbean.com/e/66-thank-you…
John, Alison, and Liz play a game because they’re all away at @chicagoworldcon this week. Normal service will resume shortly. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/65-action-ca…
Octothorpe 64 is here! We go through our entire @TheHugoAwards ballots in 30% the time it took us to go through one category, before talking about our schedules for @chicagoworldcon and then doing some picks. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/64-best-comm…
