\nI’m not a big follower of podcasts, but it’s been a pleasure to follow the nominated ones this past week. The Podcast category is fairly new to the Hugo Awards<\/a> but at least judging from this year’s candidates the average quality is high. The differences between the various podcasts are small and a win for any of at least the first four listed would make me happy.\n<\/p>\n

\nBelow are the candidates in the order I’ll vote for them<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Writer and the Critic<\/a> – Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond: insightful, reviews books I actually read.<\/li>\n
  2. The Skiffy and Fanty Show<\/a> – Shaun Duke, Jen Zink, Julia Rios, Paul Weimer, David Annandale, Mike Underwood, and Stina Leicht: nice chemistry, great subjects<\/li>\n
  3. Galactic Suburbia Podcast<\/a> – Alisa Krasnostein, Alexandra Pierce, Tansy Rayner Roberts (Presenters) and Andrew Finch (Producer): interesting, broad ranging.<\/li>\n
  4. The Coode Street Podcast<\/a> – Jonathan Strahan and Gary K. Wolfe: Jonathan and Gary are amiable, chatty and knowledgeable about science fiction<\/li>\n
  5. Verity!<\/a> – Deborah Stanish, Erika Ensign, Katrina Griffiths, L.M. Myles, Lynne M. Thomas, and Tansy Rayner Roberts: Doctor Who is not my thing, but what this podcast does, it does well.<\/li>\n
  6. Tea and Jeopardy<\/a> – Emma Newman and Peter Newman: A decent steampunk setup, but not for me.<\/li>\n
  7. SF Signal Podcast<\/a> Patrick Hester: the least interesting of the bunch. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nOne thing I noticed and liked is how many women were involved in this category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
