In 2016, Eating the Fantastic brought you the Readercon Donut Spectacular<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2017, you were invited to partake of the Balticon Donut Extravaganza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, in Episode 67, it’s time to experience—the Nebula Awards Donut Jamboree!<\/p>\n

That’s right—it’s time for another lightning-round episode of Eating the Fantastic as 15 guests devour a tasty dozen—this time from Pittsburgh’s Just Good Donuts<\/a>— while recounting their favorite Nebula Awards memories.<\/p>\n

During the Nebula Awards weekend which ended yesterday, I sat near registration with a dozen donuts and a sign offering a free one to any who’d come on the show to chat about their memories of this annual event, and waited to see what would happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which is how I ended up listening as Michael Swanwick explained how his love of Isaac Asimov impelled him to walk out on guest speaker Newt Gingrich, David D. Levine remembered catching the penultimate Space Shuttle launch, Daryl Gregory recalled the compliment which caused him to get yelled at by Harlan Ellison, Barry Goldblatt revealed what cabdrivers do when they find out he’s an agent, Cat Rambo put in a pitch for SFFWA membership, Fran Wilde confessed a moment of squee which was also a moment of ooops, Steven H. Silver shared how he caused Anne McCaffrey to receive a Pern threadfall, Annalee Flower Horne told of the time John Hodgman stood up for her onstage during the awards banquet, and much, much more!<\/p>\n
