That time of year has rolled around again, and earlier today, the Glasgow Worldcon opened nominations<\/a> for the Hugo Awards, the Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book, and the Astounding Award for Best New Writer. If you\u2019re eligible to nominate, I hope you’ll take my 2023 short story publications<\/a> into consideration \u2014 but I\u2019d also like you to consider my Eating the Fantastic podcast in the category of Best Fancast.<\/p>\n

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

Last year, I invited listeners to eavesdrop on 26 meals with amazing creators, as well as one of the show’s lightning-round donut episodes, something which I’d sadly been unable to pull off since 2019. (You know why.)<\/p>\n

Below are links to all 2023 episodes so you can have a taste and decide whether the podcast — which I launched in February 2016 — is your kind of ear candy. I hope you enjoy your eavesdropping!<\/p>\n
