In terms of quality content and numbers of subscribers and contributers, this podcast has got to be worthy of a Best Fanzine nomination. Mr. Scalzi, I encourage you to consider.

Personally I love the StarShipSofa, it has the greatest writers plus interviews, essays, reviews, poetry, science news and beautiful art. What more could you ask for and it is free :-)

I say yet, because it always seems to be the way that well established institutions are slow to move with the times, but it would be a bit ironic if Hugo’s did not include new media presentations. Specifically I was thinking of StarShipSofa for best fanzine. Although it has published a hard copy volume of some of the short stories it has presented over the years, it is predominantly a podcast presentation. However, the format is most decidedly that of a fanzine (possibly even semi-prozine!)

-hey tech heads – how about creating things in media that everyone has as standard hmm?

Epic I got, but couldn’t figure out what Win was short for….it still makes no sense to me but no doubt the kids get it….(sigh).

Regardless I’ve ordered it as I really like all John’s writing so far – including the sometimes maligned Androids Dream, which I thought was funny as hell.

-yes I’m old – no need to be rude about it.

If only I could get it on my Kin*** ( He ducks and covers..)

Actually I was re-reading The Ghost Brigades in hardback the other night and after putting it down (aka falling asleep), when I picked it up again it had lost my place! How quaint..
