Hugo Award Recommendations
So here's a 21st Century twist for you if you're eligible to vote for this year's Hugo Awards. No podcast has yet been nominated for a Hugo, but the award administrators changed the wording in 2009 to include "or the equivalent in other media," which makes a podcast eligible for an award. Apparently podcasts have always been eligible, but now it’s written in stone... so for your consideration, I'd like to point y'all toward the good people at StarShipSofa, not only for the excellent work they've done with my stories but for all the benchmarks they've hit with fiction, fact, interviews, and more.
There's a good article here on the subject.
As yet there is no particular category among the Hugos for a podcast, so I'd like to join in a nice little ongoing groundswell that's recommending StarShipSofa for Best Fanzine. Go nuts!

To be pedantic, it wasn't the "administrators" who changed the rules (the Hugo Award Administration Subcommittee doesn't make rules; it merely enforces them). It was the members of the World Science Fiction Society, whose annual meeting is the World Science Fiction Convention, who voted to change the rules to explicitly recognize non-print media.
