Road to the Hugo Awards: Selected Fancasts, part 2 – The “Professionals”
Continuing to go through the Best Fancast Hugo Award eligibility list on this Google Spreadsheet, there’s something I noticed which I thought was interesting: For a category called “Best Fancast,” there are an awful lot of “professionals” on it. This is not to say that someone who gets paid to write and/or edit and/or create […]

Road to the Hugo Awards: Selected Fancasts, part 1
Finding the time to listen to hour-long episodes of podcasts which are eligible for the 2016 Hugo Awards wasn’t easy for me, but that’s what today’s article is about. The eligibility requirements state that the podcast must be a “non-professional” production—that is, no other company paid the podcaster(s) to make it—and at least one episode […]

Geekly Speaking About… Cameras, Cosplayers, and Consent
Even though it’s been a long time since I went to an anime convention, I remember how exciting and how much fun they are to attend. I also remember how much drama can surround an anime convention, especially when it comes to cosplayers and the people who like to take pictures of them. The topic […]

Geekly Speaking About… “The Commander Shepard Challenge”
If you’ve been listening to our “Geekly Speaking About…” podcasts, you’ve probably heard co-editor Jillian Pullara and me talking about Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect series of games from Bioware.

Comic Non-Sans: Webfiction and Web Serials
Earlier this summer I was a last-minute addition to the live Sunday morning Webcomic Beacon podcast.
