- Even great for a hater
I am a certified sci-fi hater that is doomed to be surrounded by a bunch of dorks for friends who talk non-stop about it. Luckily for me this podcast is not only an excellent source of information on some key works in the genre but the hosts are laugh out loud funny. Love it!

United States2 years ago - I'm obssessed
I am a woman possessed! I spend about 80% of my time talking about Hugo Girl, and the other 20% of the time praying for someone else to bring them up so I can talk about them more! I've organized a book club about sci fi and fantasy and a friend recommended the podcast to us. It's been so much fun to listen to while reading the stories. Love from Brazil

Brazil2 years ago - The ladies of Hugo Girl! are delightful.
I found this now Hugo-award-winning podcast through the Hugo’s There podcast (which is also great) some years ago, and have been a fan since. Such a different approach to reviewing a book. Even for books I haven’t or won’t read, I always enjoy hearing their lively discussions.
Apple Podcasts5Joe HerbersUnited States2 years ago - Fun Booky Time!
