  • Excellent book discussion podcast

    This was the first Hugo-related podcast I found, and I’ve been a supporter ever since. Seth does a great job having a variety of guests on to discuss books new and old. Seth is such a thoughtful guy that I enjoy listening even for books I haven’t/won’t read.

    Even more impressive is how he’s brought together folks from other podcasts for group discussions of award nominees and such. Through this podcast, I’ve found several other great ones to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Annihilation, by Jeff Vandermeer, with Mythius from the Nebulugo Discord
Q: How is the book structured, and what can you tell me about the narrative style?
It's written as a first-person narrative from the biologist's viewpoint, and you never learn anybody's names, which adds to the story's mystery.
Annihilation, by Jeff Vandermeer, with Mythius from the Nebulugo Discord
Q: What is your history with Annihilation? What drew you to this one?
I love the book; it was the first book I read cover to cover in one day, and I was drawn in by the mystery and ambiance of the story.
