  • 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.
