John has trauma, Alison has poetry and Liz hasn’t got Paramount . We draft our picks for the #HugoAwards nominations in Best Dramatic Presentation: Short Form before, er, picking some more things. In picks. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/77-…

John is watching movies, Alison is making games, and Liz isn't picky. The three of us celebrate Groundhog Day by talking about the Chengdu Worldcon again, and again, and again… Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/76-…

This week, John wants to play, Alison has met lots of authors, and Liz is a womble. We discuss @locusmag and Amazon's decisions about Kindle Publishing for Periodicals before diving into the bewildering state of the @chengduworldcon. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/75-…

John and Alison read a poem written for the podcast by Sandra Bond this week, to tide you all over until our next full record. Thanks so much to Sandra for a great read. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/74-…

John is going to Sweden, Alison is going to Australia, and Liz isn't moving back to Europe. We discuss Smofcon, Eurocon, Mastodon, and bacon lardons. (The last one is a lie.) We also chat about the Fan Funds and do picks (which don’t rhyme).

John isn't gambling, Alison isn't reading, and Liz doesn't care. We discuss semiprozines quite a lot, mostly by accident (we might have to revisit that again sometime.) Oh, and we briefly touch on Andor, but we don’t say much. octothorpe.podbean.com/e/72-…

What if we were all Chris Garcia? We discuss statistics from this year's @TheHugoAwards and get into the weeds with Liz, before taking you back to @chicagoworldcon and featuring a chat between John, Alison, and @johnnyeponymous.

Octothorpe 68 is here! John is clever, Alison has lost her composure, and Liz is confused by WSFS. We spend a lot of time talking about @Glasgowin2024, and our gorgeous art this week is by Sara Felix.

John has hairspray, Alison has a tiara, and Liz has a necklace. We talk about @chicagoworldcon and Chicago a lot, and then get distracted by feelings, steampunk and lasers.
