Episode 479: What Comes Next?
Well, without really planning it, we had a bit of a hiatus. It seems like recording over a hundred episodes in a row left us – or at least Jonathan – with the need for a little break, but we’re back! We think.
With the Virtual ConZealand not quite over, Gary and Jonathan sit down to talk awards, congratulate the award-winners, talk about inclusiveness and the need for a fresher take on the genre, thank the ConZealand team and shout out to coming conventions, and more. Oh, and thank the World Fantasy Awards for a very unexpected nomination! Thank you!
As always, we hope you enjoy the episode. We should be back soon with more!
