So, I have another new project, which is underway and going to be progressing about one day a week while I complete my Leverhulme project. I'm writing a book on the Clarke Award. #sciencefiction #clarkeaward
I outline my approach here:

Episode 91 is now up! We discuss the Clarke Award winner, the Hugo Voter Packet, and site selection at Chengdu, before getting really quite digressive about GUFF and some fairly outlandish fundraising ideas… Finally, we do picks, and there are some hints/spoilers in the Mastodon hashtags. Listen here! https://octothorpe.podbean.com/e/91-o—-o—-o—/
