Seth @ Hugos There Podcast
@hugospodcast.com
Host of Hugos There (2025 Hugo nominee for Best Fancast), co-host of Take Me To Your Reader. Fan of baseball, dogs, disc golf, books, science, science fiction, theology, cooking, hiking, triathlons.
Now that the baseball season is over (congrats to the Dodgers), I can now root whole heartedly for the team I know and commonly refer to as the Football Mariners.

Go Seahawks! Also the throwback uniforms are the absolute best.

New Episode! Glory Road, by Robert A. Heinlein (1964 Hugo Nominee), with guest James Hedrick from the Something About Dragons Podcast/Blog

Is it Fantasy? Is it Science Fiction? Is it tons of fun? Is it disturbingly regressive in parts? All of the above!

While rehearsing in my friends' garage, I felt silently judged by the robot head that was watching us. (No idea what it actually was, so I'm choosing to believe it was a robot.)
