Hugo Talk

Yes, Kevin and I have been at it again. There is a new Hugo Award podcast up at SF Awards Watch. In this one we explain why there are only 4 nominees in Short Story this year, why Doctor Who fans don’t have to worry about “splitting the vote” and why Connie Willis keeps getting nominated. There are lots of other questions we answer too. Our thanks to John DeNardo of SF Signal for playing the part of the ordinary fan in the street for us.

In addition to the actual podcast we have extensive show notes packed with statistics from the last 3 years of Hugo history. If you love poring over numbers, this will make you very happy. The data includes pie charts of number of nominating ballots by country of origin, which is information we didn’t get until 2010.
