The Hugo thing happened. So we talked about it.
- Mur and Matt come to you live from the hermetically sealed Hugo Award storage chamber in Ditch Diggers Manor (because Hugos get dirty).
- AITA because I had a good day?
- Mur discusses her new adventures in Twitch and Crowdcast live-streaming, including ascending above the level of “YOU ARE NOTHING!” on Twitch.
- Matt is still a YouTuber (technically).
- Mur makes Matt think about his own death and Matt accuses Mur of trying to make people date the Grand Canyon (sort of).
- The inevitable Hugo Awards Ceremony debacle discussion ensues, including a summary of what happened at the 2020 ceremony.
- The disconnect between the amazing writers and creators who won Hugo Awards (and their eloquent and relevant speeches) and the time machine from which the majority of the presenters stepped out.
- The infamous Balloon Guy Story (that does not involve kink shaming).
- Q&A! A listener asks Matt about his upcoming novels and the issue of appropriation when it comes to writing the Other. Also, questions about Substack and Medium.
- The traditional end-of-episode shilling (and Matt denounces Spotify).
