I had imposter syndrome so sneaky I didn’t even realize it! (recorded before WorldCon).
- We all talk ourselves out of good ideas.
- Convention rules, updated for 2026! (But you still have to 3, 2, 1. That will never change.)
- We talk 2k-10k and Page One to Done.
- Regrettably, Roberts Rules of Order is discussed.
- All the other perks that come with a Worldcon membership.
- See you in Montreal in 2027!
I attended Worldcon and promptly got Covid (my first time!) and so I cut out a lot of talk of my plans and my panels because the episode is late and I had very little fun. Congrats to all the Hugo finalists!

In case it wasn’t clear: Mur and this podcast are fully supportive of LGBTQ+ folks, believe that Black Lives Matter, and trans rights are human rights, despite which direction the political winds blow.
And “AI” or large language models are wretched and we hate them so very much.
