Great news!

Magic of Eyri has been nominated for two Parsec Awards!

• Best New Speculative Fiction Podcaster/Team
• Best Speculative Fiction Comedy/Parody Podcast

The Parsec Awards are,

“Dedicated to rewarding excellence in various aspects of Speculative Fiction Podcasting.”

This is a great honor, but–I have to wait and hear if I’m a finalist. That should be next month. I had to turn in a sample containing three segments I thought best showcased the areas I was nominated in. Those segments could only come from the first season (my first year of eligibility).

Winners are picked from the finalists, and the awards are given out at Dragon*Con in September. Winners don’t have to be present to win, and I don’t think they let the winners know ahead of time, so if (if) I were a finalist, I would have to head down there and hope for the best (and I probably would, if I could swing it financially/time off wise).

But even being a finalist would be amazing!

July Break!

There will not be any episodes released during July because I am moving and it could be awhile before I get settled and have Internet again. I decided to play it safe and also to give myself a break. I earned it. After this week’s episode, the next episode will be available August 4th.

If you are hurting for something to listen to in July, check out my other podcast, LansingNext. It is a weekly talk show.
