Hindsight 2020: A Quick THANK YOU from the GP Crew

12/30/20 • 16 min

This week, we took a few minutes to thank everyone who has helped us make the back half of 2020 better than we'd hoped. We launched Glitchy Pancakes on June 19 of this year with an episode on Protest & Rebellion in SF/F, featuring the amazing Sheree Renée Thomas. From then until now, we've published 30 episodes full of fun and illuminating conversations about all aspects of SF/F fandom with a slate of absolutely fantastic guests, and we hope you've all gotten something good out of listening. We greatly appreciate every guest who gave us a slice of their time, as well as all the listeners who have kept us going. We'll be back in January serving up more fresh hot stacks of Glitchy Pancakes. Happy New Year everybody! Let's make it the best one yet!

124 - The "Canon" Episode w/ Jeannette Ng & Dr. Lisa Yaszek

Some say there are certain works & authors in SF/F/H that one Must Read in order to appreciate or understand the genres. But with all the amazing new work coming out from new voices around the world, are the so-called "canonical" works even relevant anymore? How can fans navigate the world of speculative fiction in a way that makes it meaningful (and let's not forget FUN) for them? We get into it with two fantastic guests: 2019 Astounding Award winner & author of Under the Pendulum Sun, Jeannette Ng, and Georgia Tech Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies & author of The Future is Female, Dr. Lisa Yaszek. Heads up: there may be some discussion of gross '70s Jell-O molds.

201 - Welcome to 2021! News of the World

Welcome back! It's our first episode of the year, and having lost our minds long ago in the Before Times of 2020, we attempt to stay coherent as we discuss what's going on in fandom. We talk about the release of Black Panther: Tales of Wakanda, the upcoming Black Panther tv series helmed by Ryan Coogler, the Locus recommended reading list, updates on the convention scene, explain the Hugo Award nomination process, and more. We do NOT discuss WandaVision. Yet. Enjoy!
