If you want a reminder of my rules for this 2018 Resolution, here they are. So I got excited about podcasts after Limetown, and sailed into The Bridge with cautious optimism. I loved the premise and thought why not? I loaded up several CDs worth of episodes (do not get me started on my iTunes shenanigans with the podcasts or…

So, it’s been a pretty brutal winter this year in North America (our home base). Are you as absolutely done with it as I am?

They might not be raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens, but that doesn’t mean that we love them any less. Welcome back to My Favorite Things, the weekly column where we grab someone in speculative circles to gab about the greatest in geek.

After last year’s successful resolution (pretty much a first for me!), I decided to dip my toes into a spec-fic area I barely even know exists — podcasts.
