Parsec Finalist!

Well, ladies and germs, it’s official:

Predestination is a parsec finalist. Officially we’re up for “Best New Speculative Fiction Podcaster/Team,” and, while it’s only *one* of the nominations I was hoping for, if i had to pick only one this would probably be it. Why’s that? Well, this one has the advantage of being a shared award. I don’t know how many physical awards they give out, but if they give out multiples one is definitely going to Danny Schade, whose music made the world complete.

Thank you — all of you — for a hell of a first year doing this. Next year is, I hope, going to be even more exciting — I’ve gots me some plans!

Predestination, Episode 11 Delayed

A good friend of mine just lost her father to brain cancer, and I have to take some time out from my production schedule to offer a friendly shoulder.  I’ll have the episode up on Saturday, instead of today.  Please pardon the delay.
