Hi Smooches! We've been truant, and we're sorry, OK?! Life is just like really really hard. But we have so many books to talk about, including my new MMF short story, And They Were Roommates, and all the very informative and depressing books Meg is reading in her therapy studies. Meg kept getting kicked out of the Zoom meeting, and I kept in every time it happened because it was pretty funny. But that only goes on for the first maybe 10 minutes of the episode so don't worry about it from an audio perspective, it's not the whole episode. We've got lots and lots of news, including our plans for the summer, so let's get into it!

All of Becky's writing is excellent, but if you haven't read The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet  it's a great place to start. It's a wonderful, warm, and character-driven space opera that follows the tight-knit crew of a wormhole-drilling starship working their way across the galaxy. We talked with Becky about:Growing up in a 'space' familyGoing from self-publishing to winning a Hugo Her process for creating her wonderful characters Using the search for identity as central conflict Becky's biggest influencesOr you can watch the episode on YouTube if you prefer video (and see the short videos we've started posting every other week), or join the Hugonauts book club on discord!

Tune in as Chelsee and Christina (The Bi Pod) collaborate with Arthur for Pride Month 2022, during which queer content will be featured throughout June. For the fourth and final episode of the month, the focus is on the The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, the 2014 space opera debut novel by Becky Chambers. As the first entry in her Wayfarers series, it boasts quite a few merits, including (but not limited to) the Found Family trope, an extensively queer view on gender and sexuality, and detailed yet accessible worldbuilding. Along with breaking down all of this, the hosts mix up Treasure Planet with Atlantis: The Lost Empire, discuss romantic relationships between humans and A.I., and comment on Twitter toxicity. Spoilers start at 14:40 • Chelsee: Two Rogues Make a Right by Cat Sebastian • Christina: Netflix's Heartstopper • Arthur: Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi Reach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!
