Kristenelle - SFF Reader | Best Related Work: Ranking the 2021 Hugo Nominees (feat. Shannon @That's So Poe) @KristenelleSFFReader | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Shannon joins me in discussing and ranking the best related work category of the Hugo awards this year. Best Related Work is a category for basically anything related to science fiction or fantasy that doesn't fit in any of the other award categories. As such, it is complicated considering how to rank things that can be so vastly different from each other. (Apologies for the soccer game noises in the background. I live across the street from a soccer field which was being pretty noisy during filming.)
