You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarks World Citizens. I hope this podcast finds you well on this day of foolery.

Unfortunately, I don't really have anything to fool you with,

so all I've got is good news.

As most of you are aware, the Hugo nominations were released on Saturday, and Clark's World

killed it with five of them.

So I send my hearty congratulations out to Catherine and Valenti for her story Fade to White, which was

nominated in the Novelet category.

And due to the 3% rule, there were only three short stories

nominated this year, two of which were Clark's Worlds.

Immersion by Aliet de Boudard

and Mantis Wives by Kids Johnson.

Our editor with the Artificial Heart

also snagged a Best Editor Short Form nomination, and the magazine itself is in the best semi-prosyne

category.

So congratulations to Sean Wallace, to Jason Heller, who was our non-fiction editor for that year and to Neil I hope you can

tell by the smile in my voice how excited I am that we received all of these nominations

and I want to thank each and every one of you who took the time to vote for your favorite things in the genre.

So we've also got six podcast to share with you this month.

It's usually five unless we can make those subscriber numbers. with you

this month.

but we wanted to give you sort of a taste of what it would be like
