The fabulous fiction podcast Simultaneous Times is up for the Ignyte Award for Best Fiction Podcast! I’ve had the honor of being a recurring narrator on the podcast since earlier this year, after one of my stories with them (“Hello This is Automatic Antigrief: What Problem Can I Solve for You Today?“) was nominated for a British Science Fiction Award for Best Audio Fiction.
Fun fact: I didn’t know that being a recurring narrator and second pair of eyes on some submissions meant I was a part of the Simultaneous Times team…until Jean-Paul contacted me to make sure he had the pronunciation of my name right for the award announcements! What a delightful way to find out =)
As I’ve been thinking a lot about community and relations lately, it’s a really lovely reminder that I sometimes have more import and impact that I realize on those around me.
The nominees this year are amazing across the board — it’s an honor to be a small part of them ❤
