Laura sez, "Podcast nominations are open until June 1, 2012 for the Seventh Annual Parsec Awards which recognize excellence in speculative fiction podcasting. The awards were founded in 2005 by New York Times bestselling author Tracy Hickman, podcasting guru and author Mur Lafferty, and Farpoint Media founder Michael Mennenga. Given each year at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia, the awards recognize those whose works mark the pinnacle of this form of new media and give hours of entertainment to their audience. This year there are 17 categories recognizing stories, full cast productions, audio dramas, videos, content creation, fan and newscasts, fact behind the fiction casts, new podcasters, music, and more."

      I was liking Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Startalk this year…  don’t know what niche it would fill particularly.  Scott Sigler, in fiction, did a lot of good work this year, too.
