4 Parsec Award Nominations!

Grant — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:23:30 +0000

The Parsec Awards are handed out yearly to recognize excellence in Speculative Fiction (sci-fi, horror, fantasy, superhero, etc) Podcasting. In the past The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd has won 4 Parsec Awards. The 2010 Parsec Award Finalists have been announced and I had a hand in three podcasts nominated for a total of 4 awards.

The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd returns to award contention with nominations in the categories of Best Speculative Fiction Audio Drama (Short Form) and Best Speculative Fiction Video Story.

In a first time nomination, Grant’s Advent Calendar Video Podcast will compete against Dr. Floyd as it has been nominated for a Best Speculative Fiction Video Story award as well.

Also in a first time nomination, The Henson.com Podcast has been nominated in the category of Best Podcast about Speculative Fiction Content Creation.

I’m just overjoyed at this outpouring of recognition and thanks the Parsec Awards and all the folks who click and listen (or watch) to the stuff I produce. Thank you.
