Hugo History

Cover of 'They'd Rather Be Right'. Features...something that looks like a futuristic science lab or spaceship with three people walking out of it.

Ep 2, on Mark Clifton and Frank Riley's They'd Rather Be Right, will drop on Thurs, Aug 14. Host (as always): @klaxoncomms.com and guest: @robtomshany.bsky.social! Hear us talk about the book that has been long-considered 'the worst book to win a Hugo'!
