SofaCON 2013: An Online International Science Fiction Convention

StarshipSofa – SofaCON 2013

I am a regular listener and subscriber to the StarshipSofa podcast, hosted by Tony Smith from his headquarters in North East England. This summer Tony organised a Sci-Fi convention, with a difference, it was online. I was unable to commit the time to buy a ticket, but Amy Sturgis, (a key contributor to both the Sofa and SofaCON) has posted a video on YouTube of some of the online events.

StarshipSofa is one of my favourite podcasts, as well as getting a professional standard narrated, world class story each week there are a variety of regular fact articles making it a true magazine podcast. Among my favourite contributions are Looking Back at SciFi History by Amy H Sturgis, who knows what she will tell us about next and Science News by Jim Campanella, where you can nearly guarantee he will tell us something obscure about the sex life of an insect!

I have promoted the video here – if you like what you see then go over and subscribe to the Sofa.
