This week, Bob chatted with James, Norm, and Heidi from Penguicon. The discussion covers an introduction of Penguicon—an open-source and sci-fi (and more!) convention, favorite memories from Penguicons past (the ’80s parties we hosted kicked ass!), and what’s coming up for Penguicon.

Unfortunately, there will not be a Penguicon 2025. Instead, there will be a smaller event held this year to raise funds to make Penguicon 2026 the best it can be. That event is The Underground Masquerade, a formal masquerade fundraiser gala, held on May 17, 2025 at Laurel Manor in Livonia. Tickets start at $150.
