In this week’s podcast episode, Justin talks with Renee Williams and Shaun Duke, editors of Speculative Fiction 2014. Available now from Book Smugglers Publishing, SpecFic ’14 is a survey of the years best online reviews, essays, and commentary. The conversation covers the contents of the anthology, the year’s themes, and the mechanics of identifying what makes a piece of non-fiction “the best.”

Renee is a blogger at Lady Business and Strange Horizons, a staff member at Archive of Our Own, and an unabashed fan of Bucky Barnes as portrayed by Sebastian Stan. She is also a dominant Tumblr at Subverting the Text and can be found on Twitter @renay.

Shaun is the host of the Hugo nominated Skiffy and Fanty Podcast and, a new podcast, Totally Pretentious. He’s also the blogger in residence at The World in the Satin Bag. He’s a graduate instructor, studying Caribbean literature and science fiction. He also likes Bucky, and can be found on Twitter @shaunduke.
