Way Station

Join us as we discuss the tenth Hugo Award winner: Clifford D. Simak's Way Station, also known as "Here Gather the Stars."

Host: Christine D. Baker, a historian who lives in Vancouver, BC. You can find her at @klaxoncomms.com‬ on Bluesky or follow what she's reading at her website: https://klaxoncomms.com/reading/

This month's guest is Paul Weimer, who is an incredibly prolific fan writer. He writes for Nerds of a Feather and podcasts at Skiffy and Fanty.

From about 5:30 to about 16:40, Christine is recapping the book, which has A LOT of spoilers. The rest of the episode isn't spoiler free, but that section goes through the plot in detail.
