Octothorpe

Octothorpe 117 is here! We discuss the recent Worldcon, Glasgow 2024, talking mostly about registration, attendance, and programme. Spoiler: we quite liked it, listeners. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/117-y

Three photographs dominate the centre of the image. The left-hand photograph is of a prototype Hugo made of rough wood and cardboard; the centre photograph is of a rough-ish wood base and tin foil rocket but with the actual acrylic and etching, and the right-hand photograph is of the finished Hugo Award. Text below the photos reads “protoprototype”, “prototype”, and “2024 Hugo”. Above, the words “Octothorpe 117” appear.

@octothorpecast Re: counting attendees of Worldcons: I have it on good authority (i.e. straight from the person who calculated the statistics) that the Helsinki day memberships were deduplicated, i.e. one person visiting on multiple days only counted as one day pass holder. In addition, unclear cases were left out of the statistics, so it is a conservative estimate.

@octothorpecast No worries! Really enjoyed the episode(s) on Worldcon BTW!
