Hands up all the Reno fans. We have a look at how a convention in Reno came about, by fans from out of state, and whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. We explore whether there is a floating Worldcon body of volunteers, who are brilliant no matter where they operate. If so, is this conducive to getting new volunteers and activists.

Steampunk has been referred to as "the Future Trend of Science Fiction" but is the subgenre started by Jeter and Powers (and Gibson and Sterling) merely a return to the classics as spun by Verne and Wells? Join our panelists as they look at recent works of Steampunk, share their opinions of what makes Steampunk different from the work of the founding fathers of Science Fiction, and why the genre is so appealing.
