Episode Synopsis
In this episode the Baker sister, they discuss the 1st Hugo awarded ever. It was given to the book The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester published in 1952 and won the Hugo in 1953. This rather amazing book was enjoyed by both ladies and but the brevity of the book and oddly enough, the likeability of it, made for a shorter podcast.
