Locus also announced that hosts Karen Burnham and Karen Lord planned to create additional episodes to the series, which they would also archive. Around 2018 LocusOnline opted to archive the episodes of SF Crossing the Gulf created as part of SF Signal, as the original link to the series ceased to operate. The podcast ran on SF Signal for 18 episodes until the site went defunct in 2016. Authors discussed included Ted Chiang, Erna Brodber, and Curdella Forbes. SF Crossing the Gulf began recording in July 2012 and was created to focus on science fiction literature written by international writers, with a focus on Mexican, Chinese, and Caribbean literature. The podcast ran for 322 episodes, concluding with the closure of the site in 2016. It was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Fancast in 20 and won the award in 2014. The SF Signal Podcast launched in August 2010 and covered topics related to science fiction, fantasy, and similar genres. SF Signal ran three podcasts during its run, The SF Signal Podcast, The Three Hoarsemen, and SF Crossing the Gulf. Podcasts Īuthors discussed on SF Crossing the Gulf included Jamaican writer Erna Brodber. The site offered readers several weekly and monthly series such as book reviews, link roundups of author interviews and profiles, round table discussions on various topics (termed "Mind Melds"), links to currently free speculative fiction, contests, and notifications of various events and things that the editors found interesting. It focused on topics in the science fiction genre such as literature, film, and artwork, but also addressed topics in other genres such as fantasy, young adult, and horror fiction. In May 2016, DeNardo and Frantz announced the end of SF Signal because of the blog's increasing demands on their time. This marked the first time a fanzine won in its first year of contention and the first time an electronic fanzine of this type won the award. In 2012 SF Signal won the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine. SF Signal published three podcasts: SF Crossing the Gulf, The Three Hoarsemen, and The SF Signal Podcast.
As the website's popularity grew, they began to incorporate more original content and hired additional staff members as well as brought in new contributors. They decided to launch a blog where they could discuss science fiction and related genre writings, events and ideas that were interesting to them. The website was launched in 2003 by John DeNardo and JP Frantz after they noticed a lack of blogs focusing on science fiction. The site itself won two Hugo Awards for Best Fanzine, 20. It hosted three podcasts, one of which won the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Fancast. The site was launched by John DeNardo and JP Frantz and focused on writings, events, and other topics focusing on the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and other related genres. SF Signal was a science fiction blog and fanzine published from 2003 to 2016.
