In this episode, the Baker sisters covers the Hugo award winner They’d Rather Be Right by Mark Clifton and Frank Riley. It was serialized in the magazine Astounding and then won the Hugo, yes - we’ve returned to the regular Hugos again, for best novel in 1955. It was a low point for the sisters who struggled with the whole thing in general, but they did laugh a lot. Want to skip a bit or jump to your favorite part?
