The show's strapline is "In which a group of SF and Fantasy professionals squee about things SF-nal, in a never ending panel discussion of vague positivity."

The format of the show involves each contributor bringing something to the table and explaining its appeal before inviting wider discussions from the test of the panel. Novels and TV shows are routinely discussed, but objects for discussion have included music, video games and even the Hugo Awards themselves. Having discussed each panelists' contributions the regular contributors then ask their guest a set of standard Silly Questions.

Hugo Awards

SF Squeecast was nominated for, and won the inaugural and second Hugo Awards for Best Fancast in 2012 and 2013. Having won twice in a row they recused themselves from future awards.[1]

Restructure the economy for post-material-scarcity or whatever. No idea how that would *work* but oh well.
gollark: If you can make robots/AI/whatever do any work you want easily, I'm sure you could make a few to produce food and whatever without problems.
gollark: Also, congratulations on successfully (so far) navigating the horrors of the UK university system.
gollark: Our culture has such a bizarre obsession with hard work.
gollark: I don't see how replacing humans in jobs is a *bad* thing.
