In the post announcing Episode 325 of COODE STREET PODCAST, they do the unusual.

We don’t usually get to this, but in a rare moment of organisation, we’re providing a combined copy of Jonathan [Strahan] and Gary [K. Wolfe]’s draft World Fantasy ballots below. These will change (they’re drafts) but it may serve as a useful pointer to some good reading etc.

Their suggested ballot included several books from Tachyon writers and editors.
