My greatest hope is that Norm (and the rest of the crew) run nothing but high quality science fiction here and resist the urge to unexpectedly drop fantasy stories on us listeners as has happened from time to time here, though not much lately. 

I have no doubt that that's exactly what will happen.

However, please keep in mind that EP also traditionally publishes the Short Story nominees from the Hugos (as many as they can get rights for, anyway) and they - rightly - do so without regard to whether the stories are SF or fantasy. I, for one, hope that they continue this tradition (though I do urge Norm and other hosts to mention this fact in the story introductions when the time comes, if only to forestall the inevitable, and annoyingly clueless, "Waah, you got fantasy in my science fiction!" whining.)

I am definitely aware of that tradition, fully support it, and hugely appreciate when the hosts give exactly such a heads-up when they introduce fantasy stories.
