Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Witchcraft, forbidden love & Mary, Queen of Scots: Kate Forsyth on folklore fantasy, The Changeling
Q: Would you rather be cursed to sleep for 100 years and wake up in an entirely different era or be cursed to forever speak in rhyming riddles?
I would choose rhyming riddles because I already speak in a lyrical way, and it would be less devastating than everyone I love being dead after 100 years.
Philip Pullman on 40 years of storytelling, and saying goodbye to beloved characters
Q: Can you think of any examples of that storytelling pattern in this series?
Pullman discusses how unexpected arrivals or new situations can propel a story forward, using Abdel Younidis as an example of a character who shifts the narrative in surprising ways.
Philip Pullman on 40 years of storytelling, and saying goodbye to beloved characters
Q: Would you ever write about Will's life after returning to his world?
Pullman suggests it would be a regretful but fascinating area to explore, acknowledging reader interest while noting it wasn't planned, and leaving room for interpretation.
Dragons, magic and deep nerd stuff: Ryan Cahill on 'Of Blood and Fire’
Q: Can you start by giving us an elevator pitch for the series and Of Blood and Fire especially, please?
Ryan explains that the goal was to recapture the wonder of classic fantasy for adults, delivering a warm, welcoming feel while embedding depth and long-form worldbuilding, with dragons and magic at the center but grounded by human emotions and relationships.
Yearning, angst and a Mr Darcy hand flex - Author Braidee Otto on her romantasy debut 'Songbird of the Sorrows'
Q: How did you decide to write Songbird of the Sorrows and set the tone for romantasy?
I wanted to write the story I would want to read, blending spy intrigue with romance, while exploring themes like belonging, identity, and resilience with a mythic Greek influence.
