  • Highly recommended for lovers of S&S

    This is a fantastic and entertaining podcast about the sword and sorcery genre. The hosts are funny and knowledgeable and I’ve come away with lots of recommendations I hadn’t heard of. The hosts’ enthusiasm is infectious. Listening to this podcast has prompted me to get back into reading Sword and Sorcery after several years away from the genre, and I’m having a great time discovering and rediscovering Conan, Elric and others. Highly recommended

  • My favorite podcast

    I started listening a few days ago and I’ve already burned through about a dozen episodes. I was laughing out loud on my run while listening to special guest “Arnold” discuss Conan the Barbarian 1982. These guys are great fun. I hope they keep it up.

  • Fantastic Sword & Sorcery Podcast

    As I lack the ever-glowing Tablet of Apple, my loving sorceress and mother of my brood, in her infinite generosity, has allowed me hers so that I may genuflect before the Rogues and sing their praises.

    Like many of my middle-aged brethren, I had come to spend my nights enthralled in the web of the aptly named Net of Flix. Time passed imperceptibly as I was slowly digested by the Sofa of Comfort. Had I known the endless slumber of this Suburban Lotus I should have preferred the quick sleep gifte... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sword & Sorcery's Affinity with Heavy Metal, featuring Brian Murphy
Q: What is that Venn diagram where metal meets sword and sorcery?
Murphy points to shared imagery, intensity, power and action, and says Heavy Metal musicians actively drew on Sword & Sorcery authors and stories. He cites Manowar, Manilla Road, album art by Ken Kelly, and songs based on works by Robert E. Howard and Karl Edward Wagner.
Sword & Sorcery's Affinity with Heavy Metal, featuring Brian Murphy
Q: What was the genesis of this book other than your lifelong metal fancy felt like you need to write it? But what got you off your ass to actually get this done?
Murphy wanted to write about the personal emotions and memories he associates with Heavy Metal, rather than produce another comprehensive metal history. He found few memoirs told from a fan's perspective and shaped the book around his life, concert experiences and the music that accompanied them.
Kingdoms Trembling with M. Stern
Q: Where can people find you and what are you working on next?
M. Stern points listeners to his author blog, Facebook page, Substack, and the Kingdoms Trembling title through DMR Books, while outlining ongoing and upcoming stories in Chythonic Matter quarterly and related projects.
How Modern Authors Revive Classic S&S Heroes
Q: What was it like to step into CL Moore's shoes for Jirel?
Molly explains she aimed to honor the original voice while injecting her own sensibilities, using Blue Fire to preserve spirit and make the world accessible to new readers, without simply mimicking Moore's style.
