Episode 316: Creating Realistic Geopolitical Organizations in Fictional Worlds!

The Blasters & Blades Podcast

Just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.

Co-Hosts:
Doc Cisca (Uber Book Fan) (Army Medic)
JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)
Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)
Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd)
