Episode 479: Up close and personal with the romantasy genre!

The Blasters & Blades Podcast

Do you love learning about new and exciting literary genres? Do you want to learn about all of the coolest corners of the bookshelf? Well then, we’ve got another chat with an awesome panel for you today! This time we’ve got Angela Watts, Declan Finn, Hunter Kay Wallace, Jana S Brown (aka Jena Rey) and Melissa McShane on to talk nerdy with us. We talked about this new thing called romantasy, also known as the romantic fantasy genre! Even cooler, we gave a list of books in the genre to check out for yourself! This was a fun interview, so check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!

Join us for a fun show! We're 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:
JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)
Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)
Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd)
