Episode 481: Lets consider how fictional religions are represented in Speculative Fiction!

The Blasters & Blades Podcast

We've got a deep discussion panel for you where we talk about the idea of religions in speculative fiction. We’ve got Chloe Garner, Matthew Bowman, Melissa McShane and Teri Kay Jobe on to talk nerdy with us. We talked about the intersection of Earth religions and fantasy ones. We talked about the root of why religions matter to people, and thus the characters that populate the worlds we love. This was a fun chat, go check it out! 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)
