Welcome to the seventh episode of season two! In this episode we get to have an international conversation with a hero of mine in the Warhammer40K hobby world: Edward AKA Death_Of_A_Rubricist on Instagram. We discuss what Warhammer40K is, talk about the War Of The False Primarch narrative event (which is open to all to join), and also discuss the nature and benefits of hobbying. This episode was a lot of fun and there is something for everyone, even if Warhammer40K isn’t your jam!

First episode of 2021 only halfway through 2021! This one is a wide ranging episode in which we cover my RedStarReviews Favorite Book Of The Year Award for 2020, Vintage SciFi Month, Warhammer40K, painting, Indie SciFi gets a new awards competition, and an offering of personal encouragement to not be discouraged in difficult times. Hope you enjoy and hope you are well!

For the fifth episode of season two we have something really special! The founder of Vintage SciFi Month joins for a conversation on one of the greatest months of reading ever! The end is a bit abrupt as my headset died on me so apologies for that, but this episode was so much fun to produce so we want to give it to you in its entirety! Also here are several resources for finding material to read for Vintage SciFi Month (which takes place every January). Here are the links to the resources talked about in the podcast: Project Gutenberg http://gutenberg.org/ Luminist Archives (everything) http://www.luminist.org/archives/periodicals_index.htm Luminist archives SF Magazines http://www.luminist.org/archives/SF/ Librivox Audiobooks - free public domain https://librivox.org/ Ann and Jeff Vandermeer "big books", these are avail in print and e-book.

Season Two Episode Three is a trip down memory lane where we meet old friends in the form of books and talk about their magical ability to transport you to the moment you first read them.

In this episode I dive deep into the Pre Unity Valiant comic books and explore each title and what it means to me as a reader.

So happy to have you join for season two! If you missed season one have no fear you can listen anyways! The podcast is back with exciting new features! Mainly Pre Unity Valiant Comic Books! What are these comic books you ask? Listen in to find out!

This episode represents the closing out of season one, a look back, and a look forward to season two! As well as some ramblings on life and some nostalgia.

Y’all, my platform might not be large, but it will be used to speak out against oppression and to speak up for the oppressed. We live in a time when we need to no longer be silent and need to speak up. This episode is me starting to speak out. Please listen with an open mind. Please realize I won’t always get everything right, but I will strive to be teachable and to listen. Let me say this clearly: Black Lives Matter.

A nostalgic and rambling dive into one of my comic book boxes! I grabbed the one that is filled with random comic books that I’ve not seen in ages and emptied it out while discussing aspects of 90’s comic books and the industry. Join me for a fun exploration of a box of comic books!

Be sure to listen to parts 1 and 1&1/2 first but here is part 2! We take a silly and hopefully fun walk through my bookshelves as I describe one book per shelf and give my thoughts on it. Thank you for listening!

For some reason when I published episode sixteen it published complete on Anchor but incomplete on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! To correct this I’ve added the missing (almost) ten minutes here to episode 16&1/2 so that you can hopefully continue to enjoy this fun walk through my shelves!

Join me as I get a little silly and travel through my shelves reading book descriptions in a very serious and cheesy voice! This one was fun to make, hope you enjoy it! One important note the episode cut out a ten minute segment at the end but no worries I’m adding it as episode 16 & 1/2!

A dive into Fantasy, what the different sub genres are, a history of my Fantasy reading and maybe a few good reading suggestions for you!

A return to the podcast after a few months away! Hear the host ramble on about life for a few minutes before jumping into the world of books!

In this episode we will cover not only my Favorite Book Of The Year for 2019 but also the five runners up for the award and the previous winners dating back to 2013!

Covering my current reads, recent reads, and immediate TBR reads!

In this episode of the podcast we go into detail about what a Group Read is, how to host one, tips for improving one, and then we talk about the Group Reads that have happened and will be happening soon!
