In this episode, we take a look at worldbuilding, specifically the scientific side, and how writers can make use of the likes of biology to create unique and interesting worlds.

We also take an in-depth look at archery, particularly from the medieval period.

And we also explore Norse mythology, something that's grown in popularity over recent years.

We also share the latest calls for submissions and our community announcements.
