This week we feature a crossover episode with our friends on The Historical Bookworm! We take a deep dive into historical fiction and what draws us to it. We also discuss how to enter into some of the harder parts of historical fiction, and some of our favorite time periods, including various wars and their impact on history.

The Historical Bookworm Podcast is a bi-weekly interview show for fans of inspirational historical fiction. . It’s a unique interview show with a historical spin! Hosts KyLee Woodley and Darcy Fornier interview authors about craft, research, and stories behind the stories, plus short segments like Pinch of the Past and The Bookworm Review.

Designed for history lovers and readers, each episode mixes thoughtful conversation, fun historical tidbits, and honest recommendations — perfect for listening while you drive, jog, or wait for the kids.
