November 25, 2024 Episode 478: Let's talk about interesting heroines!
The Blasters & Blades Podcast
We've got a slightly controversial panel topic today, be warned! We’re talking about interesting female heroines with some awesome authors and creatives! We’ve got Chloe Garner, Declan Finn, Jana S Brown (aka Jena Rey), JF Posthumous (Jennie), Katie Cross and Melissa McShane on to talk nerdy with us. We rambled from what a heroine was, to which ones we admired from film, television and literature. Oh, and we dropped a lot of books for you to check out! We kept it to a tight hour, but sadly this topic was too big for one panel so there will be more opinions from this lot! This was a fun interview, so check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!

Today is Veteran’s Day in the United States, or Remembrance Day if you’re from anywhere else. Because we’re a veteran owned and focused podcast, we decided to gather some veterans to talk about our service and how we’re represented in fiction. We gathered an amazing crew of crusty veteran creatives for this panel! That’s right, we had David Hensley, John Epple, Reginald Lewis, Rick Partlow and Shane Gries come on to talk shop with us. This was a fun interview, so check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
