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

The Blasters and Blades Podcast

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!
