The Blasters and Blades Podcast

The Blasters & Blades PodcastStep into the armory of our imagination! We’re diving deep into the history and future of fictional defense, from the ground tanks of yesteryear to the orbital drop tanks of the far future. Our panelists debated realism vs. aesthetics, topics such as the transition from human loaders to AI-driven capabilities, and what it really feels like to be a “walking tank” in the heat of battle. Suit up… it’s going to be a heavy-hitting discussion. But this was also a fun interview, so check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!! Co-Hosts: JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)We work for free, so if you wanna throw a few pennies our way there is a linked Buy Me A Coffee site where you can do so.

Step into the armory of our imagination! We’re diving deep into the history and future of fictional defense, from the ground tanks of yesteryear to the orbital drop tanks of the far future. Our panelists debated realism vs. aesthetics, topics such as the transition from human loaders to AI-driven capabilities, and what it really feels like to be a “walking tank” in the heat of battle. Suit up… it’s going to be a heavy-hitting discussion. But this was also a fun interview, so check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!

Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.

The Blasters & Blades PodcastWe’ve got to talk to author Kacey Ezell, #USAirForce #veteran and our favorite Zoomie! She came on to talk nerdy with us for the gazillionth time! We talked about the cool speculative fiction books we’re reading and then we talked about what we want to read. Then we moved on to talking about the sequel to Magelight, Blood on the Sand book. But this is a #BeanBook, so often you can read books out of order. I’d call that a war crime, but people do it! This was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
