Conan the Barbarian - Background, The Phoenix on the Sword, and The Frost Giant's Daughter

from Brothers Reading Books · host Michael Kentris and Will Kentris

Send us a message We leave sci-fi behind and jump into sword and orcery with Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian. We talk pulp context, the Hyborian Age’s “historical shorthand,” and why Conan on the page feels smarter, stranger, and more human than the pop culture version we were more familiar with.
