Episode 444: Diving into Speculative Fiction with the folks over at Upstream Reviews!

The Blasters & Blades Podcast We had a fun chat with the folk of Upstream Reviews. We talked about what makes a good book and what we look for ourselves. Then we dive into our own personal favorite books and why we love them. Finally, we chat on the importance of book reviews and why we write them. This was a fun interview, so check it out. 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. Co-Hosts: JR Handley (Author) (Grunt) Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt) Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd) 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. Just mention the podcast in the comments when you donate, and I'll keep the sacred bean water boiling!
