Episode 482: Are bards even useful?

The Blasters & Blades Podcast Today we have a fun panel about a topic that came up in other episodes. We’re here to talk about bards and try to figure out what the heck they’re good for! We had an awesome panel with Chloe Garner, Hunter Kay Wallace, Jana S Brown (aka Jena Rey), Jesse James Fain and Teri Kay Jobe. They came on to talk nerdy with us. We started out talking about our favorite Christmas memories, which was a hoot as we got to know each other better. Then we talked about the wild world of bards! It was a fun interview, so check it out. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
