Episode 527: Fisticuffs For All, Hand-To-Hand Combat In Fiction!

The Blasters & Blades PodcastWowzer, right in the kisser! Today we’re digging into hand-to-hand combat in speculative fiction. We traded blows and barbs, talked shop and fought it out until the buzzer sounded. And we mostly stayed on the topic of fiction when not telling lies and war stories! This time we’ve got Dan Kemp, Doc Spears, Jesse James Fain and Reginald Lewis on to talk nerdy with us. This was 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.
