The Tennessee Fats Library Podcast - Episode 6 - Tim Lebbon's Conan: Songs of the Slain

Welcome to Episode 6 of The Tennessee Fats Library Podcast!I took a totally different approach to this one after a long break between episodes. I wanted to make these episodes more organic and less scripted and when I looked back at the amount of typing and notes that were needed in the Red Sonja Consumed Episode (Episode 5).I decided to go with written notes and more off the cuff commentary based on explaining the point forms in my notes.In this episode I dive into Tim Lebbon's Conan: Songs of the Slain.I already covered this book briefly on my main channel  @tennesseefats  so I figured why not do the deep dive into this one since it was still top of mind.This one had a lot going on in the villains, but the heroes and the adventuring party really were lighter fare. Thoroughly a fun read and I did enjoy it, but I'll spend more time here talking about the bad guys as I think they really stole the show in this book. I also dive into LOTS of Hyborian Age Conspiracy Theories in this one,Although this one is slightly different and a long one we'll stick with the same format.I'll start with a brief summary of when this one was published and what version I'm reading and then we'll get into the following topics:1) What's the Story About & Who are the Characters?2) What are the major Themes that Occur In the Story?3) Do we run into any Archaic Language that needs explaining?4) What did I think and what hit home to me? and finally5) What further readings are suggested if you like this story?Then we'll wrap this sixth episode up. Not sure what I'll read for the next one. Suggestions?And of course let's add some hashtags so interested parties can find this one:#conan #booktube #podcast #conanthebarbarian #podcast #fantasybooks #bookclub #bookreview #conansongsoftheslain #timlebbon
