Conan the Barbarian - The Black Colossus

We read and react to Robert E. Howard’s “Black Colossus." Grave-robbing and treasure hunting goes wrong and unleashes an ancient evil to sweep across the nations. We get to see Conan as a military commander when he is chosen by prophecy to assume a position of leadership in one nation's military defense against the hordes that have been assembled from the south.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523052/fan_mail/new] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523052/support] If you enjoyed the podcast share it with a friend and leave a rating and review!

Conan the Barbarian - Queen of the Black Coast

We follow Conan from a run-in with “civilized” law to his escape to the sea. From there it's on to piracy, pillaging, passion, and exploration of haunting ancient ruins. We also get some insights into Conan’s bleak theology, the visions of the black lotus, and a show down with Lovecraftian horrors.

Conan the Barbarian - The Scarlet Citadel

Today we cover Robert E. Howard’s “The Scarlet Citadel” and look once again at Conan as King which goes well with our previous episode on the "Phoenix in the Sword." This story hits our classic Conan tropes: betrayal, unsettling sorcerers, daring escapes, and last minute rescues.  Overall a rollicking good time!

Conan the Barbarian - The God in the Bowl and The Tower of the Elephant

We dive into a pair of classic Conan heist tales. Join us as we follow a young Conan as he multi-classes as a rogue in the classic stories "The God in the Bowl" and "The Tower of the Elephant." We have the usual Conan tropes of murder, monsters, and unsettling sorcery that reminds us of Howard's pen-pal Lovecraft.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523052/fan_mail/new] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523052/support] If you enjoyed the podcast share it with a friend and leave a rating and review!
