30 Episodes Later!

The Book-Bat podcast has reached 30 episodes, with the latest being a bonus episode announcing the release of Davy Jones’ Aquarium!

Jason and Karlissa have been discussing Christian fantasy books and the wider fantasy landscape, from maturity in fantasy, to why they love fantasy, and their favourite fantasy characters.

Karlissa taught Jason ten fun facts about classic authors CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, and George MacDonald.

And Jason brought to the table some of his musings and questions. What are the pros and cons of the Christian fantasy market? Which is better: aspirational characters or relatable characters? Have we lost the magic of friendship stories?

Also: “Words matter, people!” What are Mary Sue characters, and where did that term come from?

Many conversations have been planned for the future, so be sure to subscribe to the Book-Bat podcast on Apple Podcasts (iTunes) or Spotify to follow along!
