The Thieves Guild is a full cast audiobook podcast of the epic fantasy series written by Nebula Award nominee Jake Kerr. With chapters released every Monday and Friday, the podcast provides a pulp-era serial experience with short episodes released regularly.

The Thieves Guild Doesn't Exist!

Or so the population of the isolated city-state of Ness believe. As far as everyone knows, the Thieves Guild is a symbolic thing meant to represent the hidden and vile citizens of the city that steal from those who work hard for what they own. It isn't actually real. And the Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild? Well, their only real duty is being pelted by garbage in the Founder's Day parade every year.

Irresponsible Ralan Miller figures he is untouchable as he creates mischief across the city. After all, he is guildless and thus beyond the reach of the authority of all the guildmasters. That is until his brother, the powerful guildmaster of the Merchant Guild, loses patience with him, and names him the Thieves Guild guildmaster shortly before Founders Day. Facing a future of angry citizens throwing rotten fruit and garbage at him during the Founders Day parade, Ralan soon discovers that the Thieves Guild isn't so symbolic after all and may be the only hope in saving the city from a simmering civil war.

The Thieves Guild is a sprawling epic saga that starts with Ralan, the mischievous brother to the guildmaster of the Merchant Guild, thrust into an unexpected central role in navigating geographical conflict, secret societies, mysterious cities, and heroic feats.

The Thieves Guild ebook or paperback is available at all major bookstores via this link.

In this season of Conan And Friends we feature all the Conan stories written in Robert E. Howard's lifetime. This week we present the full length story "A Witch Shall Be Born," which was published in Weird Tales magazine in 1934.

Conan the Barbarian is a legendary fictional character known for his unparalleled strength, indomitable spirit, and savage warrior skills. Created by writer Robert E. Howard, Conan roams the ancient and treacherous Hyborian Age, a fictional prehistoric era. With his rippling muscles, wild mane of hair, and fierce eyes, Conan embodies the archetype of the muscle-bound warrior. Born in the harsh Cimmerian lands, he endures a life of constant struggle, battling his way through a myriad of dangerous quests, fierce battles, and encounters with sorcery. Conan's tales are marked by his unwavering determination, cunning intellect, and primal instincts, making him an iconic symbol of heroism in the history of sword and sorcery.

We'll be presenting the works of Conan in the reading order recommended by scholars.

Conan And Friends is brought to you by In Shambles Productions. This episode was produced by audiodrama.ai.

You can find the definitive edition of Conan stories from your favorite bookstore here, available in ebook and paperback from our friends at Broadsword Books or via Amazon at www.getconan.com.

Join Bobber and Shaner as they discuss Shawn Inmon's book, Kradak the Champion.

 Kradak the Champion's first appearance is standing atop a mound of bodies; some of which are not quite dead. In his arm is a chubby child he's rescued, who is destined to become a leader. Kardak is not just a hero. He's a warrior.

This image is captured in a film that, in the real world, features Steve, an actor who plays Kradak in a series of B-films. Unfortunately, the film attracts the wrong kind of viewer when Rista and Grint come through a portal from Arkana, view the film portrait of this hero's exploits, and decide that Steve is just the person to save their world. It isn't until they kidnap him and bring him to Arkana, the portal closed behind them, that they discover that Steve is anything but a hero. 

Even as viewing habits have changed, a great movie poster will always stand out. The latest poster for Scream VI is creative and fun while also looking like very little effort was put into it. We also talk about any hidden meanings in the poster. This past week also saw the death of exploitation legend Ruggero Deodato. Best known for the infamous Cannibal Holocaust, he mark on genre cinema will last forever.

Before we discuss our least favorite movies of the year, a bit of a disclaimer. We love indie cinema and think people should make an effort to watch more. It is easier now than ever before to take a chance on a filmmaker you have never heard of. That being said, even when people put their best foot forward, it does not mean they will always avoid stepping in crap.

Our least favorite films of the year are from around the world. Horror, science fiction, and even a documentary make the list. We talk about awful protagonists and movies that can ruin an entire weekend. There are movies that are visually impressive and stores that are tone deaf. We even talk about a pair of horror icons.

All this, plus Genre of the Future. This week it is all about hatchet wielding hitchhikers, lot lizards, and dancing robots.
