Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

In our first ever DPW BookCast, we cover the first three stories of "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian" collection written by Robert E. Howard. We start the episode off with a reading of the poem "Cimmeria" that kicks off the collection of stories.

After that, we talk a bit about the illustrations in the collection, the life and writing style of Robert E. Howard, and some of the overall things we enjoyed so far. Then we go into detail and discuss the three stories "The Phoenix on the Sword," "The Frost-Giant's Daughter," and "The God in the Bowl."

We end the episode with a discussion of where we feel Robert E. Howard's work and writing style falls among the great literary writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. We also go back into a familiar conversation on what makes something classic or fine literature and if the Conan stories should get such a grand distinction.

We decided to chill out with this episode and talk about books and writing. We go over what we hope to get out of our upcoming BookCast series, The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian. Then we get into a discussion on the work of H. P. Lovecraft as well as our current writing productivity. Don't be fooled, though, the title is accurate. We start the episode off on a raunchy note. So don't listen to this one with the kids around!

With 2019 coming to an end, we felt like it would be fun to revisit all the things that made this past year great and not so great. We discuss the things we failed at, accomplished individually and through the DPW brand, and we go over what we hope to accomplish in 2020. 

There's a lot of drunken nonsense in this one, and be sure to stick around until the very end for one last dose of low brow stupidity to end the year off right.
