In which we discuss the She-Devil with a Sword, Red Sonja! We talk about her origins and her rise to her own title. We discuss her influences and her legacy. We even talk about that movie. You know the one. The one with the lady who has a sword? C'mon man!
With our 14th episode, we continue our little mini-theme of sword-and-sorcery! We're gonna stop here 'cuz honestly it's not exactly my favorite genre, but Conan and Sonja were worth it! What do you think? Give us a shout on either our social medias, emails, or maybe leave a rating on whatever podcatcher you use! We'll be at these places:

Phil here: Fortunately for me, research on this one was basically done at the same time as the Conan episode because...well...that's where Sonja came from. As a consequence, I won't have much to add here in terms of research that's different from last episode with a few exceptions, of course. This episode ended up being somewhat shorter as well because so much information was covered last episode as well! Anyway, I hope you liked it! References as follows:
