Join myself and some other Dragon Con-loving friends as we talk all things Dragon Con – general info, insider tips, what our plans are for Dragon Con 2019, and more! Oh, and there is lots of drinking involved as we do so.
Episode 26 of The Geek Saga Podcast includes live audio from the two Red Dead Redemption panels featuring voice actors Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) and Benjamin Byron Davis (Dutch van der Linde) at MomoCon 2019.
As a huge fan of the Red Dead Redemption games, I was very excited when I heard that Roger Clark and Benjamin Byron Davis would be attending MomoCon in Atlanta. I spent the weekend cosplaying Red Dead (Sadie Adler, specifically, along with my buddy who does an amazing John Marston) and made sure to attend both the Saturday and Sunday panels featuring the actors. This podcast features audio from both panels, though I did remove some repetitive questions/stories to make it…well, more cohesive, sure, but also shorter (and it still clocks in at just over an hour and a half long). Whether you attended the con/these panels or are simply a Red Dead fan, I hope you enjoy – I know I did!
(Side note: I do apologize for the fact that there is some annoying ‘foreground noise’ at certain points. Unfortunately, being in the audience meant that I couldn’t control the noise the people around me made, and I didn’t want to lose too much volume on the moderators and actors when they were speaking.)

Westeros is full of ancient and magical forces, and while we spent quite a bit of this panel discussing the White Walkers in particular, we also touched on wargs and weirwoods and what all these things mean for/in the world that GRRM has created.

Episode 20 of TheGeek Saga Podcast includes live audio from the Dragon Con High Fantasy track’s “There Must Always Be a Stark at Dragon Con” panel from Dragon Con 2018.
This panel focused on George R.R. Martin’s Sons of the Dragon novella, published in last year’s Book of Swords anthology. We discussed the succession issues after Aegon the Conqueror’s death and the reign of Maegor the Cruel, as well as possible probable parallels to the current A Song of Ice and Fire timeline.
Episode 18 of The Geek Saga Podcast includes live audio from the Dragon Con Apocalypse Rising track’s panel called “Join the Resistance: Dystopias of Change” from Dragon Con 2018.
This panel examined how dystopias often focus on issues within our society, government, and culture. We discussed such works as The Hunger Games, Mad Max Fury Road, Red Rising, and our own works as we focused on why dystopian media continues to engage and change our culture for the better.
