Each week, expert authors and hilarious comedians will team up to present arguments and counter-arguments (and sometimes interpretive dance) to support their side of a fantasy topic, drawn from fantasy literature and film. Topics range from Game of Thrones to Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter to Star Wars – everything is fair game! At the end of each episode, hosts Abbi Crutchfield and Drea Bolt will make their decision, then ask the audience to weigh in.
Featured fantasy authors include:
Pierce Brown (Red Rising)
Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files)
Marie Lu (Warcross)
Naomi Novik (Spinning Silver)
Tochi Onyebuchi (War Girls)
Featured comedians include:
Viewers can participate in the debate themselves by joining Penguin Random House’s SciFi & Fantasy Group, Unbound Worlds, which will hold Watch Parties and post bonus material.
