Blaine Pardoe’s back, to talk the Tenure series, Big Stompy Robots, and whatever else comes up. Come and join us. We’ll be live on YouTube, Rumble, and Twitter/X at 6 Pacific, 9 Eastern.
Blaine Pardoe Returns to the Stream
Sword and Quill on Stream
Steve Tarani and Steven Lieberman join us to discuss their upcoming Wargate nonfiction book, Sword and Quill, on mindset and preparation necessary to be a responsible armed citizen. As per usual, we’ll be on YouTube, Rumble, and X/Twitter. Come join us.
Rationality, Policy, and Geopolitics on Stream
After a long hiatus, the American Praetorian livestream is back. (Though Mike is now muttering about making it “From Sea to Shining Sea” as we tackle virulent conspiracy theories. If you’ve read Dead Six you’ll understand.) Joining us this month is Mike Cote, who writes for NRO, Quillette, a couple other magazines, and his site Rational Policy. We’ll mainly be talking about history, geopolitics, and the like, but if you’ve watched any of these streams before, you know that we can go pretty far afield. We’ll be on YouTube, Rumble, and Twitter/X.
Talking Guns, Crime, and Law with Runkle
Bit of a different stream this month; we’re not talking with another author, but with a lawyer. Ian Runkle is a Canadian criminal defense and firearms lawyer. We usually end up talking about guns anyway on this stream, so, with SHOT Show recently going down, we’ll be talking all things firearms, on both sides of the northern border. Come join us. As usual, we’ll be on YouTube, Rumble, and Twitter/X.
Doc Spears is Back
Last stream of the year, and we got Doc Spears back to jaw with us. Since it’s late in the year, we don’t necessarily have a topic right off the bat, so we’ll be talking writing, history, war… the usual. Come and join us. For those who aren’t familiar, Doc Spears is a former Special Forces soldier, surgeon, current instructor with Forge Tactical, and Wargate author. It’s always good to talk to Doc. We’ll be on YouTube, Rumble, and Twitter/X.
A Spooky Stream for October
We might have missed September, but we’re back for October, “Spooky Season,” in time to talk monsters, haints, spooks, and other things that go bump in the night. And some of those that “bump back.” Something in the Dark came out, fittingly, only a couple weeks ago, so we’ll probably get around to some Jed Horn, too. You can watch on YouTube, Rumble, or over on X.
Galaxy’s Edge Fan Expo AAR
It has been a while. It’s been a busy summer, and the blog has suffered, plus we had to skip the stream last month. We’re back now, though, and Walt Robillard, the Wargate Books Trunk Monkey (his actual job title) joins us to talk about the Galaxy’s Edge Fan Expo, which went down in Oak Harbor, WA, last weekend, as well as books, science fiction, fantasy, dogs, knives, martial arts, interesting violence in interesting places, and anything else that might come up. (Walt’s also the author of the sixth Order of the Centurion novel, Callsign Valkyrie, as well as the Forgotten Ruin spinoff Underspire.) Come join us. We’ll be on YouTube, Rumble, and X/Twitter again.
Galaxy’s Edge Season Three Chat
The Emperors, Nick Cole and Jason Anspach, join us this month to chat about Galaxy’s Edge Season Three. GE changed a lot when it launched in 2017 with Legionnaire, and it’s not often a series can go this long with such a fanatically dedicated reader base. Nick and Jason have also been both friends and publishers of mine, lending advice, support, bringing me in to contribute to the Order of the Centurion series, and publishing The Lost (plus a couple more upcoming series). Come and join us. We’ll also be on my Twitter/X account: https://x.com/AmericanPraeto2
Guns, Mags, and Words – David Reeder Joins the Stream
This month we’re joined by the founder of Breach Bang Clear and one of the first to really help get the word out about the American Praetorians series, back when your host was just getting started. Writer, SPOTREPS contributor, and web guru David Reeder. Dave was one of the first enthusiasts about the American Praetorians series, after I sent him a copy of Task Force Desperate in the hopes that Breach Bang Clear would review it. In fact, he put the review on Military.com’s Kit Up, which got the book some visibility it would not otherwise have had. He is also a SPOTREPs contributor, having written two pieces for that anthology. We’re doing the stream slightly differently tonight, streaming on YouTube, Rumble, and Twitter/X. Come and join us. The Twitter stream will be on my profile: @AmericanPraeto2
Mongol Moon Live
No, we’re not reading Mongol Moon on stream, but we do have the author, Mark Sibley, joining us this month. As a fellow Wargate author, and also an author of near future war scenarios, we should have a lot to talk about. Even with the inevitable tangents. Come and join us on YouTube, Rumble, or Facebook. (We might experiment a little with Twitter next month, which will require cutting one of those destinations out.)
