    Angus Donald talks about his novel, Templar Traitor - Mongols, falling off horses, Conan the Barbarian and more!
    Aug 15 2025

    Our guest today is Angus Donald, author of the Outlaw Chronicles, about a medieval gangster called Robin Hood, a 17th-century series about an unusual but rather brilliant chap called Holcroft Blood. And writing as Angus Macallan, he has also tried his hand at fantasy with the Gates of Stone.

    We previously had Angus on the podcast to talk about his Fire Born series, set in 8th century Europe. His newest book, out at the end of August, is Templar Traitor, the first in a trilogy based on the true story of an Englishman who fought with the Mongols on the side of Genghis Khan.

    Welcome to RPS, Angus.

  • J. C. Duncan talks Vikings, Bladesmithing, Publishing and more!

    J. C. Duncan talks Vikings, Bladesmithing, Publishing and more!
    Aug 1 2025

    Today’s guest is author, J.C. Duncan. He is the author of The Last Viking Series of novels about Harald Hardrada and the The Light of the North saga, a historical fantasy series set in a world where the Vikings clash with Christian Crusaders. As well as writing, J.C. Duncan is also a bladesmith and there can’t be much cooler than forging blades!

    Justin of course had a novel about Harald Hardrada, so I think this is going to be a very interesting chat!

    Welcome to RPS, J.C. Duncan.

Imagine walking into a pub, waving to your two friends you were to met up with. Now these friends aren’t just ordinary people, nope Steven and Matthew are fantastic minds as well as best sellers of historical fiction. So sitting and chatting it up with them you not only get educated but feel awe inspired in their presence. Well I’d probably be nervous which in turn makes me overly chatty, to the extent one of the guys would be saying can I talk now please. I’m a big fan of them both and a horrible geek of history in general. So this podcast is on my follow list. Cheers to you both on your podcast long may it reign!

It’s like hanging out with two great authors.

This was a really great podcast. Matthew and Steven asked great questions and received great answers from Jason Kingsley. All three have extensive backgrounds in Medieval History. As well as 2000 AD, British Comics and games. Will need to listen again to be sure I heard it all. Will also enjoy it a second time.

Really interesting interview!
