Episode 122 of The Geek Saga Podcast features live audio from the Red Rising Saga fan panel at Dragon Con 2024.

GEEK SAGA PODCAST ON SPOTIFY

Moderated by Chelsea Darouse and featuring myself, Marcie Aaron, and Marisa Wolf, this panel was a general fan discussion of the Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown. We talked fave characters, fave book in the series so far, whether we prefer Victra over Mustang, and of course, how much MOST of us hate EFFING LYSANDER.

(While some minor sound editing was done to make the original recording somewhat easier on the ears, please keep in mind that this was recorded live and therefore the sound quality is uneven at best.)
