      Agreed! I love listening to these on long car rides; his narration is awesome. I just suggested to him that if Netflix actually does option a live action series, we petition to get The Cybrarian hired as narrator!

    Just finished listening to this during a long, drive on cold, late, winter night. What an excellent reading. The effect used by the narrator to change the sound of his voice to reflect the thoughts in Conan's head as sees that the ruins have grown back into a city, created an incredible atmosphere. Really concentrates the mind. Just an awesome read. I listen to all this guys posts.

    A fine job of narration and a fine production overall. One minor whine though; while Howard may have "cardboard" in the original text, I say change that to "...as if stick built". Just my opinion. Thanks for the Conan reading!!

  • @johnswoboda9809

    Another great telling of a classic Conan tale! You have such a wonderful gift for narration and hearing your voice giving life to the descriptions of scenery, characters, and events helps bring it to life even more than reading the stories does. Thank you again for your amazing work!
    As an aside, while I actually really enjoyed the Jason Momoa Conan film and though it was just a fun, episodic romp like many of the original short stories, I had the thought while listening to this telling of "The Devil In Iron": New Zealand actor Manu Bennett would make an AMAZING older Conan, especially his adventures around and after he claims the Aquilonian throne. Please just picture him in a live-action "Scarlet Citadel". And I know I'm typecasting a lot because of The Mummy series, but really, Arnold Vosloo would kill it as Tsotha-lanti; if you have any doubt about his dramatic abilities, watch "Blood Diamond". He stole the movie out from under Leo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou

      @johnswoboda9809 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@hebanker3372 that's true, he would definitely be the shortest live-action Conan, but then Hollywood has always been good at using trick photography, forced perspective, and even things like step stools and boxes out of frame (Demolition Man lol) to make an actor appear larger. Also, Arnold is "only" 6'2" but like Bennett in Spartacus, his sheer physicality and presence really carried the role. There's a lot of the same, often self-contradictory complexity in Crixus as there is in Conan.

      @@johnswoboda9809 Well Arnie wasn't a good Conan either.Don't get me wrong,the first Conan film is great,but Arnie wasn't anything like the literaly barbarian(since Arnie is Austrian,germanic stock,he should be a Hyborian,not a Cimmerian).He was cast because of his physique.
      I think they need to find an actual actor for Conan and then train him for a year or two so he can be muscular.Plus,Bennet is in his 50s,which would strain him badly to become so muscular.The guy who plays Jack Reacher in the new series could be a good choice.

      More prejudice than racism. Howards writings were actually more toned down than his contemporaries, like Lovecraft, who obviously viewed certain races as superior. In Howards world, no race is 'superior' unless technologically like the Stygian's (Egyptians) otherwise each race is usually a cut out of every other person from that race (which was actually more true in ancient times than today, where there was no real melting pot countries of today)
