It’s always such a pleasure chatting with John Siuntres on the Word Balloon podcast, and it’s been over three years since we last talked, so there was quite a bit of catching up to do.
As a Toronto dweller it has been so difficult tracking down a copy of the original Conan stories. Everyone seems to be unable to order the old stuff! Where did you find yours?
Yeah I was coming to the same conclusion. Pulled the trigger and will have the set Friday. Oh! Thanks a lot for turning me into a Conan fan. It’s as though an otherworldly presence is compelling me to delve deeper into the maddeningly awesome. All my regulars at the snail have been listening to me go mad.
Ah, catching up on your newsletters, it's too bad that I'll be away in Asia when you're in London!
Ah, sorry to hear that the timing doesn't work out. If you have a friend going to the convention, have them bring a book by to get signed.
It was a fine interview. Had to listen to it in a few parts though 😁
Yeah, it's a long one. John and I chat up a storm.

I ended up ordering the whole set (and other REH books as well) from the U.S. Even with extra fees it worked out better than trying to hunt them down individually: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/A6Y/conan-the-barbarian/

My absolute pleasure...and we'll see if they can't be brought over to this side in time. :)
