Books, music, role-playing games, wrestling in Featherstone Library and many other digressions await.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-13T02:18:33.743080+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577"},"episode":{"title":"The Warlord of the Air - Part One","slug":"the-warlord-of-the-air-part-one","published_at":"2026-01-02T18:01:05+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577/the-warlord-of-the-air-part-one","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breakfast-in-the-ruins-554577","url":"https://breakfastintheruins.podbean.com/e/the-warlord-of-the-air-part-one/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/bvkmwwc2dkpegi3w/126_Warlord_of_the_Air_Part_One7zcwo.mp3","summary":"We're back... we've crawled out of the ruins of our Christmas and New Year bottles to witness the fantastic world of 1973 through the eyes of Oswald Bastable. Robert MacMillan is my co-pilot for this journey as we have to look up what things are and marvel over Moorcock's invention of a genre that these days seems largely about gluing cogs to pith helmets, tea duels and \"chap-hop\". OR IS IT? I don't know tbh. But Bastable's journey from dependable Man of Empire to temporal adventurer starts here.
