Imaginary Worlds is quite a big deal. It is one of the biggest fantasy podcasts out there and certainly one of the best. It "sounds like what would happen if NPR went to ComicCon."

The host Eric Molinsky talks with comic book artists, game designers, novelists, screenwriters, filmmakers, and fans about how they craft their worlds, why we suspend our disbelief, and what happens if the spell is broken. And last week he was kind enough to talk to us and tell the story of Lone Wolf:

When Joe Dever died in 2016, he hadn’t written the last several books in his Lone Wolf series. Joe’s final wish was that his son Ben would finish the series for him. However, Ben was unfamiliar with his father’s books, and the legions of Lone Wolf fans he would have to please. I talked with Ben Devere (who spells his last name differently) about the creative, practical, and personal struggles he went through as a writer, and how he was able to get to know his late father by immersing himself in his father’s fantasy world. Jonathan Stark, co-host of the official Lone Wolf podcast Journeys Through Magnamund, explains why Lone Wolf means so much to fans like him, and how he ended up fulfilling his own dreams of writing a Lone Wolf book.
