Legend of the Condor Heroes: A Hero Born
Episode 1
Friday, 23 January, 2026

Consumer warning: this episode contains no Condors. But it does contain an in-depth review of one of the most influencial yet unknown books the fellas have covered on the podcast, the first part of Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes - the Chinese Lord of the Rings.They cover the unbelievable kung fu action, the surprising blend of fantasy and real history, and the best plot twist they've encounter on the podcast yet. Duncan tries very hard to pronounce names correctly this time, whilst Geordie spends too much time on dubious "translate your name into Chinese" websites instead of releasing the episode on time.
