Listen "05 Unnatural Histories"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, your hosts take you on a cruise to discover real world creatures that are extremely real, as our friends the Orcs of Winterfell reminded us, and as attested by medieval bestiaries.
We also draw parallels with what creatures we see in the books A Song of Ice and Fire, A World of Ice and Fire as well as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon the TV shows: dragons, unicorns, wyverns etc. and even weirwood trees!
Tell your friends and even your enemies about this episode, and if you liked what you hear, leave us a firework of stars and rave about us in a review on your podcast app of choice.
