Episode Synopsis

Podcast organizer, Dr. Jill Fennell, speaks with a peer Georgia Tech Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr. Eric Lewis, about verisimilitude’s place in fantasy by discussing the television series A Discovery of Witches. In this episode they discuss our connection to fantasy in terms of the desire for it and its tenuous relationship with verisimilitude. Through their conversation, they discuss much of the first season (2018) of “Disco Witches” to talk about how our enjoyment of fantasy can be related to some “real-seeming” elements within the larger fantastic narrative.
