07 Of Grumpkins and Snarks

Ragman’s Harbour

In this episode, your hosts take you on a second cruise through folklore and chivalric romance to discover more real world people-like creatures and humanish people that are just as real as national borders that parallel characters (or not) from ASOIAF/ Game of Thrones.

We still don't mention her because we're horrible people, but you know this episode is in honour of Old Nan, our queen of love and stories <3
