This week we discuss some of the ways in which famous fantasy worlds are built. We talk about Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, Frank Herbert's Dune, and the original short stories of Robert E. Howard's pulp hero Conan the Barbarian.

Welcome to Guide to Elsewhere, a fantasy podcast where Evan and Ben talk imaginary worlds and the authors who create them. Each week we like to read or watch one or more works that appeal to us and use excerpts to examine them. Ben provides a warm, fantasy-inspired soundtrack on acoustic guitar. For anyone listening out there with topics in mind you'd like us to cover, Tweet us @Guide2Elsewhere.
