Seanan McGuire joins us once again, but this time not as (Hugo Award Winning) author of (Hugo Award Nominated) Magic Story, but instead as a subject matter expert on Fairy Tales! Seanan has a degree in fairy tales and herpetology, or as she calls it, a "degree in dragons." We discuss some of the history behind the fairy tales represented in Eldraine, including a short aside about venomous snakes and venomous candies.

Thanks to rough internet connections, some audio may be hard to hear or skip a bit. We're sorry, but trying to control the whims of the internet is like trying to court a fae. We're just glad no one was turned into an elk.

For $3 a month, you can listen to us record live, and if Seanan is our guest you're likely to see a cute kitten!
