59: Ursula K. Le Guin


Listen Later

Get ready to think about the nature of human existence because today we’re talking to comedian, actor and Baroness Von Sketch star, Aurora Brown (she/her), about the legendary science fiction and fantasy author, URSULA K. LEGUIN. We learn about Leguin’s youth as the child of anthropologists, how she explored societal values in her work, how gender informed her career, her warnings against the steep cost of capitalism and what it feels like when an author blows your mind. Plus, we dive into the purpose and importance of imaginary worlds and have a very serious discussion about becoming a dragon.
