Worldbuilding for Masochists

Episode 134: Print The Legend: Weaving Myth and History into One, ft. NALO HOPKINSON


Listen Later

Where does mythology come from? How does it tie us together? What does one world's mythology tell us about its people, how they view themselves, and their interactions with the divine? We speak to Nalo Hopkinson about myths, mythologies, folklore, and the stories that we tell each other as well as the stories we invent.
