On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, there be dragons here! We talk about the roots, mythology, fossil record, and biblical stories that helped the term of the dragon evolve. But there can’t be dragon talk without China getting in on the act since it used to be illegal to even own a picture of a dragon if you weren’t the emperor. From the story of St. George to Thor and the world serpent, we talk about the global phenomenon of the dragon and the differences (and similarities) of the myth around the world.
