263 - Fairy Tale Origins with Seanan McGuire

The Vorthos Cast

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. If you want to support our show, you can contribute to our Patreon at Patreon.com/TheVorthosCast, where $1 a month is an incredible bit of support that we will appreciate so very much, and it also gives you access to our Discord server! 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!
