00:00:41   all-powerful but they seem to be a key [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/41">TS</a>]

00:00:43   element that that uh travels through so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/43">TS</a>]

00:01:06   of it long ago but it got us talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/66">TS</a>]

00:01:34   with dragons and Lisa you wish before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/94">TS</a>]

00:01:37   the podcast Lisa you're saying about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/97">TS</a>]

00:01:39   dragons but I say I haven't read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/99">TS</a>]

00:01:42   anything I haven't sought out or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/102">TS</a>]

00:01:45   consciously looked for any dragon themed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/105">TS</a>]

00:01:47   fantasy since about ninth grade but when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/107">TS</a>]

00:01:50   I learned that anne mccaffrey had died [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/110">TS</a>]

00:01:52   in i believe was november last year I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/112">TS</a>]

00:01:54   was still very affected by it because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/114">TS</a>]

00:01:56   our dragonriders of Pern series was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/116">TS</a>]

00:01:58   something that provided with hours of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/118">TS</a>]

00:02:01   entertainment and daydreaming from about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/121">TS</a>]

00:02:05   fourth grade to eighth grader so and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/125">TS</a>]

00:02:07   when an author who shapes that much of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/127">TS</a>]

00:02:10   your free time during adolescence dies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/130">TS</a>]

00:02:13   it obviously has an effect on you and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/133">TS</a>]

00:02:16   actually prompted by her death I went [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/136">TS</a>]

00:02:18   back and reread many of the books in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/138">TS</a>]

00:02:19   series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/139">TS</a>]

00:02:20   well I recommend that the interesting i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/140">TS</a>]

00:02:22   read them through adult eyes and I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/142">TS</a>]

00:02:24   them coming from the perspective of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/144">TS</a>]

00:02:26   reader in the 21st century [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/146">TS</a>]

00:02:28   and it was interesting to note what what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/148">TS</a>]

00:02:32   held up and and what absolutely does not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/152">TS</a>]

00:02:34   haha yeah i feel we should give mcafee [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/154">TS</a>]

00:02:38   her props because she really did help [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/158">TS</a>]

00:02:40   break open the door for women in science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/160">TS</a>]

00:02:44   fiction a lot of ways I mean she I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/164">TS</a>]

00:02:46   she was one of the first woman to win [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/166">TS</a>]

00:02:47   wasn't a nebula [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/167">TS</a>]

00:02:49   um I have to be I'm not on that up my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/169">TS</a>]

00:02:52   rewards baidu Murder She the the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/172">TS</a>]

00:02:55   that she said her first step series of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/175">TS</a>]

00:02:57   Dragon Rider books with a female [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/177">TS</a>]

00:02:58   protagonist and that it's a woman who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/178">TS</a>]

00:03:01   was doing this was kind of a big deal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/181">TS</a>]

00:03:02   the time and her non dragon work is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/182">TS</a>]

00:03:06   pretty was pretty groundbreaking to this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/186">TS</a>]

00:03:09   there's a series that starts a book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/189">TS</a>]

00:03:10   called the ship was saying oh yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/190">TS</a>]

00:03:13   yeah where were they take the brain of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/193">TS</a>]

00:03:15   they take the brain of the terminally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/195">TS</a>]

00:03:16   lady they stick in a ship and from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/196">TS</a>]

00:03:18   splits it leave it it's a classic riff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/198">TS</a>]

00:03:21   on a trip that you saw a lot in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/201">TS</a>]

00:03:23   period because I can also remember i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/203">TS</a>]

00:03:25   think a ray bradbury or Harlan Ellison [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/205">TS</a>]

00:03:27   story about an autistic person who was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/207">TS</a>]

00:03:29   sent to explore another planet and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/209">TS</a>]

00:03:31   argument was well since their brain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/211">TS</a>]

00:03:33   processes things differently they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/213">TS</a>]

00:03:34   able to their able to parse the data [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/214">TS</a>]

00:03:37   from different planets more effectively [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/217">TS</a>]

00:03:38   than humans and robots can so you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/218">TS</a>]

00:03:40   clearly the idea that differently abled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/220">TS</a>]

00:03:42   people could bring experiences and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/222">TS</a>]

00:03:45   perspectives to the table that humankind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/225">TS</a>]

00:03:46   could use and therefore their valuable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/226">TS</a>]

00:03:48   like that wasn't that reverberate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/228">TS</a>]

00:03:49   through science fiction the sixties and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/229">TS</a>]

00:03:50   seventies McCaffrey picked it up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/230">TS</a>]

00:03:52   embroidered it turned into an epic space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/232">TS</a>]

00:03:54   romance [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/234">TS</a>]

00:03:54   um but looping back to the Dragons of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/234">TS</a>]

00:04:00   is painfully evident she was never a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/240">TS</a>]

00:04:02   biologist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/242">TS</a>]

00:04:03   oh yeah oh well and and the unfortunate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/243">TS</a>]

00:04:08   thing is I i did trained as a biologist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/248">TS</a>]

00:04:10   LOL well the thing is if she mentions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/250">TS</a>]

00:04:14   all up in McCaffrey's planet all of her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/254">TS</a>]

00:04:17   dragons teleport and someone wants to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/257">TS</a>]

00:04:20   ask for water the Dragons go to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/260">TS</a>]

00:04:21   bathroom she goes well they obviously go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/261">TS</a>]

00:04:23   to the bathroom and the teleportation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/263">TS</a>]

00:04:24   avoid so nobody ever has to show you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/264">TS</a>]

00:04:26   medicine and bearing in mind when I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/266">TS</a>]

00:04:30   in sixth grade and skipping out cat's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/270">TS</a>]

00:04:31   litter boxes i thought this is a great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/271">TS</a>]

00:04:33   thing all be hard it's it's it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/273">TS</a>]

00:04:35   telepathic best friend you never have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/275">TS</a>]

00:04:37   clean up after and it will love me a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/277">TS</a>]

00:04:38   defendant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/278">TS</a>]

00:04:39   lima over the planet mom because you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/279">TS</a>]

00:04:42   don't want is your buddy all you do you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/282">TS</a>]

00:04:44   do your dream especially picked but then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/284">TS</a>]

00:04:46   you read this is somebody who's an adult [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/286">TS</a>]

00:04:48   and who has you know taking psychology [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/288">TS</a>]

00:04:50   courses and all I could think was that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/290">TS</a>]

00:04:52   an awful lot of biomass that's getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/292">TS</a>]

00:04:55   deposited to avoid the most kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/295">TS</a>]

00:04:58   closed system so basically the depleting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/298">TS</a>]

00:05:00   the planet over time with dragon poop [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/300">TS</a>]

00:05:02   how's that sustainable this is not a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/302">TS</a>]

00:05:04   phosphorus on that planet anymore it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/304">TS</a>]

00:05:05   terrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/305">TS</a>]

00:05:06   boron is the thing that she's decided to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/306">TS</a>]

00:05:08   use it also makes no sense i looked at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/308">TS</a>]

00:05:12   and she thought she was the first woman [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/312">TS</a>]

00:05:13   to win any nebula of any kind and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/313">TS</a>]

00:05:16   first woman to win the hugo there yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/316">TS</a>]

00:05:19   yeah yeah yeah she was groundbreaking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/319">TS</a>]

00:05:21   and you know when again as an adolescent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/321">TS</a>]

00:05:24   in the early eighties when a lot of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/324">TS</a>]

00:05:27   very visible space and fantasy things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/327">TS</a>]

00:05:29   are exposed to primarily male like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/329">TS</a>]

00:05:31   Hamid or the lord of the rings or on TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/331">TS</a>]

00:05:34   there with star blazers or star trek to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/334">TS</a>]

00:05:36   have this world where you know women [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/336">TS</a>]

00:05:38   were effectively running the show and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/338">TS</a>]

00:05:40   could impress these huge dragons and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/340">TS</a>]

00:05:42   have adventures and and become equal to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/342">TS</a>]

00:05:46   men that was tremendously exciting and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/346">TS</a>]

00:05:48   it wasn't until much much later that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/348">TS</a>]

00:05:50   really really well but then I realized [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/350">TS</a>]

00:05:51   that really the dragons are just kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/351">TS</a>]

00:05:53   giant wish-fulfillment machines they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/353">TS</a>]

00:05:56   giant metaphors [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/356">TS</a>]

00:05:59   yeah there's not a whole lot of cultural [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/359">TS</a>]

00:06:01   resonance but you know as a book series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/361">TS</a>]

00:06:03   it's something that you know I what some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/363">TS</a>]

00:06:05   kids go through horse faces i went [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/365">TS</a>]

00:06:07   through dragonface i noticed we have you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/367">TS</a>]

00:06:08   know what kind a few different authors [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/368">TS</a>]

00:06:09   in our list year were compiling series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/369">TS</a>]

00:06:11   and a lot of them are female authors and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/371">TS</a>]

00:06:13   I've wondered if that's I mean this end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/373">TS</a>]

00:06:15   and writing in that period of time into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/375">TS</a>]

00:06:17   the essence of the most notable Ursula K [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/377">TS</a>]

00:06:19   Le Guin dragons are a key theme in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/379">TS</a>]

00:06:22   RC novels which I remember reading as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/382">TS</a>]

00:06:25   kid and just loving and then she did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/385">TS</a>]

00:06:29   this amazing thing where she completely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/389">TS</a>]

00:06:30   wreck on her history with the other wind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/390">TS</a>]

00:06:35   which is a beautiful book and strange [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/395">TS</a>]

00:06:37   and different sort of recast all of your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/397">TS</a>]

00:06:39   thinking about her work from 20 years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/399">TS</a>]

00:06:40   before and then there's the Temeraire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/400">TS</a>]

00:06:43   series by naomi is lasting a blanking at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/403">TS</a>]

00:06:46   the moment and think no Vic isn't it yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/406">TS</a>]

00:06:49   sochi in the temperature is modern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/409">TS</a>]

00:09:13   dragon journey for communication miss [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/553">TS</a>]

00:09:15   tonight again with the burn things I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/555">TS</a>]

00:09:18   went in the cafe decide to write the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/558">TS</a>]

00:09:19   origin of the Dragons she has a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/559">TS</a>]

00:09:21   geneticist go in and engineer them so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/561">TS</a>]

00:09:23   they're telepathic and she did in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/563">TS</a>]

00:09:27   engineer also builds in a failed state [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/567">TS</a>]

00:09:28   that the Dragons have to find a human to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/568">TS</a>]

00:09:31   whom will be subordinate otherwise [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/571">TS</a>]

00:09:33   they'll die in the reasons as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/573">TS</a>]

00:09:34   fail-safe is because the last thing you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/574">TS</a>]

00:09:35   want is an independently thinking alpha [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/575">TS</a>]

00:09:37   predator uncontrolled rampaging this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/577">TS</a>]

00:09:40   planet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/580">TS</a>]

00:09:40   um but the magic element I i wonder if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/580">TS</a>]

00:09:46   it has something to do with the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/586">TS</a>]

00:09:46   that dragons are so ubiquitous in human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/586">TS</a>]

00:09:50   cultures and have been since bc times i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/590">TS</a>]

00:09:53   remember reading an article in The New [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/593">TS</a>]

00:09:54   York Times a couple years ago that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/594">TS</a>]

00:09:55   pointed out that dragons have hit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/595">TS</a>]

00:09:57   virtually every continent save [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/597">TS</a>]

00:09:59   Antarctica every single almost every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/599">TS</a>]

00:10:01   continent has a civilization that has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/601">TS</a>]

00:10:03   had dragons as part of its mythology [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/603">TS</a>]

00:10:05   lower creation story and one person was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/605">TS</a>]

00:10:08   the arising that this is because a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/608">TS</a>]

00:10:10   dragon is essentially an amalgamation of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/610">TS</a>]

00:10:11   a bear you know in terms of the body [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/611">TS</a>]

00:10:14   size proportion and of Reptoids like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/614">TS</a>]

00:10:17   snakes and Komodo dragons and of big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/617">TS</a>]

00:10:19   cats and those are the kind of predators [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/619">TS</a>]

00:10:21   that were most likely to pick off for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/621">TS</a>]

00:10:23   fish ancestors and so if this this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/623">TS</a>]

00:10:25   amalgamation of alpha predators that can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/625">TS</a>]

00:10:27   kill us has been in our subconscious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/627">TS</a>]

00:10:29   since we were preferable dragons our way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/629">TS</a>]

00:10:32   that we ve atmosphere and and try to try [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/632">TS</a>]

00:10:35   to turn to something divine I feel like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/635">TS</a>]

00:10:37   some of our will old myths are very much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/637">TS</a>]

00:10:40   you know they indicate this as well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/640">TS</a>]

00:10:42   because like all the old myths are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/642">TS</a>]

00:10:44   dragons are bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/644">TS</a>]

00:10:45   they're here they're scary and they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/645">TS</a>]

00:10:47   to be defeated like st. george of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/647">TS</a>]

00:10:49   Dragon and you know the the myth of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/649">TS</a>]

00:11:57   what it reads like them is you know the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/717">TS</a>]

00:11:58   real military battle she thought out how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/718">TS</a>]

00:12:00   you would have military engagements [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/720">TS</a>]

00:12:02   among you know a lot about a dragon some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/722">TS</a>]

00:12:05   which can breathe fire and they can fly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/725">TS</a>]

00:12:06   and you have the outfit the dragons are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/726">TS</a>]

00:12:09   like ships so they have these guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/729">TS</a>]

00:12:10   strapped with carabiners all over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/730">TS</a>]

00:12:24   with the bonding in the dragonriders of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/744">TS</a>]

00:12:26   Pern you know now we know that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/746">TS</a>]

00:12:29   clearly playing towards that is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/749">TS</a>]

00:12:30   Dragons bond even in the egg I think to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/750">TS</a>]

00:12:33   someone and that person is sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/753">TS</a>]

00:12:39   middle of nowhere with the Dragons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/759">TS</a>]

00:12:40   they're basically I kind of a band so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/760">TS</a>]

00:12:42   the story of the novel start with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/762">TS</a>]

00:13:23   was one of the first sort of dragon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/803">TS</a>]

00:13:25   books that i read and i I've kept my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/805">TS</a>]

00:13:26   copy to the years and they were very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/806">TS</a>]

00:13:28   well and I i have to agree that that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/808">TS</a>]

00:13:32   the dragonriders of Pern serious did not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/812">TS</a>]

00:13:35   wear nearly falling from i started [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/815">TS</a>]

00:13:38   rereading the the dragonriders of Pern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/818">TS</a>]

00:13:41   the the one with lesson Jackson then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/821">TS</a>]

00:13:45   characters just didn't really behave [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/825">TS</a>]

00:13:48   quite like I remember them but no no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/828">TS</a>]

00:13:50   they really don't do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/830">TS</a>]

00:13:51   no it's it's so unfortunate because i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/831">TS</a>]

00:13:54   love them so much when I was like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/834">TS</a>]

00:13:56   old and then there's like portion has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/836">TS</a>]

00:13:58   like the the romance of riding a horse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/838">TS</a>]

00:14:00   that the verses are already horse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/840">TS</a>]

00:14:02   I don't know the reality of riding horse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/842">TS</a>]

00:14:04   is actually very often and once they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/844">TS</a>]

00:14:06   don't think the reality of taking care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/846">TS</a>]

00:14:07   of a horse I bet your partner practical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/847">TS</a>]

00:14:08   part of the problem is to is again when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/848">TS</a>]

00:14:10   you read these books through the 21st [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/850">TS</a>]

00:14:12   century perspective these characters or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/852">TS</a>]

00:14:14   either very poorly served by the author [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/854">TS</a>]

00:14:17   was a mccafe really seems to have it in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/857">TS</a>]

00:14:19   for a sort of women where they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/859">TS</a>]

00:14:20   simultaneously awesome insufferable um [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/860">TS</a>]

00:14:23   and the men are just as high-handed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/863">TS</a>]

00:14:26   bossy you snobs maybe it's except for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/866">TS</a>]

00:14:30   the very select few and the way she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/870">TS</a>]

00:14:32   writes gay men is just the way she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/872">TS</a>]

00:14:35   raised the game is just a hate crime and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/875">TS</a>]

00:14:37   it's for its time period [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/877">TS</a>]

00:14:41   well II and again we should probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/881">TS</a>]

00:14:43   give her credit for incorporating them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/883">TS</a>]

00:14:45   as healthy functioning matter-of-fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/885">TS</a>]

00:14:46   members in a society because that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/886">TS</a>]

00:14:49   pretty rare in the sixties and seventies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/889">TS</a>]

00:14:50   and and to be honest i missed it when i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/890">TS</a>]

00:14:54   first started reading the books as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/894">TS</a>]

00:14:55   fourth and fifth grader it wasn't until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/895">TS</a>]

00:14:56   like the penny dropped during puberty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/896">TS</a>]

00:14:58   that I'm like hey wait a minute and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/898">TS</a>]

00:15:02   know so credit McCaffrey for being able [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/902">TS</a>]

00:15:03   to write it in that way but then when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/903">TS</a>]

00:15:05   you go back and again you read the books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/905">TS</a>]

00:15:07   you're like wow this this is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/907">TS</a>]

00:15:18   i'm not a game of thrones watcher but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/918">TS</a>]

00:15:20   understand other dragons and game is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/920">TS</a>]

00:15:22   thrown in there are a game of thrones [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/922">TS</a>]

00:15:25   yeah there's some there are definitely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/925">TS</a>]

00:15:26   dragons and they're not as they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/926">TS</a>]

00:15:30   really characters per se i feel like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/930">TS</a>]

00:15:32   they're more plot points the the exiled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/932">TS</a>]

00:15:35   queen and spoiler by the way I'm wearing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/935">TS</a>]

00:15:40   what I'm wearing right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/940">TS</a>]

00:15:42   [Music] [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/942">TS</a>]

00:15:46   so she has these three dragon eggs that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/946">TS</a>]

00:15:49   she gets as a present when she gets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/949">TS</a>]

00:15:50   married and after her husband dies she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/950">TS</a>]

00:15:54   put them in the fire and they like maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/954">TS</a>]

00:15:56   they've been stone forever and put them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/956">TS</a>]

00:15:59   in the fire husband's funeral pyre and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/959">TS</a>]

00:16:01   they emerge and they the first time that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/961">TS</a>]

00:16:06   anybody seen dragons in the world for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/966">TS</a>]

00:16:08   like hundreds of years and so is it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/968">TS</a>]

00:16:10   the symbol of her old family so it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/970">TS</a>]

00:16:13   like she's coming back her family's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/973">TS</a>]

00:16:15   coming back into power and you know the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/975">TS</a>]

00:16:17   Dragons for it like a herald of that so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/977">TS</a>]

00:16:19   i have to say the dragons are not really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/979">TS</a>]

00:16:21   they're talking about a lot but they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/981">TS</a>]

00:16:24   not much as characters in the game of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/984">TS</a>]

00:16:27   thrones like Harry Potter or two is you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/987">TS</a>]

00:16:29   know you have all the dragons throughout [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/989">TS</a>]

00:16:30   harrypotter but they're not actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/990">TS</a>]

00:16:31   that interesting there's sort of plot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/991">TS</a>]

00:16:33   devices and they don't have they seem to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/993">TS</a>]

00:16:35   be kind of dumb beasts I i like how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/995">TS</a>]

00:16:37   they're basically the fantasy equivalent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/997">TS</a>]

00:16:39   of the Yellowstone wolves because you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/999">TS</a>]

00:16:42   know the u.s. Park Service has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1002">TS</a>]

00:16:43   involved in improving the wolves in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1003">TS</a>]

00:16:46   Yellowstone and tracking them and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1006">TS</a>]

00:16:48   studying them and basically you have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1008">TS</a>]

00:16:50   bunch of wizards who are or who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1010">TS</a>]

00:16:52   magical ecologists and their job is to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1012">TS</a>]

00:16:55   identify always different species of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1015">TS</a>]

00:16:57   dragons and keep them on a preserve and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1017">TS</a>]

00:16:59   monitor their well-being and make sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:01   that they're not being hunted to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1021">TS</a>]

00:17:02   extinction abuse and I thought that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:03   just a wonderful colorful detail on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1023">TS</a>]

00:17:05   books that you know they don't learn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:08   rigorous science at Hogwarts but they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1028">TS</a>]

00:17:12   certainly do practice a sort of ethology [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:13   ecology and I thought that was really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1033">TS</a>]

00:17:15   cool [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1035">TS</a>]

00:17:16   that's agree that's very funny I never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1036">TS</a>]

00:17:18   thought about the way it's true it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1038">TS</a>]

00:17:19   end what you contribute to the dragon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1039">TS</a>]

00:17:25   minutes possibly disorder one of my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1045">TS</a>]

00:17:28   favorite um one of my favorite discworld [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:31   books is guards guards and it's the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1051">TS</a>]

00:17:33   that introduces a character who arguably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:36   has become the moral linchpin of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1056">TS</a>]

00:17:38   discworld universe i'm talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1058">TS</a>]

00:17:40   terry pratchett discworld but in guards [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1060">TS</a>]

00:17:42   guards what happens is somebody who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1062">TS</a>]

00:17:44   wants to take over as cities throne [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1064">TS</a>]

00:17:46   summons a dragon from the dimensions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1066">TS</a>]

00:17:47   wizards and exiled them and naturally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:52   the dragon then becomes the king of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1072">TS</a>]

00:17:53   city but the citizen at the same time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:58   dragon fun because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1078">TS</a>]

00:18:00   in the discworld society matrons instead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:03   of breeding horses and dogs actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1083">TS</a>]

00:18:05   breathe miniature dragons and they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:09   pedigrees for them in shows but the joke [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1089">TS</a>]

00:18:11   is these dragons always blowing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1091">TS</a>]

00:18:12   themselves up because they're their body [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1092">TS</a>]

00:18:16   they try to set something on fire they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:17   end up exploding oh dear the discworld [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1097">TS</a>]

00:18:22   um you know that the kid that the idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1102">TS</a>]

00:18:26   of dry dragons as part of a magical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1106">TS</a>]

00:18:36   over your mind and I happen to live in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1116">TS</a>]

00:18:38   different dimension because I can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1118">TS</a>]

00:18:39   stand humanity you know mythical beasts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1119">TS</a>]

00:18:42   dragons are always it's like a genie or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1122">TS</a>]

00:18:45   something i always only solutions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1125">TS</a>]

00:18:47   depending on the book but they're often [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1127">TS</a>]

00:18:48   like only slightly under control and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1128">TS</a>]

00:18:50   they could in a moment you know p.m. [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1130">TS</a>]

00:18:51   world-spanning destroying beast or at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1131">TS</a>]

00:18:54   least wipe out some cities all the stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1134">TS</a>]

00:18:56   that were talking about like we all seem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1136">TS</a>]

00:18:58   to be referencing stuff that was written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1138">TS</a>]

00:18:59   within a pretty specific period [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1139">TS</a>]

00:19:01   um and I was wondering if if the dragons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1141">TS</a>]

00:19:05   moment has passed or dragons are or are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1145">TS</a>]

00:19:07   not trendy right now and if that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1147">TS</a>]

00:19:09   reflection of water pop culture or if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1149">TS</a>]

00:19:12   this is a reflection of the fact that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1152">TS</a>]

00:19:15   we're all out of our our teens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1155">TS</a>]

00:19:18   well I think too that mean there's two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:19   popular series though I mean the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1159">TS</a>]

00:19:21   temporary series i don't think is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1161">TS</a>]

00:19:22   like wild bestsellers I think they've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1162">TS</a>]

00:28:11   stick in RR pre-show notes in Gabrielle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1691">TS</a>]

00:28:15   case for his fantasy epic the field of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1695">TS</a>]

00:28:16   our tapestry which is made up of three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1696">TS</a>]

00:28:18   separate novels on the longest road the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1698">TS</a>]

00:28:21   wandering fire and the summer tree and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1701">TS</a>]

00:28:24   just name them in reverse order by the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1704">TS</a>]

00:28:26   way I'm anyway there are two instances [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1706">TS</a>]

00:28:30   of dragons in that series and the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1710">TS</a>]

00:28:33   is a dragon that was read by the forces [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1713">TS</a>]

00:28:36   of darkness and has been biding its time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1716">TS</a>]

00:28:38   for thousands of years and is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1718">TS</a>]

00:28:41   basically mindless killing machine and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1721">TS</a>]

00:28:43   then there's a second dragon and it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1723">TS</a>]

00:28:45   dragon that's definitely made of crystal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1725">TS</a>]

00:28:47   but the thing is um it is apparently the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1727">TS</a>]

00:28:50   foundational force for a doorman [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1730">TS</a>]

00:28:51   civilization this this this civilization [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1731">TS</a>]

00:28:54   of doors evolved to serve [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1734">TS</a>]

00:28:55   the dragon into worship her in a weird [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1735">TS</a>]

00:28:58   kind of Episcopalian way where they just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1738">TS</a>]

00:29:00   have really nice public spaces and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1740">TS</a>]

00:29:03   make statues and then just go about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1743">TS</a>]

00:29:04   their daughters business but this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1744">TS</a>]

00:29:06   dragons obviously supposed to represent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:07   some sort of civilizing force and over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1747">TS</a>]

00:29:11   the course of the massive three-book war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1751">TS</a>]

00:29:13   it's evident that the two dragons are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1753">TS</a>]

00:29:15   supposed to be headed for a showdown [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1755">TS</a>]

00:29:17   but what happens instead is some young [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1757">TS</a>]

00:29:19   upstart takes his unicorn uses it to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1759">TS</a>]

00:29:21   kill a dragon instead so the world and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1761">TS</a>]

00:29:24   themes colliding also its a spoiler horn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1764">TS</a>]

00:29:28   but the series is like 30 years old so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1768">TS</a>]

00:29:30   you deserve to be spoiled if you haven't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1770">TS</a>]

00:29:32   read it but but if it was it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1772">TS</a>]

00:29:37   interesting because they use the unicorn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1777">TS</a>]

00:29:38   in a purely Marshall sense throughout [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1778">TS</a>]

00:29:40   that entire series where the unicorn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1780">TS</a>]

00:29:43   descends from whatever divine plan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1783">TS</a>]

00:29:45   happens to have lift on it bonds with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1785">TS</a>]

00:29:54   Unicorn to battle the Unicorn is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1794">TS</a>]

00:29:56   basically a living sword he kills things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1796">TS</a>]

00:29:58   and that he comes home wipes off the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1798">TS</a>]

00:29:59   blood hangs with the uniform until the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1799">TS</a>]

00:33:07   unicorns are not quite the subject of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1987">TS</a>]

00:33:09   this podcast so well it's funny I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1989">TS</a>]

00:33:11   we have the unicorn dragon dialectic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1991">TS</a>]

00:33:13   aerate the the battlements we are the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1993">TS</a>]

00:33:15   first it's the battle between the forces [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1995">TS</a>]

00:33:18   but even that's I think that's what it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/1998">TS</a>]

00:33:20   comes down to for me is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2000">TS</a>]

00:33:21   I've been trying to figure out this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2001">TS</a>]

00:33:23   we started talking with the podcast [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2003">TS</a>]

00:33:24   while ago is is you know it is it plays [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2004">TS</a>]

00:33:27   a convenient plot device you know we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2007">TS</a>]

00:33:29   talked about it being a maybe an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2009">TS</a>]

00:33:31   archetype temple thing that's deeply [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2011">TS</a>]

00:33:33   rooted in our brains for some reason you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2013">TS</a>]

00:33:36   know unicorns also seem to be all over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2016">TS</a>]

00:33:38   the place and they're in across there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2018">TS</a>]

00:33:40   sort of a common trope to and if dragons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2020">TS</a>]

00:33:43   disappeared we get more unicorns they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2023">TS</a>]

00:33:45   start populating the universe more I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2025">TS</a>]

00:33:47   don't know maybe goes it with the whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:49   big information society type of thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2029">TS</a>]

00:33:51   where there's no longer huge frontiers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2031">TS</a>]

00:33:54   to team with big myth with big dangerous [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2034">TS</a>]

00:33:56   animals that could kill you and we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2036">TS</a>]

00:33:58   now got to the point where we're trying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2038">TS</a>]

00:34:00   to coexist with the species that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2040">TS</a>]

00:34:02   still left in a highly regulated world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2042">TS</a>]

00:34:05   I mean you think about we we we live in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2045">TS</a>]

00:34:07   a world where TV show is just shut down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2047">TS</a>]

00:34:09   because three brace horses were died [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2049">TS</a>]

00:34:11   during the filming of the episode of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2051">TS</a>]

00:34:12   business [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2052">TS</a>]

00:34:13   what was that it was luck which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2053">TS</a>]

00:34:17   intensely pedigreed show on HBO i'm in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2057">TS</a>]

00:34:20   Dustin Hoffman was in it and it had a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2060">TS</a>]

00:34:22   great cast and David melt was behind it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2062">TS</a>]

00:34:24   is generally top of the field but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2064">TS</a>]

00:34:27   because it was a show about horses at a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2067">TS</a>]

00:34:28   racetrack [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2068">TS</a>]

00:34:29   I'm over the course of filming the 13 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2069">TS</a>]

00:34:31   episodes that will make up the series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2071">TS</a>]

00:34:33   three different horses had to be put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2073">TS</a>]

00:34:34   down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2074">TS</a>]

00:34:35   no dear and it's raised a lot of well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2075">TS</a>]

00:34:38   it's it's raised questions that people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2078">TS</a>]

00:34:39   have been asking for years about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2079">TS</a>]

00:34:43   moral and ethical obligations of using [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2083">TS</a>]

00:34:45   animals for entertainment and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2085">TS</a>]

00:34:48   as a society first-world Westerners are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2088">TS</a>]

00:34:51   kind of moving into a new phase of our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2091">TS</a>]

00:34:53   relationship with animals we no longer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2093">TS</a>]

00:34:55   regard them as beasts of burden and as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2095">TS</a>]

00:34:58   and as food and as a commodity to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2098">TS</a>]

00:35:02   bred and used as we please where we are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2102">TS</a>]

00:35:05   now beginning to get to the point were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2105">TS</a>]

00:35:07   actively concerned about the emotional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2107">TS</a>]

00:35:08   lives of animals and their living [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2108">TS</a>]

00:35:09   conditions and what our moral [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2109">TS</a>]

00:35:11   responsibility to two other two other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2111">TS</a>]

00:35:16   you know living systems on this planet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2116">TS</a>]

00:35:18   are and so maybe fantasy is beginning to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2118">TS</a>]

00:35:21   reflect that because we're going from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2121">TS</a>]

00:35:22   less of a how can i use and exert my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2122">TS</a>]

00:35:24   dominion over this uncomfortable force [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2124">TS</a>]

00:35:26   into how do i maintain my status is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2126">TS</a>]

00:35:31   moral or ethical being while working [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2131">TS</a>]

00:35:33   with completely different species [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2133">TS</a>]

00:35:35   you see reflected a lot of different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2135">TS</a>]

00:35:39   ways i think too i mean that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2139">TS</a>]

00:35:40   interesting you bring that up in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2140">TS</a>]

00:35:42   relationship to I mean there's there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2142">TS</a>]

00:35:44   the older areas of both fantasy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2144">TS</a>]

00:35:47   science fiction which were not just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2147">TS</a>]

00:35:49   male-dominated it was these great you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2149">TS</a>]

00:35:50   know empires and things crashing to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2150">TS</a>]

00:35:53   ground and huge forces and everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2153">TS</a>]

00:35:56   had to be subject to the will of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2156">TS</a>]

00:35:58   whatever the wizard or the king and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2158">TS</a>]

00:36:01   forth and forces arrayed and then as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2161">TS</a>]

00:36:03   things become more and more morally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2163">TS</a>]

00:36:05   ambiguous like well you know we own this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2165">TS</a>]

00:36:07   dragons like to really own the dragon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2167">TS</a>]

00:36:09   and you everyone a dragon maybe the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2169">TS</a>]

00:36:11   dragon is leasing itself to you and its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:12   really got its own power and his dragons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2172">TS</a>]

00:36:14   you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2174">TS</a>]

00:36:15   that's what I would be actually very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2175">TS</a>]

00:36:17   curious to see when all these books are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2177">TS</a>]

00:36:19   written and then like what exactly the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2179">TS</a>]

00:36:21   relationship that the dragon is with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2181">TS</a>]

00:36:22   human part is if any will leave the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2182">TS</a>]

00:36:27   reader there's a reader reader exercise [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2187">TS</a>]

00:36:29   would you please restart the areas but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2189">TS</a>]

00:36:31   yeah it's a big money it's also i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2191">TS</a>]

00:36:34   i'm trying to think back historically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2194">TS</a>]

00:36:36   you know even like reading for the 19th [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2196">TS</a>]

00:36:39   century I know that fantasy is not a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2199">TS</a>]

00:36:41   monitor John response fiction is of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2201">TS</a>]

00:36:43   course you know at least you have to go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2203">TS</a>]

00:36:45   back to the eighteen eighties or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:46   something but I'm a the job of the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2206">TS</a>]

00:36:49   idea of having fantastical animals in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2209">TS</a>]

00:36:52   books isn't new but they're used very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2212">TS</a>]

00:36:54   allegorically and I can't think of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2214">TS</a>]

00:36:56   examples before the 20th century in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2216">TS</a>]

00:36:58   which you would have you know these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2218">TS</a>]

00:37:00   giant beasts maybe it was partly because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2220">TS</a>]

00:37:02   we didn't believe that anything that big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2222">TS</a>]

00:37:03   existed you know in the Western in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2223">TS</a>]

00:37:06   Western literature at least that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2226">TS</a>]

00:37:07   didn't have experience with you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2227">TS</a>]

00:37:09   elephants and we went to Africa or will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2229">TS</a>]

00:37:11   be reports back that sounded ridiculous [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2231">TS</a>]

00:37:12   or fighting skeletons of dinosaurs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2232">TS</a>]

00:37:15   things like that the bones of dinosaurs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2235">TS</a>]

00:37:16   that it was just beyond the scope of we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2236">TS</a>]

00:37:19   can encompass so it's sort of a modern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2239">TS</a>]

00:37:21   phenomenon even think about stuff that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2241">TS</a>]

00:37:23   that big now bear in mind i know my not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2243">TS</a>]

00:37:27   my I have no survey knowledge of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2247">TS</a>]

00:37:29   literature in the 15th to 18th centuries [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2249">TS</a>]

00:37:32   um Big Apple the education but from what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2252">TS</a>]

00:37:36   I can recall of history of up from my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2256">TS</a>]

00:38:43   casual bigger than there's also a they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2323">TS</a>]

00:38:46   did this go back as far as I think at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2326">TS</a>]

00:38:47   least the 12th century of Marco Polo and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2327">TS</a>]

00:38:49   then he was he was describing unicorns [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2329">TS</a>]

00:38:52   but he was actually describing like when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2332">TS</a>]

00:38:53   Officer I think that's right that's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2333">TS</a>]

00:38:56   the the manatees being mistaken for her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2336">TS</a>]

00:38:59   mates because he's perfect those were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2339">TS</a>]

00:39:02   some lonely since then and I think even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2342">TS</a>]

00:39:05   goes back rather than that there and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2345">TS</a>]

00:39:07   soon i remember there being a camera [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2347">TS</a>]

00:39:09   name but there's this Greek a traveler [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2349">TS</a>]

00:39:11   who travels in released and then found [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2351">TS</a>]

00:39:13   him fantastic piece i would have to go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2353">TS</a>]

00:39:15   looking up again but Jason and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2355">TS</a>]

00:39:17   Argonauts uh did that's a myth all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2357">TS</a>]

00:39:19   centered on its own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2359">TS</a>]

00:39:21   oh I was talking about his historical I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2361">TS</a>]

00:39:24   know you mean around and come together [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2364">TS</a>]

00:39:26   was a facilities but it was um yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2366">TS</a>]

00:39:29   right because he brought yeah his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2369">TS</a>]

00:39:31   reports were a mix of like complete [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2371">TS</a>]

00:39:32   fiction and and historical accuracy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2372">TS</a>]

00:39:34   right so that yeah people took them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2374">TS</a>]

00:39:36   hundreds years to figure out what it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2376">TS</a>]

00:39:37   actually was actually real elsewhere in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2377">TS</a>]

00:39:39   the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2379">TS</a>]

00:39:40   yeah exactly i so i think we definitely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2380">TS</a>]

00:39:42   like have these stories where people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2382">TS</a>]

00:39:45   were had this story where they would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2385">TS</a>]

00:39:50   just say like oh my god I went to this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2390">TS</a>]

00:39:52   place and I saw these big things like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2392">TS</a>]

00:39:54   you will not believe the things I saw [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:57   and and what's really interesting about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2397">TS</a>]

00:39:59   these books the books that we've listed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2399">TS</a>]

00:40:01   here the more modern ones that people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2401">TS</a>]

00:40:03   are they're not really like oh no not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2403">TS</a>]

00:40:06   you won't believe what I saw anymore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2406">TS</a>]

00:40:08   they're all like oh well we've now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2408">TS</a>]

00:40:10   created this world you know you do is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2410">TS</a>]

00:40:11   we're going to try and make it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2411">TS</a>]

00:40:12   believable as possible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2412">TS</a>]

00:40:15   that's funny so we really so we've come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2415">TS</a>]

00:40:17   to this so i think our panel conclusion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2417">TS</a>]

00:40:19   is that a is that the more of the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2419">TS</a>]

00:40:22   that we know the lesser is to explore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2422">TS</a>]

00:40:23   the more these things that are sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2423">TS</a>]

00:40:25   outside like dragons or improbable like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2425">TS</a>]

00:40:28   an acquaintance they've been pushed out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2428">TS</a>]

00:40:29   right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2429">TS</a>]

00:40:30   it is an ecological problems notice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2430">TS</a>]

00:40:32   there's no niche left for them in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2432">TS</a>]

00:40:33   fantasy month so all we posit this then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2433">TS</a>]

00:40:35   so is the alien series of movies are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2435">TS</a>]

00:40:38   those the Dragons of outer space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2438">TS</a>]

00:40:40   you know their their scaly they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2440">TS</a>]

00:40:42   freaky they breathe fire in the form of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2442">TS</a>]

00:40:44   acid they kill people are arguing is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2444">TS</a>]

00:40:46   that was that we had to push them with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2446">TS</a>]

00:40:48   exiled in the outer space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2448">TS</a>]

00:40:49   definitely definitely and they're such I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2449">TS</a>]

00:40:53   think I don't know that I agree i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2453">TS</a>]

00:40:56   it's more just you know generic bad guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2456">TS</a>]

00:40:59   how do you make something that's scary [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2459">TS</a>]

00:41:01   well the saurian species as always it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2461">TS</a>]

00:41:03   always lizard people right we're always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2463">TS</a>]

00:41:05   freaked out about lizard people in outer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2465">TS</a>]

00:41:06   space and the insect people definitely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2466">TS</a>]

00:41:09   to the whole yet that's you know that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2469">TS</a>]

00:41:11   a subject for the podcast always want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2471">TS</a>]

00:41:13   talk about the great writer James T at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2473">TS</a>]

00:41:16   Tiptree jr. Alice Sheldon we will do a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2476">TS</a>]

00:41:19   podcast I'm trying to some enough people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2479">TS</a>]

00:41:21   to read her because she's so if you read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2481">TS</a>]

00:41:24   James Tiptree too much your soul dies a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2484">TS</a>]

00:41:26   little bit even as it flies in the air [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2486">TS</a>]

00:41:28   its people must read her biography it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2488">TS</a>]

00:41:31   a marvelous she's a kick crazy but she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2491">TS</a>]

00:41:33   is she is these novels these insect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2493">TS</a>]

00:41:35   characters who are always being preyed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2495">TS</a>]

00:41:37   upon because they're been tortured their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2497">TS</a>]

00:41:40   tears are producing alcohol finer than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2500">TS</a>]

00:41:43   any substance in the universe perfect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2503">TS</a>]

00:41:45   tiptree but we are sort of freaked out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2505">TS</a>]

00:41:48   about insects but I think about saurian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2508">TS</a>]

00:41:50   species and star trek with the skirt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2510">TS</a>]

00:41:54   coming to make his makeshift weapon to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2514">TS</a>]

00:41:55   kill the poor the disabled the lizard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2515">TS</a>]

00:41:58   creature and it is in the original [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2518">TS</a>]

00:42:00   series of V there's that mean that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2520">TS</a>]

00:42:03   people have this whole thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2523">TS</a>]

00:42:05   crazy people believe that lizards have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2525">TS</a>]

00:42:06   invaded our planet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2526">TS</a>]

00:42:08   run it and it's like this really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2528">TS</a>]

00:42:09   widespread me it's sort of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2529">TS</a>]

00:42:11   terrifying how many people have a this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2531">TS</a>]

00:42:13   lizard person thing going on so I wonder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2533">TS</a>]

00:42:16   if that's part of the two you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2536">TS</a>]

00:42:17   lizards dragons you know that there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2537">TS</a>]

00:42:19   there's there's a series I'm about what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2539">TS</a>]

00:42:23   would have happened if the dinosaurs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2543">TS</a>]

00:42:23   hadn't died off and had instead involved [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2543">TS</a>]

00:42:26   up commented analog and it is killing me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2546">TS</a>]

00:42:30   not for the series because basically the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2550">TS</a>]

00:42:32   whole thing comes down to that lately [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2552">TS</a>]

00:42:34   and it's is a no-no not Dinotopia that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2554">TS</a>]

00:42:39   the get the kids version i think i saw [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2559">TS</a>]

00:42:41   that movie the Fantastic them being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2561">TS</a>]

00:42:43   either leave done interviews like holy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2563">TS</a>]

00:42:44   cats dinosaurs thanks crystal exist this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:46   was holy cats [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2566">TS</a>]

00:42:47   we have humans human-like by bipedal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2567">TS</a>]

00:42:51   animals that are little blooded and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2571">TS</a>]

00:42:53   smarter than we are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2573">TS</a>]

00:42:54   oh IC totally different series i hope [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2574">TS</a>]

00:42:56   you all saw the recent paper that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2576">TS</a>]

00:42:58   talking about the wasn't about camera it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2578">TS</a>]

00:43:01   was about issue of handedness in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2581">TS</a>]

00:43:04   chemical structures found in meteorites [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2584">TS</a>]

00:43:06   and the relationship to life on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2586">TS</a>]

00:43:07   planet and it finished with the line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2587">TS</a>]

00:43:09   which I hope you also i wish with a line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2589">TS</a>]

00:43:11   that was if this happened the same and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2591">TS</a>]

00:43:14   other planets as possible there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2594">TS</a>]

00:43:15   super-intelligent dinosaurs out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2595">TS</a>]

00:43:16   and we should beware of them and i'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2596">TS</a>]

00:43:17   kidding this is peer-reviewed paper and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2597">TS</a>]

00:43:20   that was the last long after all this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2600">TS</a>]

00:43:22   destruction of august time the consensus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2602">TS</a>]

00:43:27   of the scientific community that is if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2607">TS</a>]

00:43:28   there's life out there and it's going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2608">TS</a>]

00:43:30   get to us we should be very afraid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2610">TS</a>]

00:43:32   I think so i think there's we have it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2612">TS</a>]

00:43:35   considers Drake's equation and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2615">TS</a>]

00:43:38   like a very like pine skies for the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2618">TS</a>]

00:43:40   equation where you know there's probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2620">TS</a>]

00:43:42   life out there but the length of their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2622">TS</a>]

00:43:44   civilization and how long they exist and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2624">TS</a>]

00:43:47   you know the level of their technology [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2627">TS</a>]

00:43:48   is such that we're probably never going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2628">TS</a>]

00:43:50   to see them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2630">TS</a>]

00:43:51   yeah that's right you have to be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2631">TS</a>]

00:43:52   sweet spot where you actually you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2632">TS</a>]

00:43:53   still alive and they're still alive when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2633">TS</a>]

00:43:55   they get right yeah exactly like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2635">TS</a>]

00:43:57   know what you need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2637">TS</a>]

00:43:58   they have to prevent themselves from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2638">TS</a>]

00:43:59   blowing themselves up and you know via [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2639">TS</a>]

00:44:01   nuclear you know devastation or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2641">TS</a>]

00:44:02   something whatever their analog is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2642">TS</a>]

00:44:06   murder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:07   yeah so it's I think for the most part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2647">TS</a>]

00:44:10   we've we've concluded that probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2650">TS</a>]

00:44:12   there's life out there because there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2652">TS</a>]

00:44:13   lot of space but probably not going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2653">TS</a>]

00:44:15   see it anytime soon but they might be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2655">TS</a>]

00:44:19   dragons there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2659">TS</a>]

00:44:20   there might be giants it's a great bands [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2660">TS</a>]

00:44:23   a new cover band of sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2663">TS</a>]

00:44:25   yes i do they have opposable thumbs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2665">TS</a>]

00:44:29   that's always come how do they hold the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2669">TS</a>]

00:44:31   sword yeah with their minds that's all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2671">TS</a>]

00:44:34   about the dinosaur [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2674">TS</a>]

00:44:35   I mean all thought dinosaurs are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2675">TS</a>]

00:44:38   telepathic right like a pretty much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2678">TS</a>]

00:44:39   every single one of these series they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2679">TS</a>]

00:44:41   they communicate telepathically with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:42   the humans are the only one that's you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2682">TS</a>]

00:44:45   know the the temper when they actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2685">TS</a>]

00:44:47   oh but they do have some kind of deep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:49   bonding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2689">TS</a>]

00:44:57   fantastic series it is and i think one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2697">TS</a>]

00:44:59   of the things I liked about it was how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2699">TS</a>]

00:45:01   complex and realistic the whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2701">TS</a>]

00:45:04   planetary society seemed compared to a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2704">TS</a>]

00:45:07   lot of other dragon centric societies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2707">TS</a>]

00:45:09   but yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2709">TS</a>]

00:45:10   what's interesting with the way you'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2710">TS</a>]

00:45:11   entreats the Dragons is the relationship [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2711">TS</a>]

00:45:14   between the people the Dragons a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZjaXTM/2714">TS</a>]
