Time for something a little different! We're celebrating our 20th episode with a look at one of our favorite fantasy art books from childhood, the Voyage of the Basset. We didn't realize that it's much more art than story as kids, but we do now! Join us in discussing family-friendly versions of famous mythological baddies, looking at drawings of pretty ladies, and deciding whether it's cool for a manticore and a sphynx to enter into a romantic relationship. Credendo vides (or not! Skeptics welcome).
