Episode 34 - I See Fire. Part 2 of a 3 Part Series on Monsters in Fiction.

This episode of Fictional Problems (part two of our monsters series) explores the dragons of Western mythology — what they look like, where they came from, and why they keep appearing in our stories.

Hosts Gary J. Martin and A.R. McNevin discuss historical origins, symbolic roles (force of nature, weapon, treasure-guardian), and modern reworkings where dragons become tools, companions, or metaphors for power, greed, and heroism.

Join the conversation to learn how dragons reflect human fears, ambitions, and storytelling traditions.
