For this new show-within-a-show, Andrew and Craig will learn all about *The Chronicles of Prydain* by Lloyd Alexander. We'll read the five books in this classic children's fantasy series, then close out with an extra episode on the Disney adaptation *The Black Cauldron*.
In this episode, you'll hear us discuss Andrew's background with the series, how Alexander came to write *Prydain*, and the Welsh myths from which he took inspiration.
This is a preview of a series we’ll be running exclusively for our Patreon supporters over the next few months; we won’t release them on the main feed until the entire series has run. If you want to listen to them as they’re released, see patreon.com/overduepod for more! Episode 1 is already up!
Here's the full syllabus for The Prydainger Zone:
- The Book of Three
- The Black Cauldron
- The Castle of Lyr
- Taran Wanderer
- The High King
- Bonus: The Black Cauldron (1985)
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
