The Prydainger Zone Ep 00 - Lloyd Alexander and his Chronicles, an introduction
Shownotes
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.
