Episode 15 - Dragons and Gender (The Worst Princess and Digory the Dragon Slayer)

Join Nina and Matt as we dive into a couple of topics that go hand in hand: dragons and gender! We talk about why stories about dragons, princesses and knights are a great place to play with gender roles, gay dragons, and Matt pitches an episode about Howl's Moving Castle (coming in series 5!)
