171 Unlocking the Alchemy

On tonight’s episode, the ladies were joined by the mighty Quinn! Dragon Common Room member and fellow poet Quinn Kimball joined us for a discussion of Draco Alchemicus Act II —The Court. Quinn noted that the story is full of symbolism and references to important trends and events in history, and as a well-read Millennial, he had some questions. For starters, who were our models for each of the characters? What is the meaning behind a two-headed angel? Why the 16th century? And who is that character holding the Palantir? Inquiring minds want to know! NB: We had some storms in the background which affected our recording on this one! —Streamed July 10, 2026
