Ep 50: Where is all the ecofantasy? Oh...there it is!

Hey ecofictologists and welcome to episode 50 of the Ecofictology podcast!  This week I am digging into one of my favourite genres...fantasy! I love reading fantasy and I also love to write it. Pretty much all of my works in progress and ideas that are percolating in my head would fall into this genre. When i set about making this video I made the mistake of thinking there weren't that many examples of ecofantasy and am so happy to tell you that I was wrong! There's loads! This episode is a bit of an introduction and I really wanted to address the issue that some people have, thinking that fantasy isn't a "serious" genre because it is escapist. What's wrong with ecapism?! And I don't agree that it hinders the genre at all in being able to send some really important messages!  This is an archived episode from my youtube channel so if you prefer the visual medium, you can find the link in the shownotes. I hope you enjoy Where is all the ecofantasy? Oh...there it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NECdUor-vEs&list=PLErvk5p2-eWrXVSX7CA8F43XjQV9W50z4&index=1  Ecologists in fantasy: where are they??
