S1E5: Wyatt and Zane

In this episode of With Honors, Wyatt and Zane join the quest to face down the ultimate literary beast: the dragon. Armed with our knowledge of symbolism, our pop culture expertise, and our love for all things fantasy, we charge headfirst into the legends to unravel why these creatures have captivated us for centuries. From the fire-breathing terrors of Western myths to the wise, celestial beings of Eastern tradition, we battle through layers of symbolism, Biblical lore, character depictions, movie references, and archetypal meaning. In this clash with the great wyrm of literary analysis, we try to uncover what dragons reveal about our fears, our ambitions, and the stories that define us.This episode features inspiring piano music by BlackTrendMusic, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.
