Fantasy Explorations
Welcome to Fantasy Explorations, the place where to geek out about fantasy, in all of its forms.
This podcast is made by a fantasy lover, in books, in big and small screen, in games, in anime or comics or in art. There is something freeing about exploring this genre, magic, magical creatures, mythological creatures; and the best part about fantasy is that the limit is our own imagination!
I will work on two different concepts: the first is collections, where we explore a topic (a theme, trope, etc.) of fantasy finding books and series that cover this topic; the second is the reading journey through a specific book, trying to mimic reading vlogs into a podcast format!
