The Questing Beast: Dramatizations of the Mind 45:30

1 year тому45:30

45:30

Send us a text In this episode , we unravel the myth of the questing beast, a medieval tale mystified by vivid imaginations and rumours of the time. And don't worry, Misha's narrative skills weave a story that will leave a very satisfying aftertaste, so do stick around to the end. Rather often in human history, reality lends itself to be supremely overexaggerated, but that doesn't mean the foundations of such stories are themselves boring.
