About this Episode
The guys have dabbled in the science fiction works of Ursula K. Le Guin, but this week they embark on their first adventure with her powerful and groundbreaking fantasy series, A Wizard of Earthsea. They discuss the snobbery in looking down on YA fiction, overlap between Earthsea and Harry Potter, Le Guin's progressive views on diversity in sci-fi/fantasy, the power of fiction as a friend when you're young and looking for someone who gets you, and how as her work changed along with her views on feminism throughout through her career.
