    Dragon on a Pedestal (1 of 2)
    Aug 14 2023

    Welcome, curious travelers, return guests, and horrified gawkers, to the first episode of Biopsy of an Ogre, the podcast that dissects the Xanth novel series by Piers Anthony, breaks them down into good parts and bad parts, and makes the final call on whether this fantasy novel can be saved. For our first episode we're joined by cartoonist and writer Steph Cherrywell, creator of such indie comics classics as Pepper Penwell and Widgey Q. Butterfluff, to discuss Dragon On A Pedestal, a novel that sets up Xanth's golden age, if it can be said to have one. This book is a wild chase around Xanth to find three precocious infants in no hurry to get home-- one of whom is a dragon!
