About this episode
The episode explores the evolution of the story of Arthur and its connection to the Grail and the Eucharist.
Inspired by Malcolm Guite’s Galahad and the Grail, Glenn walks the other Pugs through the evolution of the story of Arthur from his historical roots as a warlord through his transformation into the ideal king surrounded by a band of noble knights, into the world of the medieval romances. This leads to the emergence of the story of the Grail and its ultimate connection to the Eucharist. In the process, the guys talk about history, invasions, the nature of time, and the importance or myth and story.
