About this episode

The episode discusses the animated film 'How To Train Your Dragon', focusing on the Vikings' ecological impact and the dynamics between a father and son.

This week on the podcast we’re talking about the original, animated HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. We’re discussing the complex ecology that the Vikings are terrible stewards of and defending their leader who rightfully sees his only son as a screw-up and nuisance.  Produced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andrew Ivimey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as part of The From Superheroes Network.
