PodCastle – Dragon Stories August 16th, 2009
Being a fiction podcast, PodCastle has run a few stories about dragons.
Fear of Dragons and Dragon Hunt both play on classic fantasy themes, but twist them in new directions. The stories are compelling dramas and feature sympathetic monsters. They are both rated for a general audience.
Illuminated Dragon is both a fable of political resistance but also an allegory on creativity. It is rated slightly mature for some violence.
And Run of the Fiery Horse is an intriguing tale of Eastern mythology and making a deal with a demon. It is rated slightly mature as well, for sensuality and implied violence.

PodCastle Stories – Dogs and Otters July 28th, 2009
Here’s a few more stories from PodCastle, the fantasy podcast which might be of interest for their inclusion of anthro animal characters.
On the Banks of the River of Heaven is a fun Eastern myth about the affairs and loves of the gods and it features a talking otter character.
The evolution of trickster stories among the dogs of North Park after the Change is a mixed bag. The premise is very interesting, but the narrative structure is kind of detached and the politics get heavy handed. However the idea of the dogs creating universal myths was really neat and the ending was emotionally satisfying.
