In the first episode of the new podcast, Fantasy God, hosts Virginia Anzengruber and Alexander Freeman Graves settle in to let you know about themselves and their religious backgrounds, why they wanted to start the show, and throw around names like Zarathustra.

Fantasy God will be looking at popular fantasy literature and the religious themes we find in them, and our hosts' interpretations and experiences with them. If you're into C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Philip Pullman and weird friends -- you're gonna like this show.

In episode one, Virginia will incense philosophy majors by lumping myth and allegory into the same category (mostly just as storytelling tools for things that are hard to explain), Alex + Virginia talk about their definitions of god, and Virginia makes so. many. shout outs. 

References: Matthew 6:5 (The Bible), E.B. Tylor, Frederick Nietzsche, Joseph Campbell.

**AND VIRGINIA MEANT WILL FERREL IN TALLADEGA NIGHTS. She mistakenly said Anchorman while making a reference and feels like a real idiot.**
