It's the last episode of the season, and we trawled the folklore archive for evidence of dragons. We hope you all have a lovely festive season, and a merry Christmas if you celebrate (drink responsibly and don't end up like the Mester Stoor Worm.) We'll be back on Monday 22nd June 2026 for a brand new season of the podcast!
