Episode 33: Not so Charming - Male Stereotypes in Speculative Fiction

As Equal Opportunity offenders, this week the Dragons are looking at male stereotypes, harking back as far as folk tales and Greek myth to the Disneyfied princes and diamonds in the rough, to the misunderstood bad boys of modern YA speculative fiction.
