In a Certain Kingdom: The Wedding of Dobrynia, Son of Nikita

Season 2, Episode 7

Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Soundcloud | Ancient Faith

Dobrynia, son of Nikita, fresh off his victory over the dragon, finds a mysterious set of hoof prints in the forest. He follows them, and finds a mysterious warrior. But who that warrior actually is, he could never have guessed… In the analysis section, Deacon Nicholas reads an email from a listener that adds some interesting nuance to the ongoing conversation we’ve had on this podcast concerning the nature of evil in stories and how best to depict the battle between good and evil in a way that resonates with the audience.

Original music by Natalie Wilson.
