There's no better place to study and research Fantasy than Glasgow. As the 10th cohort of Fantasy MLitt students graduate and the Centre of Fantasy & the Fantastic celebrates its 5th anniversary, we’re celebrating the literature of the impossible in the podcast’s season finale.

Professor Dimitra Fimi, Professor Matthew Sangster, Dr Will Tattersdill and Dr Anna McFarlane join the podcast for a fantastic conversation across media, and spanning centuries of literary history. From what makes fantasy so compelling to myths and misconceptions; we delve into the depths of Booktok and fandom, explore the publishing industry and AI futures, as well as touch on the many texts that inspired their research – not to mention the fantasy texts you need to read.

You don’t need to be a fantasy reader to enjoy this episode, but you will be by the end credits.
