The White Duck




In a Certain Kingdom show

Summary: A prince marries a princess. Yes, that's actually the beginning of this story! But he has to go away on a long journey. As though he could tell that terrible things would happen, he warned his new wife never to leave her room. But there couldn't be anything wrong about walking in the garden, could there? Especially with this wonderful new friend of hers who appeared out of nowhere? Of course not! Except, it turns out her best friend is actually a witch, and she wants to marry the prince herself! Instead of an analysis section, today Nicholas Kotar answers listener questions about the podcast. Among them, he talks about the very Slavic elements of living and dead water and the role of repetitive imagery and word choice. Also, he finally divulges the greatest secret of all... Who is Baba Yaga?
