## Resource

Castle Rat is a self-described "medieval fantasy metal band" led by our guest, Riley Pinkerton . In her stage persona as "The Rat Queen," Pinkerton is a sword-wielding heroine on a mission to expand and defend 'The Realm' from those who seek to destroy it. Off stage, she's a friendly, glue-gun wielding creative arts kid, firmly grounded in the real world. She's here to talk about the band's most recent concept album, The Bestiary , why she feels that the body positive fantasy art of Frank Frazetta was actually empowering to women, and how she and her band all get a good laugh out of watchingl the film, This Is Spinal Tap.
