 🎧 Episode 035: Dragons | The Stronghold Podcast 

In this eye-opening and imaginative episode of The Stronghold Podcast, host Dave Barton asks a wild but compelling question: What if dragons were real? And more provocatively—what if someone doesn’t want you to know that? 

Triggered by a recent viral pop culture moment involving Joe Rogan and an offhand comment about “believing in dragons,” this episode turns curiosity into a compelling thought experiment. 

We explore: 

  • Fossils like the Thanatosdrakon amaru, the so-called "dragon of death"
  • Global folklore and ancient tales from China to Europe
  • The legendary story of Saint George and the Dragon
  • Modern conspiracy theories involving government fossil suppression and secret societies
  • Remote sightings of dragon-like creatures like Mokele-Mbembe
  • The Nazca Lines and possible ancient depictions of dragons


But at its core, this episode is less about dragons and more about the power of asking questions. Dave reminds us that imagination and inquiry are essential to human growth—and that thinking differently isn’t just okay, it’s essential.

Whether dragons ever roamed the earth or not, you’ll leave this episode with your mind opened, your curiosity awakened, and your conviction strengthened to question the narratives we’re told.

🎙️ “The world doesn’t need more people who know all the answers. It needs more people brave enough to ask better questions.”
