  • The Reality of Fantasy

    The Reality of Fantasy
    Feb 5 2024
    At its heart, the Fantasy genre represents our modern form of mythmaking.

  • That's What I'm Tolkien About: Kaitlyn from Tea with Tolkien

    That's What I'm Tolkien About: Kaitlyn from Tea with Tolkien
    Feb 27 2024

In this episode, join me and my friend Kaitlyn from Tea with Tolkien to find out just how wrong that assumption is, for we share more than a love of an author and his works. Thank you so much Kaitlyn for being my first-ever guest! Tea with Tolkien: https://www.teawithtolkien.com/ Please follow this podcast, share it, and visit my other haunts below!
