The Legendarium

Drew McCaffrey from the Inking Out Loud podcast drops by again to spin the Wheel of Tangents with Craig. The twist? This time, we asked for the stupidest questions our listeners could think of. And boy oh boy did they come through.   Check out Inking Out Loud here: https://www.iolpodcast.com/   Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarium Check out the archives at https://www.thelegendarium.com/ Join the Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/FnCSsxx Twitter: https://twitter.com/LegendariumPod 

Craig and Todd are joined by Nadia Shammas and Marie Enger to discuss what it was like to collaborate on their new graphic novella, Where Black Stars Rise. They talk about how they found each other, how the creative process unfolded, and why the "dream" collaboration isn't with the biggest name you can find.   Check out Where Black Stars Rise here   Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarium Check out the archives at https://www.thelegendarium.com/ Join the Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/FnCSsxx Twitter: https://twitter.com/LegendariumPod 

The Rings of Power is finally here! Now that the most expensive, promoted, anticipated show of the year has arrived, how do we think it's going after just a couple of episodes?

Craig sits down with Kaitlyn Facista from Tea With Tolkien to talk about The Silmarillion, the Rings of Power, and other various Tolkien-connected topics. Kaitlyn is the purveyor of Tea With Tolkien, a book club and erstwhile (but still valuable) podcast that Craig has enjoyed from afar for quite a while now, so this is episode has been a long time coming.   Check out Tea With Tolkien here: https://www.teawithtolkien.com/   Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarium Check out the archives at https://www.thelegendarium.com/ Join the Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/FnCSsxx Twitter: https://twitter.com/LegendariumPod 

Indian novelist Samit Basu stopped by the Legendarium to talk with Craig about what exactly dystopian fiction is, where that term falls down, and how it differs across continents. Samit is also a multi-discipline writer, and they talked about what it means to write across several different mediums.

In this episode, author James Kennedy stops by to chat with Craig about predestination in speculative fiction. He's got four basic categories of determinism, and they walk through each, with a fine-toothed, good-humored comb.   Check out James Kennedy's website And his new book, Dare to Know   Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarium Check out the archives at https://www.thelegendarium.com/ Join the Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/FnCSsxx Twitter: https://twitter.com/LegendariumPod 

After a VERY long break, Craig and Ryan are back with part 10 of their Silmarillion read-along, this time covering AKALLABÊTH.

A couple of months ago we had our first ever official meetup in Portland, OR. It was fun, and we wish you could all have been there! But for those who were there, we did a live episode on Stardust, the already-classic novel by Neil Gaiman. Such fun to have the audience interaction, so we'll definitely do this again some time.   Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarium Check out the archives at https://www.thelegendarium.com/ Join the Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/FnCSsxx Twitter: https://twitter.com/LegendariumPod 

Craig and Kenn welcome Ryan Van Loan to the Author's Shelf series. Today's book is Dreamcatcher, the much-maligned 2001 sci-fi horror novel by Stephen King. So does it deserve all that maligning? In some ways, yes! In other ways, it's still an example of a master novelist at work. We'll hit a few of the highs and lows (including the 2003 movie adaptation) in this episode, so strap in!   Check out Ryan's website and his new book, The Memory in the Blood.   Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarium Check out the archives at https://www.thelegendarium.com/ Join the Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/FnCSsxx Twitter: https://twitter.com/LegendariumPod
