Mythic Mind

In this episode, I am joined by two guests to discuss Tolkien's short story, Farmer Giles of Ham. David Rowe is the author of The Proverbs of Middle Earth and Aaron Bair is an English Teacher at a charter school in Salt Lake City.

In this episode, I'm joined by C.R. Wiley to discuss his book, In the House of Tom Bombadil. While we primarily focused on Bombadil as he appears in The Lord of the Rings, this connects to our current series on The Tales from the Perilous Realm, which includes the poetic "Adventures of Tom Bombadil." We'll get to these specific tales another time, but I found this to be a worthwhile, more general conversation about this fascinating character.Support my work and gain access to exclusive, early, and ad-free content at patreon.com/mythicmind.Keep up with me on twitter @andrewnsnyderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mythic-mind--5808321/support.

In this episode, I am joined by John Carswell of the Tolkien Road to discuss Tolkien's essay, "On Fairy-Stories," which is a foundational read for understanding Tolkien's literary philosophy, and particularly his philosophy of fantasy. I often say that I was radicalized by "On Fairy-Stories," so I hope that this conversation is a companion to your own reading!

While my current content focus is primarily on the Patreon-exclusive Grimm series, I'm continuing to repurpose old content to keep the public podcast feed alive. In this episode, I read a blog post that I wrote in December of 2020 as my wife and I continued to work through child loss and empty arms. While much has changed since then, there are some experiences that remain forever-present. The joy of Christmas can become salt on the wounds of those who are mourning, so I hope that this short episode provides some degree of solace to those who need it.
