Once upon a time, I gifted $10+/month patrons subscriptions to my Substack on Tolkien's letters, but that process became overly tedious. However, I am now bringing it back - in a way. I am starting to record my reading of these articles and posting them to the Patreon podcast feed. The first episode is now available to everyone, but, moving forward, this series will be exclusive to $10+/month patrons.In addition to this series, patronage will provide you with ad-free episodes of the Mythic Mind Legacy and Fellowship podcasts delivered into a single feed.Mythic Mind Patreon: patreon.com/mythicmindSubstack: https://andrewnsnyder.substack.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mythic-mind--5808321/support.
