Episode 69 of #ByTheBywater is live! (Yes, we know, jokes are made.) Our last episode of the year, looking at #Tolkien and nostalgia, its potential weaponizing in other hands and Tolkien's own mix of celebration and ambivalence. Listen in to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and myself; art by Jared as always. https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/69

Episode 68 is out! Give an ear to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and myself talk Oriana's choice of topic -- what does it mean when it's said something feels like #Tolkien exactly? Art as always by Jared! https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/68

Episode 67 of #ByTheBywater is live! This time out we talked about _The Adventures of Tom Bombadil_, aka what happened when #Tolkien made his version of a stocking stuffer. Art by #JaredPechacek as always! https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/67

And we are live on MegaphonicFM with Episode 66! Come listen to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I talk about the Avari and their spiritual kin in #Tolkien — art by Jared as always of course! https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/66

The latest episode of #ByTheBywater is live! Listen to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I talk about #Aragorn, definitely not someone #Tolkien ever intended as the core hero...but some want it otherwise. Art (and alt text) as always by Jared! https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/65

Given that he hosts a podcast about Tolkien, you'd expect Jared Pechaček's dark fantasy novel "The West Passage" to be "Rings"-ish. But in this exclusive interview we did about it, he also cites "Moby-Dick," Hieronymus Bosch, and his religious upbringing as influences.

Our latest #ByTheBywater episode is live on megaphonic.fm! This time around we talked about a distinction #Tolkien famously made in an introductory LOTR essay between allegory and applicability -- but how solid was that line for him? Illustration as ever by #JaredPechacek https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/63

Episode 62 of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFM -- have a listen to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I talking about the Rohirrim. #Tolkien certainly made some striking characters, but left enough details and hints that makes you wonder more and more about their society itself. https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/62

So #ByTheBywater is now officially five years old and episode 61 is live! And man does the existence of Terry Brooks's _The Sword of Shannara_ sure feel like the worst April Fool's pulled on anyone who ever loved #Tolkien -- art as always by #JaredPechacek who along with @schwindter suffered when I suggested this. https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/61
