Episode 70 of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFM -- his time around @schwindter and #JaredPechaceck and I talked about the anime film _The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim_, based on a short #Tolkien story that made up the history of Rohan in LOTR's appendices. Art by Jared as ever! https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/70

Episode 64 of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFM -- listen as @schwindter and I celebrate the appearance of #JaredPechacek's debut novel by collectively discussing what it means to resist #Tolkien as a determining influence in fantasy. Art from Jared as always! https://megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/64

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

The latest #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFM, looking at one of the biggest creative and academic drivers for #Tolkien -- #Beowulf. We touch on everything from his imagined fairy tale version of the story to of course his famous essay on the poem and more besides -- and of course the work itself! Art as ever by #JaredPechacek https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/60

The latest #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFm so listen to @schwindter, #JaredPechacek and myself talk about the new edition of the letters of J.R.R. #Tolkien, out the other month. Among other things you'll find out which WWII era Hollywood film knocked him sideways. (Hint: it's not about WWII.) Episode art by Jared as always. https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/58

The latest #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFm and it's time to talk about @schwindter's choice of topic, the #Noldor -- #Tolkien definitely made it so they were always extra, except when they were tired. Illustration by #JaredPechacek as ever! https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/56

The latest #ByTheBywater episode is live on #MegaphonicFm! This time around #JaredPechacek, @schwindter and I talked about _The Notion Club Papers_, an incomplete novel that is one of the densest things #Tolkien ever wrote. (Also rather a slog.) Art by Jared as ever! https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/55

The latest episode of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFM as #OrianaSchwindt and #JaredPechacek and I talk about one of the more obscure efforts by #Tolkien, his fragmentary time travel story “The Lost Road.” Art by Jared as always! https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/54

Meantime the latest #ByTheBywater is up on #MegaphonicFm! Come listen to @schwindter, #JaredPechacek and I talk about land in #Tolkien and #MiddleEarth, doodle by Jared as ever! https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/53

The latest episode of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFm! Come listen to @schwindter, #JaredPechacek and I talk _The Fall of Numenor_ -- illustration by Jared as always. #Tolkien https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/52

And it's a new episode of #ByTheBywater up on #MegaphonicFm with one of the oddest efforts that #Tolkien did, a translation of the #MiddleEnglish poem #SirOrfeo which he left absolutely no notes or details on -- nobody's even sure when he translated it. As ever @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I gave it a go; art by Jared as ever. https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/51

Meantime the latest #ByTheBywater episode is live on #MegaphonicFm! This was our 50th episode that we celebrated the other week with a special live recording in Portland and what a treat it was. Listen to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I have some thoughts on Peter Jackson's adaptation of #TheHobbit -- somewhat tart ones.

Phew! So this past Saturday was a GREAT time in Portland with the #MegaphonicFm live podcast evening held at Passages Bookshop. We all had a heck of a time -- our latest #ByTheBywater episode from the evening will be out a week from today! Big thanks to folks on here like @finchfrii and @dougo and more who were all able to make it! #Tolkien

One last reminder for #Portland folks and/or those who can make it there tomorrow! I'll be with my friends Chris, Charlotte and Michael and my cohosts @schwindter and #JaredPechacek for an evening of live podcast shenanigans from the #MegaphonicFm network at #PassagesBookshop -- it is free, we start at five, and we hope to see you there! https://www.megaphonic.fm/live-2023

And the latest episode of #ByTheBywater is live on #MegaphonicFm -- and this time we're looking at one of the worst adaptations of #Tolkien ever, the #RankinBass version of _The Return of the King_, which even Rankin admitted in later years wasn't good. Listen to @schwindter and #JaredPechacek and I despair accordingly. Art as always by Jared, who said: "I put exactly as much effort into my drawing as they did into their screenplay." https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/49

Heads up #Tolkien fans! We at #ByTheBywater will be recording our first ever live episode in Portland, April 22nd, as part of live night of #MegaphonicFm #podcast recordings!

I'd just like to call attention to the invitation by @wordgarbler here -- he runs the podcast network #MegaphonicFm, home of #ByTheBywater, and per his note, he's looking for guests! https://mastodon.world/@wordgarbler/109667322197351593

On a happier note: the latest episode of #BytheBywater is now up at #MegaphonicFM -- listen to @schwindter, Jared and myself talk about Peter Jackson's _The Two Towers_ on its 20th anniversary. (Yes, you're that old, sorry.) #Tolkien https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/45

Finally: yes indeed, #Tolkien -- I cohost a podcast on the man and his work, #By-The-Bywater, hosted at #megaphonicfm by @casuistry -- my cohosts are @schwindter and Jared, and you can find us here: https://www.megaphonic.fm/bythebywater
