I have contributed another article to @joshcarlosjosh's Substack page, Jokien with Tolkien. What exciting topic did I choose? DEATH! Was Tolkien right to call it a gift to men? Is that really what he meant? Read on to find out... A Doom or a Gift? jrrjokien.com/p/a-doom-or-a-…
Though here at journey's end I lie in darkness buried deep, beyond all towers strong and high, beyond all mountains steep, above all shadows rides the Sun and Stars for ever dwell: I will not say the Day is done, nor bid the Stars farewell. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Here's another version of my podcast with @JennMGreenberg. You can listen right here or the same thing will be uploaded to YouTube soon.
What is a podcast premise or focus that you would listen to, but, to your knowledge, does not yet exist?

Gondor calls for aid! Tomorrow I will be buying #TheHobbit on audiobook, but which narrator do I choose?? Help me, friends. #LOTR
University teaching is great, but I especially enjoy leading studies with the natural communities that form around significant common interests. I really want to spend more time doing the latter, so this afternoon I will be announcing two additional upcoming public studies!
Very excited to be heading to my Alma mater on Saturday to present my research on John Stuart Mill and machines. The event will be live streamed, so if you want to hear me survey my book project a little, I’ll put the link to the channel below!

Tomorrow morning the 50th episode of the @Mythic_Mind Legacy Podcast will drop. This episode will mostly be the audio of the introduction to my upcoming Lewis course. Join me as I trace relevant philosophical and cosmological ideas from the pre-Socratics to the medievals and…

Take a scenario, situation, character, or emotion & show a (or several) bad example(s) of it, then show a (or several) good example(s) of it in literature through the ages.
Trick question, both are necessary.
Very excited to be heading to my Alma mater on Saturday to present my research on John Stuart Mill and machines. The event will be live streamed, so if you want to hear me survey my book project a little, I’ll put the link to the channel below!
@Mythic_Mind Eastertide lasts until Pentecost, so it's certainly not too late!
@Mythic_Mind Intro to CSLewis, Intro to Bonhoeffer, Formation of the Biblical Canon
@Mythic_Mind @Andrewnsnyder World Civ Music Appreciation US History US Political History Enhanced Interrogation Christian Histories Biblical History & Theology American Cinema
@Mythic_Mind @Andrewnsnyder Virtually anything in or related to Bible & early Judaism/early Christianity, plus a good bit of Graeco-Roman material. Lots of CS Lewis, some Austen, etc.
@Mythic_Mind The Odyssey, The Oresteian Trilogy, the Christian take on the Euthyphro dilemma, public speaking techniques...just a sampling.
@Mythic_Mind Well my bachelors degree is in history, former firefighter and currently in law enforcement. So…defense against the dark arts.
@Mythic_Mind Shakespeare, poetry basics, Bible overview, single work of English literature like Tale of Two Cities. It’s a fun question!
Ask me again in a year. 😁
What is something related to the humanities that you could teach well with little preparation?
@Mythic_Mind Charles Williams (life, works, themes) C. S. Lewis, ditto J.R.R. Tolkien, ditto The Inklings, ditto Shakespeare (overview, many plays) Formal Poetry Creative Writing, many genres Academic Writing, many iterations and much more!
@Mythic_Mind A class or a semester? I mean, I wouldn't *want* to do it with little preparation, but I could probably do a historical survey of elements of the US constitution (ie, tracing the ideas from Greece through the middle ages); a survey of Anglo-Saxon art; a Western history of theater
I could talk about allegories to Shakespeare in current pop culture/tv shows/movies for dayssssss
What is something related to the humanities that you could teach well with little preparation?
Out of nowhere, someone did fan-art of a character in a story a friend and I wrote. I'm feeling pretty top of the world right now.

Update on my epic fantasy WIP: the plan for next week is to flesh out my outline into a full plot synopsis. I have an editor who's expressed interest in the basic premise of my book, and I want to give them a clearer picture of what I have in mind.
