Alan welcomes The Tolkien Professor himself, Corey Olsen, to the Prancing Pony – just in time for us both to join our listeners in the common-room for our latest Q&A episode! We discuss the choices made by Elrond and Elros, whether the Three Hunters would have made good ultramarathoners, how artwork and film impacts our reading imagination, and much more. Oh, and Túrin and Nienor because we can’t always be happy.
