274 – Live from PPP Moot!

Join Alan and Shawn and an all-star panel of guests in an episode recorded live at PPP Moot 2022! Matt from Nerd of the Rings, Luke Shelton from The Tolkien Experience Podcast, and Corey Olsen, the Tolkien Professor, all join our hosts on stage to talk about their favorite moments from the legendarium that reflect perseverance, boldness, and courage in the face of impossible odds and waning strength. Or, as we finally decided to call it, “incredible stubbornness”. ‘What-if’ scenarios, Viking invasions, and a mithranium sighting — all in this very special live episode!

Programmet var innehållsrikt, med Corey Olsen, Michael Drout och Verlyn Flieger som huvudtalare och många andra föreläsare, bland andra en geolog som analyserade Númenors undergång och tsunamin den orsakade.
