Hello, this is Jack Wilson, the host of the History of Literature podcast. For the past 10 years,

I've been talking to novelists, biographers, and scholars about the greatest books in the history

of the world and the men and women who wrote them, like our recent episodes on Dante in Love,

a starter pack of 10 Indian classics, the pop culture that influenced Sylvia Plath,

and a talk with scientist and novelist Alan Lightman about the wonders of nature.

Join us at the History of Literature podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Good evening, Little Masters, and welcome to episode 383 of the Prancing Pony podcast, where we come back to you now at the turn of the tide.

After seven years in the Lord of the Rings and the appendices, we're moving on to unfinished tales this season. But before we do, it's time to take a break. It's time to take a break. We haven't even started. That's the way I do my studies as an undergrad. Take a break from our studies for some live Q&A. So folks, pull up a bench in the common room and join us. I'm Sarah Brown, the shield maiden of

Rohan, and I'm here with the Man of the West, Alan Sisto. Folks, help us welcome a few of our patrons

to join us for our 32nd quarterly questions after nightfall. Good grief. Is it that many already?

I know. It feels like it's just not possible. Now, no matter whether you came to Middle

Earth through the books, the films, the TV show, or something else, each of you's welcome

here in our common room. The Prancing Pony podcast continues in our 10th season of reading and

talking our way through Middle Earth with conversations, digressions, and even speculations.
