Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here.

I could not be happier to welcome Brad Berzer back to the show.

Now, folks, look, yes, we're going to talk a little bit about music,

but it goes beyond the music.

It goes the message in the music, right?

Because you saw the title of this episode has to do with Tolkien and Lewis,

and we'll elaborate on that in a minute as to what that has to do with what we're going to talk about.

You either love or you hate the music recommendations that Brad and I make.

But Brad has much more to say than just about music.

He is a professor of history at Hillsdale College, the author of numerous books,

including the prize-winning Russell Kirk, American Conservative,

and he has created some really outstanding courses for LibertyClassroom on the Old West,

on Jacksonian America, on Myth, and more.
