I present to you the introductory episode of the Mythic Mind Humanities Guild Podcast! This is our latest platform for showcasing the work of our many guild members. With solo contributions and hearty conversations, we aim to make this show a homely house in an unhomely age. Gather around for our inaugural episode and to hear from a few of our members.“Rivendell was the perfect house, whether you liked food or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness.” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
