Welcome to The Time that is Given Us, a new podcast focused on making meaning for ourselves and finding the path to be better people through the works of JRR Tolkien, beginning with The Lord of the Rings. This episode is a brief introduction to us and our approach to reading Tolkien on this podcast. We will publish another episode soon with a more detailed explanation of what sacred reading is, and some of the sacred reading practices we will engage with as the show goes on.Our artwork is by Ted Nasmith: tednasmith.comOur music is by John DiBartolo / The Lonely Mountain Band: minstrelsongs.com / lonelymountainband.comSupport the show (http://patreon.com/timegivenuspodcast)
