What a breath of fresh air it is to find an academic as passionate about discussing the adaptations of Tolkien works, as he is about Tolkien’s books!   Today, on Mythmakers, in this wide-ranging interview, Julia Golding meets with Professor Nick Groom to discuss his book Twenty-First Century Tolkien.

Es una de las sagas de comedia más taquilleras de la historia del cine y esta semana ha llegado a nuestras carteleras su cuarta entrega. Nos referimos a la serie de películas de Bridget Jones, el personaje al que da vida Renée Zellweger. Os hemos preparado un reportaje resumiendo lo que ha dado de sí hasta ahora esta saga. También recordamos a uno de los directores más libres y eclécticos que ha conocido el cine como fue Robert Altman. El 20 de febrero se celebra el centenario de su nacimiento. Charlamos con el director Enrique Buleo que ha estrenado su película “Bodegón de fantasmas” y en la sección dedicada al cine del Oeste tenemos una película dirigida por el productor y magnate de la aviación Howard Hughes. Se trata de “El forastero”, un film que en su día causó un gran escándalo por la sensualidad que transmitía su protagonista femenina, la actriz Jane Russell.

Love and money are deeply connected, yet financial conversations can often feel stressful, emotional, or even avoided altogether. With Valentine’s Day approaching, this episode explores why money talks can be challenging and how to transform them into moments of trust, connection, and teamwork. We’ll walk through 5 practical steps to help you and your partner communicate openly, navigate financial decisions together, and build a stronger, more unified approach to money. In this episode, John discusses: The emotional impact of money in relationships Why financial conversations can be difficult for couples The importance of trust and communication in financial unity Practical steps for having productive money talks Key Takeaways: Scheduling intentional money conversations ahead of time, rather than waiting for financial problem to surface, helps both of you have better chance to approach your talk with a calm and prepared heart and mind. Creating a safe and judgment-free space, where both of you can actively listen and seek to understand, rather than blame, helps build trust and encourage open, honest dialogue about money. Asking thoughtful questions instead of making assumptions allows couples to uncover each other’s financial fears, goals, and priorities, fostering greater alignment in their financial decisions. When emotions escalate, taking a pause to pray and regain perspective helps refocus the conversation on unity rather than competition, guarding against arguments damaging the relationship. Ending each money discussion with a plan for the next conversation ensures that financial communication remains consistent, strengthening financial unity and reducing long-term stress in the relationship. “Schedule a money talk with your significant other this week—even if it's just 15 or 20 minutes. Make time for an open, honest conversation using these five tips and best practices I'm sharing today, and see how God moves through your honesty and unity.”  JP CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

How does one come up with an original idea for a fantasy story? Hannah Kingsley in her debut novel Soul Hate (due to come out in February 2025) has taken the trope of the ‘soul mate’ and asked the question: 'what if...you had a soul hate?' Join us on today’s episode of Mythmakers as she discusses with Julia Golding the origins of her story and the importance of giving her heroine a job that she felt passionately about. Hannah, being a gifted artist herself, is crafting special editions of the novel with custom spray-painted edges – you’ll want to hear how she came to develop this part of her creativity!

Today, the Mythmakers podcast is setting sail with author Rose Black on a new fantasy pirate adventure for an adult audience: Fated Winds and Promising Seas (available on Hodderscape). Julia Golding discusses with Rose where the idea came from – and it’s not the usual place in this case! In a book about freedom and predestination, they go on to discuss representation in fantasy books and writing from a perspective that might seem not to be your own – how an author has to navigate the shoals of freedom to write the story she feels drawn to create, and reception of that within the world. Finally, they settle on where the best place would be to be rescued by pirates!   For more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit: Website: https://centre4fantasy.com/website Instagram: https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram Facebook: https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook TikTok: https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok   0:10 Introduction to Mythmakers 2:40 Journey to Becoming an Author 4:40 Exploring Fated Winds and Promising Seas 7:53 Themes of Freedom and Authority 11:37 The Cost of Magic 15:38 Representation in Fantasy 19:07 Inspirations from Pirate Media 23:18 The Influence of Dungeons & Dragons 26:01 Future Writing Projects 27:38 Imagining Fantasy Worlds

What would it be like to be the only human in a family of vampires? This is the dilemma that Helen Glynn Jones' character faces in the first part of her Ravens series: The Last Raven. Helen joins Julia Golding in today’s episode of Mythmakers to discuss the tradition of vampire myths around the world in the places she's lived, and in her own version as she imagines that being human is what makes you the monster. They go on to discuss betrayal as a plotline, coming of age, as well as the experience of being edited. Stay tuned to find out their picks for the best place to be turned into a vampire.

Author Tad Williams is well-known for his epic fantasy series, such as The Dragonbone Chair, as well as his sci-fi and urban fantasy works. He joins us today on the Mythmaker's podcast to talk to Julia Golding about The Navigator's Children, his conclusion to a vast epic, this part called The Last King of Osten Ard. This achievement has been compared to Tolkien's legendarium in its ambitious scope, so it is not surprising to hear that Tolkien was one of Tad’s major influences. He tells Julia about how he manages such a complicated, woven plot, how he keeps track, and what steps he takes before getting down to writing, as well as much more. Stick around to hear where would be best for a creation myth in all fantasy!  To learn more about Tad, and to get your own copies of his incredible books, visit https://hodderscape.co.uk/collections/author-tad-williams-pid-86249?_pos=1&_psq=tad+william&_ss=e&_v=1.0   For more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit: Website: https://centre4fantasy.com/website Instagram: https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram Facebook: https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook TikTok: https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok   0:10 Introduction to Mythmakers11:09 Early Influences on Fantasy Writing26:45 Transitioning to Writing40:02 The Last King of Ostern Ard Series49:21 Music and Storytelling in Fantasy
