Join us this month for a look at the final book in the History of Middle-earth series, The History of Middle-earth volume 12, The Peoples of Middle-earth. We delve into Tolkien's unfinished story, Tal-Elmar, discussing themes of colonization, racial stereotypes, and the good guy/bad guy dichotomy. We also reflect on our Lesser-trod Histories Series as it comes to a close. Citations: Hoiem, Elizabeth Massa, World Creation as Colonization: British Imperialism in "Aldarion and Erendis".

Wie fühlt es sich an, mit dem Kajak durch den dänischen Lake District zu paddeln und dabei einem Eisvogel zu begegnen? Wo in Dänemark fühlt man sich wie im Auenland aus Der Herr der Ringe? Und warum zieht es so viele Outdoor-Fans nach Silkeborg?In dieser Reportage nimmt Miriam euch mit in den Osten Jütlands – in die Region Aarhus. Gemeinsam mit Bjørn und Manja erkundet sie den Nationalpark Mols Bjerge, spricht mit den beiden über ihr außergewöhnliches Leben mitten in der Natur und wandert durch eine Landschaft aus sanften Hügeln, Wäldern und weiten Ausblicken bis zur Ostsee. Außerdem geht es in den dänischen Lake District rund um Silkeborg: aufs Kajak, auf Wanderwege zwischen Seen und Wäldern und an Bord des ältesten noch aktiven kohlebetriebenen Raddampfers der Welt. Rund um Viborg folgt sie den Spuren eines historischen Heerwegs, der seit Jahrhunderten durch die eiszeitlich geprägte Landschaft Jütlands führt. Unterwegs trifft Miriam Menschen, die ihre Heimat mit großer Begeisterung zeigen, genießt selbstgemachte Pizza aus dem Holzofen mitten im Nationalpark, probiert dänischen Schaumwein aus Früchten und Beeren und erlebt, warum die Region Aarhus ein Paradies für alle ist, die gerne draußen unterwegs sind.Wart ihr selbst schon einmal in der Aarhus-Region unterwegs?

Today we journey deep into the swamps of Florida to investigate the legend of the Skunk Ape, Bigfoot's smaller, stinkier, swamp-dwelling cousin. From centuries-old sightings and bizarre eyewitness encounters to cryptid hunter Dave Shealy's controversial "evidence," we'll dig into the history, folklore, and possible explanations behind one of America's strangest regional monsters. Is something really hairy and stinky (but not human) hiding in the Everglades?

From where did J.R.R. Tolkien get his ideas for the world of Middle Earth?For millions of readers, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are more than just fantasy fiction. Their rich mix of sacred mythology and archetypal saga stories draw deeply into history and legend and profoundly resonate with universal human experience.As with most things, Matt Lewis is determined to claim Middle Earth was inspired by the medieval period, with the help of today's guest, Tolkien scholar Dr. Christopher Snyder.MORE:BeowulfListen on AppleListen on SpotifyCzech Braveheart: Jan ŽižkaListen on AppleListen on SpotifyGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis.

In the 1700s, a farmer plowing his fields near the English town of Silchester uncovered a very large gold ring dating back to Roman times, inscribed with the name “Senecianus.” Seventy miles away, in the remains of an old Roman temple complex, a curse tablet was discovered targeting a man named Senecianus who made off with a ring. Coincidence?  Another possible coincidence: one of the academic experts brought in to the excavation of the Roman temple site was J.R.R. Tolkien – who later became famous as the author of “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” which involve, of course, a cursed ring.   Related Atlas entries: The Vyne, the English country house that is home to the ring https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-vyne Lydney Camp, the remains of the Roman temple where the curse tablet was found https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/lydney-camp If you're into this whole curse table thing, we recommend an older episode of the show about the Complaint Tablet of Ea-Nasir Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“And I did get to do a session with Count Basie and his orchestra. You know, it's a lot easier to record people that play well than people who can't play well. Because, I mean, it almost records itself. I mean, yeah, you got to set up the microphones, you got to use the right techniques and so forth, and don't overload the microphones. But these great players are much easier to record than mediocre players with the same equipment.” – Robin GulcherThis episode is the second half of my conversation with sound designer Robin Gulcher as we discuss how room tone can make or break recording quality, Robin's advice to film students on making the best use of sound, and his memorable recording session with a bagpipe-and-jazz band.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes. If you have questions for me, visit audiobrandingpodcast.com, where you'll find a lot of ways to get in touch. Plus, subscribing to the newsletter will let you know when the new podcasts are available, along with other interesting bits of audio-related news. And if you're getting some value from listening, the best ways to show your support are to share this podcast with a friend and leave an honest review. Both those things really help, and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. You can leave one either in written or in voice format from the podcast's main page. I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – The Importance of Dynamic RangeAs the second half of our discussion begins, Robin reveals when and how commercials became so much louder than the shows we're watching. “That was sort of intentional,” he explains, “because back when radio and television were broadcast through the air, the way they could increase their advertising rates was getting to more people. And since the [signal] of a compressed commercial is denser, it could travel through air farther.” He tells us about his work with film directors, and the dangers of overlooking the importance of room tone in a recording session. “The director that I was working with said, ‘You know, in this digital age, we don't need to stop and take the time to do the room tone because you can just do your digital stuff.' I said, ‘Yeah, but the problem with that is, what do the actors do between sentences? They breathe. So that's not room tone – that's breathing.'”(12:39) – Robin's Most Memorable SessionsRobin tells us about some of the artists he's recorded over the years, such as Count Basie and the Orchestra, and what he learned from setting up the microphones for a bagpipe-and-jazz jam session. “I've recorded a lot of, you know, great instrumentalists,” he tells us. “And it's just, when you're recording great players, and the Count Basie Orchestra was full of great players, it's just an easier job.” He shares the lessons he gives his students about the power of sound in marketing, and why jingles aren't necessarily his go-to branding approach. “It really cramps creativity,” he explains. “Clients say, ‘Well, I spent all that money on that jingle, and I want to hear it. I want to hear my name sung.' And so it sort of limits the agency's creativity options by selling them things like jingles.”(24:26) – Cinematic Soundscapes and Sonic LogosAs our discussion comes to a close, Robin tells us about what his work in cinematography has taught him about the power of sound. “In films, whether it's animation or drama or comedy, I think it's more environment branding,” he explains, “putting them in a space. And you know, if this particular space is seen in other areas of the movie, it sounds the same because it's the same space.” We discuss how brands can take the same approach to sonic logos, and talk about the art of creating impossible sounds. “They were in that big castle,” he recalls a climactic scene from Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, “and the dragon was in there, and no one had ever been in that space before. And the sound design team had to create something that nobody had ever heard before for that environment.”Episode SummaryWe discuss Robin's sound design approach at Columbus College.The importance of dynamic range in sound design and commercials.Exploring the untapped potential of sound in film and advertising.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

We start Season 8 with a bang: Ben nearly burns down his house with a new HVAC system and Josh accidentally drinks eight Mai Tais by the pool. We also talk about self-driving Teslas getting wrecked, spoil Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and disagree on the goodness of The Hobbit as it comes to Magic: The Gathering.

As a landscape photographer, I’m drawn to photos I find online. Recently I came across “10 of the Most Breathtaking Places in the U.S.” A photo of a geothermal spring depicts a massive basin of multi-colored luminescence. A snapshot of the Hoh Rain Forest shows a dense mossy forest that looks like something straight out of “The Hobbit.” A stunning picture taken in Monument Valley, Arizona, could be a panorama of Mars. These awesome images make me think of our awesome God. In Psalm 68, David gushes about God’s majesty: “Sing to God . . . extol him who rides on the clouds” (v. 4). Vividly, the psalmist proclaims God’s power over enemies: “May you blow them away like smoke” (v. 2). Yet God’s sheer majesty and power are contrasted with His intimate love: “Praise be to the Lord . . . who daily bears our burdens” (v. 19). David’s epic psalm reaches a climax with his breathless praise: “You, God, are awesome” (v. 35). In landscape photographs, I find both immensity and intimacy. The sheer expanse of these vistas speaks personally to my soul. It makes me wonder if the landscapes of our world are really glimpses of God Himself— reflections of how He’s both awesomely immense and breathtakingly loving. In that light, maybe today we might look for His reflected beauty around us. Maybe today we might whisper to Him, “You, God, are awesome.”

Get the Exploring Tolkien App to listen to every episode, a Tolkien calendar, the latest news, and member exclusives! Túrin Turambar in Doriath transitions from Thingol’s foster son to a hunted outlaw. Does the fatal insult from Saeros, Túrin’s explosive reaction, and the brutal, naked chase through the woods change his destiny forever? Or is this Morgoth’s curse at work? We also discuss: The litany of imprudent choices as Túrin (and others) ignore the advice of those around them. The stark contrast between how Elves and Men process grief, maturity, and the passage of time. Saeros’s unprovoked ambush in the woods and his ultimate, fatal leap into the rocky stream. Is Mablung to blame? In our extended episode (available for members who’ve downloaded the Exploring Tolkien app and at https://theonering.com/members), we get into: Maybe the Orcs DID actually write poetry (in the Hobbit)? Does the Balrog ACTUALLY speak? Maybe Rings of Power’s Nazgnagols are right?

They move into news with Sony's newly revealed Marvel's Wolverine PS5 bundle, breaking down the Battle Yellow and Adamantium designs, and limited‑edition appeal. The conversation then shifts to Magic: The Gathering as The Hobbit crossover set becomes one of the most unique releases of the year, prompting discussion about cross‑media collaborations and collector hype. Next, they explore Kotaku's report on Sony's secrecy around disc manufacturing, reacting to the “wall of silence” that makes homebrew disc creation nearly impossible — especially as PlayStation moves away from physical media entirely. The guys also break down Take‑Two CEO Strauss Zelnick's defense of Rockstar's decision to debut the GTA 6 extended look as a timed Netflix exclusive, discussing whether this strategy helps or hurts fans and how it fits into Rockstar's broader marketing push. To wrap up the episode, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week features a review of Reel Fishing on PS1, as John and Ryan revisit the relaxing classic and evaluate its current market value.

In this episode of Quakers Today, Peterson Toscano and Diana Yañez speak with Quaker Fran Brokaw about inherited wealth, family stories, grief, reparations, and the spiritual practice of releasing money. Fran describes inherited wealth as feeling like the dragon's hoard in The Hobbit: treasure guarded so it can get bigger and bigger. Over time, she began asking deeper questions: What is this money? Where did it come from? What has it meant in my life? What does faithfulness ask of me now? Fran shares how reparations work helped her move beyond guilt and toward responsibility. She talks about giving without control, seeing money as a community asset, and allowing wealth to move through her as energy, love, repair, and relationship. In this episode inherited wealth and Quaker values guilt, responsibility, and repair giving without strings attached ethical investing and its limits wealth as grief, memory, safety, and power reparations and Land Back money as mutual blessing Featured guest Fran Brokaw, a Quaker reflecting on inherited wealth, reparations, and faithful money practice.
