On this "What's Your Favorite Fandom?" episode of Fan Effect, Chris Graham of "Games & Things" returns to talk all things Tolkien. While J.R.R. Tolkien's works "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" always seemed to be a part of Producer KellieAnn's life (even her childhood dog was named after a character), Chris's introduction was more meandering yet meaningful. Together, they discuss the history, impact, and various versions of the beloved fantasy world of Tolkien, as well as how to enter the expansive fandom. With a world-building so vast, Chris has some recommended sources to explore all things Tolkien: the fan-created wiki the Tolkien Gateway, the 12-part book series History of Middle-Earth, "Tree and Leaf" which is Tolkien's more philosophical writing, "J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography" by Humphrey Carpenter, Deseret News' article talking to The Rings of Power' showrunner, and of course The Tolkien Professor, Dr. Corey Olsen. (Oh, and we can't forget to include KellieAnn's favorite Lembas Bread recipe to share with her fellow food-loving hobbits.) The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories, surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics. Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen. Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow. Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premier entertainment destination.
