In this, our first episode, your hosts introduce themselves, and then dive right in as we explore Tolkien’s 1939 lecture “On Fairy Stories”, a fundamental work in Tolkien Studies, but one often overlooked by the wider Tolkien fandom. In it, Tolkien issues a sort of mission statement on why he considers fantasy important.
