What is JRR Tolkien's influence on other fantasy authors? Fantasy author and Wheel of Time expert Jason Denzel joins me to discuss how Tolkien influenced Robert Jordan, Amazon's adaptations of both Wheel of Time and Rings of Power, and his experience in reading The Silmarillion for the first time.

Come explore JRR Tolkien's Middle-earth, from the Lord of the Rings, to the Hobbit, to the Silmarillion, to Unfinished Tales and beyond! We compare Tolkien’s tales with Peter Jackson's films and Amazon's Rings of Power series.
