44b. Bonus: Oriana Schwindt on The Fellowship of the Ring.
A lot of the core texts that are referenced in The Lord of the Rings are
from an Elvish perspective, and it’s very easy to take that for granted as
the correct perspective of this world. But there are all these other people
in this world, and they have different concepts of the cosmology. Even
people who are supposed to be as closely connected as men and elves… It is
very interesting to go back and read and try and figure out who is coming
from what perspective.
Oriana Schwindt is one of those former
journalists-turned-screenwriters. She lives in Los Angeles now, but is pretty
sure it’s just a phase. She’s a co-host on Megaphonic’s own By-The-Bywater Tolkien podcast and is
considering reviving her old podcast about grift in America, called,
appropriately, American
Grift.
Show Notes.
Oriana on Twitter and
Medium.
She last joined us for our bonus episode on Reading During
Crisis at the start of the pandemic.
Her Tolkien podcast, By-The-Bywater, has
episodes about Tom Bombadil,
Ghân-buri-Ghân, and Orcs (and
racism), among other topics.
And she was recently featured on an episode of This Is Your
Mixtape.
