Ep - 99 J.R.R. Tolkien's Nordic Influences with Ruth Tolkien

This week we are so excited to have Mathias and Daniel sitting down with Ruth Tolkien, great granddaughter of the Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien, and all around amazing human being! In addition to talking about Ruth's many cool hobbies, other topics of discussion will include Tolkien's Nordic influences (which is a course Mathias teaches at CU Boulder) and Dan learns the true nature of fan fiction, and promptly tries puts out a call for NMP themed erotica that we pray no one answers.  If you would like to learn more about Ruth, who we cannot emphasize enough is just a delightful human being, you can find more at: Ruthtolkien.com Also check us out on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcast
