David and John are joined by their favorite Tolkien scholar, Marilyn R. Pukkila, to discuss the first part of the fourth book in Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea Cycle, Tehanu. After recapping Tenar's newfound parenthood, they discuss the LeGuin's decision to revisit Earthsea decades later, her evolving views on feminism, and her exploration of the sociological problems within her own world.. Finally, they answer listener feedback.
