The Shire

Sophie Burkhardt joins me to talk about the nature of Tolkien's Shire and its role in his work.

(No long episode description this time--I am on vacation.  Enjoy, though!)

If you have additional thoughts about the Shire, or ideas about other places we should explore, drop us a line at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com.  We would love to hear from you.  I think it would be half worth it to do a second episode somewhere down the line on the Shire, as there is so much else to talk about.  Let me know your thoughts.

Give us a rating on iTunes if you can spare a minute. A kind review would mean a great deal to us.

Sophie's podcast, Beneath the Willow Tree, can be found here.

Next time, we'll be talking about Sørina Higgins' developing short story collection, Shall These Bones Breathe?  Check it out and support her work here.
