Middle-earth Talk Radio Episode 16 Now Online

In our continuing quest to find Gil-galad's car, Hawke Robinson and I have put the finishing touches on Episode 16 of Middle-earth Talk Radio. Actually, this episode marks a change in the show's format/presentation. We went a little freeform on the topicality because I couldn't find any interesting news stories worth chatting about.

You can now visit Middle-earth Talk Radio on its own page at Middle-earth Radio.

We recorded this episode on September 12, 2009 (which was just before the real birthday for Bilbo and Frodo). Topics covered included:

• A dearth of Tolkien-related news


• Tales before Tolkien - The Roots of Modern Fantasy - Classic stories that inspired the author of The Lord of the Rings by Douglas A. Anderson


• The Elves by Ludwig Tieck, Inspired Tolkien's Leaf by Niggle


• Harry Potter and the Emerald Key ;-)


• Even more off topic: A story by Michael Martinez, Fantasy Football leagues Insurance


• Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress by Seattelite & WotC writer Shelly Mazzanoble


• RPG Research Project & related studies on the therapeutic and social impact of RPGs


• MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games)


• Pen and Paper RPGs (Role Playing Games)
