| #347. Have RPGs Influenced Fantasy As Much As Tolkien? | 12 Apr 2022 | 01:03:46 | |
A lot is made -- rightly! -- about Tolkien's influence on the modern fantasy genre. But as today's guest argues, the influence of RPGs, and therefore video games, should not go underappreciated. Craig and Drew (from the Inking Out Loud podcast) have a conversation with A.P. Canavan, known on YouTube as A Critical Dragon.

| [Rerelease] The Truth (Discworld) feat. Brandon Sanderson | 01 Jul 2024 | 01:02:49 | |
This episode was originally released on January 27, 2019
Craig and Ryan welcome a new panelist, Brandon Sanderson (maybe you've heard of him?). The three of them discuss The Truth, the 25th book in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Spoiler alert, technically, because we range all over the story, as usual. But as we mention during the show, this isn't the type of book with which you should be overly concerned about spoilers; it's delightful and hilarious regardless of what you know about it. Enjoy the episode!

| What Makes Prose Good? | Part 2: Defining Prose | 25 Jul 2021 | 00:26:10 | |
What makes for good prose? In this episode, to better try to answer that question, Craig dives into just what the definition of prose should be. Is it simply "not poetry"? Or does is go deeper than that? With a little help from the Oxford Book of English Prose, we're going to work our way toward a common definition of what prose actually is.

| Why (and How) Should Stories End? w/ Brent Weeks | 24 Jun 2021 | 00:59:08 | |
SPOILER ALERT. We talk about the ending of Harry Potter, but that's over a decade old. So maybe this note is unnecessary. But you have it anyway. Brent Weeks knows a thing or two about ending a story. So when Craig wanted to do an episode all about endings -- why must stories end? what makes a good ending? do authors owe readers an ending? -- it was a pretty easy call to ask Brent to join in.

| When does a book go from HOMAGE to THEFT? | 04 Jun 2021 | 00:15:53 | |
Craig is flying solo again today (don't worry, we're recording a regular episode this weekend), and the topic at hand is literary homage vs outright theft. Where is the line? How should we go about thinking about books that some say are TOO directly tied to their inspirations? Email me questions using the contact form at TheLegendarium.com Join the Discord community | |||
| [Rerelease] The Lord of the Rings, Book 2 | 17 Jun 2024 | 01:16:26 | |
This episode was originally released on March 1, 2020 Craig, Ryan, Megan, and Kyle discuss the second book in The Lord of the Rings--or to put it another way, the second half of The Fellowship of the Ring. They get into lots of listener questions, like whether the Rivendell chapters are too long, whether balrogs should have wings, whether the fellowship sufficiently mourns Gandalf, and much, much more. Enjoy!

Today's quick topic is whether we should read deeply or widely. Which is better? What does our preference say about us? It's a strange new format, let's see how we all feel about it!
