Why Tolkien is GREAT - with John Carswell from The Tolkien Road
John Carswell has been producing The Tolkien Road podcast for almost 8 years-- and he's written two books! Jonathan and Michael dive into what John finds so compelling with Tolkien, his own road to finding more depth and meaning in Tolkien's works, and what Warner Bros can do to make truly excellent films set in Middle-earth (hint: it has nothing to do with money or effects).
