In this episode, we go back to our roots to explore JRR Tolkien's 'Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth' and its significance in Tolkien scholarship. Building on Athrabeth episodes 8 and 9 from way back in 2019, we delve into the deep questions of death, immortality, and Tolkien's world-building, highlighting the essay's unique perspective, intriguing and unanswered questions, and its enduring influence.\n\nWe want to thank some special people who have made these 100 episodes possible. First and foremost, James Kaku Pierson, our wonderful editor who works tirelessly to edit this show, and has taken our nonsense as inspiration for our sister podcast, Athraplay. Thank you to the cast of Athraplay, Velvet Dracos, Nikki Boylan-Currie, and Tori Owens, who are such a joy. To all the fantastic guests of the show, thank you for gracing us with your voices and wisdom. And lastly, thank you to all the people who listen! Thank you everyone. Here’s to 100 more. \n"}
