Have we got some April Fools for you…

Show Notes:

Run Time: 1:14:36

That’s right folks! Your very own April Fools are back: Christopher and Paul, the hosts of this very podcast! They’re here with an entirely new sixth episode, bringing banter, tomfoolery, and complex feelings about the handling of Lord of the Rings lore in mass-media.

Taking a break from tomfoolery, there’s also a sober segment about social injustice and about what we can all do to help those most affected.

Specifically, in the letters segment this month, there was a reference to an article about the unjust, anti-trans laws being passed in Missouri. That article can be found here

If you’d like to help support those affected in the St. Louis metro area; or if you are in the area and need support yourself, there’s a resource for you here.

If you’d like to help support mental health and suicide prevention resources for LGBTQ+ youth; or if you or someone you know needs this type of support, there’s a resource for you here.

We take these things very seriously. We hope you do, too.

Later on in the letters segment, there’s a spoilery discussion about the Rings of Power series on Amazon (Starting at approximately: 0:36:15). If you want to avoid spoilery type of things in that segment then we would recommend skipping ahead! (Skip ahead to: 0:54:08)

Finally, if you find yourself with a query and/or question OR if you just want to help our hosts avoid mail-less melancholy next month, this handy dandy form is for you!

More tomfoolery and jerryfoolery to come! (And, hopefully, fewer praline precans...)
