<p>For this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with a wonderful writer who has produced excellent scholarship as well as engaging popular posts about Tolkien: Megan Fontenot!</p> <p>Megan is a Ph.D. student at the University of Georgia.</p> <p>I first met Megan in 2018 when she gave her award-winning paper <a href="https://dc.swosu.edu/mythlore/vol37/iss1/4/" data-type= "URL" data-id="https://dc.swosu.edu/mythlore/vol37/iss1/4/">"‘No Pagan ever loved his god’: Tolkien, Thompson, and the Beautification of the Gods.”</a> at Mythcon. Since then, Megan has pursued her interest in Tolkien in several venues, including a <a href="https://www.tor.com/members/megannfontenot/articles/" data-type="URL" data-id= "https://www.tor.com/members/megannfontenot/articles/">series</a> of articles for tor.com.
