Circle Stories

if we don’t get these stories out… they will die with us: Marc Mullinax
Marc Mullinax and I talked COVID and higher education for a bit but then we dive into Tolkien. The Tolkien writings as comparable to our sacred texts. Think about that for a minute. Marc and I discuss that and the power of imaginative fiction (nee fantasy) stories . "All religion is imagination" says the Professor. I love it. Find Marc on social media at: https://www.instagram.com/marcmullinax/ We also talked about: http://www.richardpowers.net/the-overstory/ https://tolkienprofessor.com/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpanH1YqxZ4C_R_BT-2NeSI74UBvEo62Z The title of the episode says it all for me.
