MiddleEarth, Mimesis, and Matthew Distefnao

It's outstanding to be back churning out the audio goodness on the jonathan_foster show. Today, I have my friend Matthew J. Distefano with us talking about his brand NEW book entitled, The Wisdom of Hobbits: Unearthing our Humanity at 3 Bagshot Row. It is a really nice read about yes, all things MiddleEarth, but also, all things Mimetic Theory. So, I encourage you to pick up a copy. Matthew is the author of many other books, including the wildly popular Heretic! and From the Blood of Abel. He is an audio engineer, the producer of the Heretic Happy Hour podcast, cohost of Apostates Anonymous, runs Quoir publishing, and is a regular columnist at Patheos. Find out more about Matthew at allsetfree.com. Meanwhile, if you are liking this show (and could you not?), why not leave some stars, or thumbs up, or whatever your particular podcasting provider is looking for? That would be nice. I hope you'll consider signing up for my newsletter on substack (that's right, jonathan_foster), and don't forget the brand new patreon page that is supporting a handful of podcasts connected through QuoirCast. Thanks everyone!  jonathan_foster substackjonathan_foster instagramlovehaiti.orgthecurian.network  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
