Now that's some praise to receive and inspiration to provide. We thank you! (And for those curious, the orcs episode is number 23!)

One last reminder for tomorrow's show! Be there if you can!

from the By-the-Bywater live show last night! thanks to everyone who came out!

PHEW that was an event and a half! We all here at BtB thank *everyone* who came out to the live show in Portland this past Saturday as part of the Megaphonic FM live event. It'll be released a week from today -- what a treat to do! (And yes there was bingo.) #Tolkien

And our 50th episode, our live-in-Portland appearance, is now available! Wow what a great evening that was. Thanks again to EVERYONE who showed up, helped, attended, hosted and otherwise made that Megaphonic FM night so great! #Tolkien megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/50

(Should you be wondering, the previous RT sent just now was done with explicit intent on our part. And that's all we have to say about that news! For now.)

A little delayed here! But yes, we are back on the usual recording schedule -- look for episode 51 in early June!

Episode 51 out on Monday!

Episode 51 is live on Megaphonic FM! This time around we talked about the translation of "Sir Orfeo" -- what much we could talk about it since #Tolkien didn't really leave any notes. Art by Jared Pechaček as ever! megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/51

Episode 52 in the bag! Look for it in early July.

We thank you kindly! All down to Colleague Oriana!

Episode 52 of BtB is live on Megaphonic FM! Come listen to Colleague Oriana, Jared Pechaček and Ned Raggett talk _The Fall of Numenor_. (And do subscribe through your fave podcast setup.) Illustration by Jared as always! #Tolkien megaphonic.fm/bythebywater/52

Greetings everyone. Just an important note that By-the-Bywater is now on Bluesky; we know not everyone is there yet, but please join us when you can! (All three of us are now on there too.) #Tolkien

Indeed we will be, new episode on August 7th. (Separately, quick note that again if you're on Bluesky all three of your hosts are there, as well as the show itself!)

Just a quick note that Episode 53 is indeed out! At this point, we strongly suggest having a subscription to the podcast via whatever your preferred service is -- we're even on YouTube now! -- as this account will no longer be updated. Look for us on Bluesky...
