    Random Staircases in Forests & JRR Tolkien

    Welcome back to Oddities, the podcast where no topic is too *~*StRaNgE*~*!

    It's an Oddfam suggestion week! Join Cassie as she discusses how too far you would have to go to find a staircase in the forest and if that can be deemed normal. Then follow Anna as she talks about the backstory of the genius that brought us all Lord of the Rings and useless Frodo Baggins.

    Sometimes Reddit threads are not at all what they seem (but they're almost always interesting). And throw sugar cubes into people's hats (or whatever the harmless but fun equivalent of that is nowadays).

    Degrees of Abuse: Part 1: ‘[He] puts the perv in supervisor’

    He’s a famous professor at Oxford in the UK, one of the world’s most prestigious universities. But across three decades and three institutions, women have described him as a sexual predator. During a two-year investigation, Al Jazeera’s I-Unit uncovers systematic failures inside the walls of academia that have only served to protect their lecturers. We hear from women who are fighting to shift the balance of power.

    ಕಲ್ಪನಾದ್ಭುತ ಕಥೆಗಳು. The Worlds of Epic Fantasy

    ತಲೆ-ಹರಟೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ಪಾಡ್ಕಾಸ್ಟಿನ 112 ನೇ ಸಂಚಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗಣೇಶ್ ಹಾಗು ಪವನ್ ರವರು 'ಎಪಿಕ್ ಫ್ಯಾಂಟಸಿ' ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಚರ್ಚಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.

    ಎಪಿಕ್ ಫ್ಯಾಂಟಸಿ ಎಂಬುದು ಆಂಗ್ಲ ಭಾಷೆ ಮತ್ತು ಜಾಗತಿಕ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಕಾರವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಇದು ಪುರಾಣ, ಮ್ಯಾಜಿಕ್ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಸ್ಮಯದ ಹಳೆಯ ಕಥೆ ಹೇಳುವ ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯಗಳಿಂದ ಬಂದಿರಬೊಹುದು.

    ನಮ್ಮ ಈ ಸಂಚಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗಣೇಶ್ ಚಕ್ರವರ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪವನ್ ಶ್ರೀನಾಥ್ ಅವರು 'ಲಾರ್ಡ್ ಆಫ್ ದಿ ರಿಂಗ್ಸ್' ನಂತಹ ಕಥೆ ಸಾವಿರಾರು ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಕಥೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ರೂಪಿಸಿವೆ ಎಂದು ಚರ್ಚಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಅನೇಕ ಫ್ಯಾಂಟಸಿ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಗಳು 21 ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಬಜೆಟ್ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಟಿವಿ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮಗಳಾಗುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಇಂದು ಎಪಿಕ್ ಫ್ಯಾಂಟಸಿ, ನೆಟ್‌ಫ್ಲಿಕ್ಸ್, ಅಮೆಜಾನ್ ಪ್ರೈಮ್ ಮತ್ತು ಎಚ್.ಬಿ.ಒ ಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಪಂಚದಾದ್ಯಂತ ಹೊಸ ತಲೆಮಾರಿನ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳನ್ನು ಗಳಿಸಿದೆ. ಬನ್ನಿ ಕೇಳೋಣ.

    Hosts Ganesh and Pavan explore the rich worlds and stories of western Epic Fantasy, on Episode 112 of the Thale-Harate Kannada Podcast.

    Epic Fantasy is a genre of English and global literature that draws from old storytelling traditions of mythology, magic and wonder. Our hosts Ganesh Chakravarthi and Pavan Srinath explore how stories like The Lord of the Rings have shaped thousands of books and stories. Many such fantasy novels are becoming big-budget movies and TV shows in the 21st century. They have garnered a new generation of fans across the world, in the age of Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO.

    Caveworm: 2/2 (Fantasy Drama) - Story #9

    Reaching the elven town of Eldritch, it soon became clear to Lucky the troll that their kind was unwanted. Now, Lucky is set to face an even greater threat: a sect of zealous mages whose singular purpose is to bring about the extinction of the trollish race. Where has Lucky's sister-in-law Diaphony Le Viol disappeared to? How will trollish pacifism stand up to elven aggression? Find out how this family-friendly, queer fantasy epic concludes in Caveworm: Part Two. (This episode is part 2 of 2)

    Stories from the Hearth is an immersive storytelling experience featuring truly original fiction backed by thoughtfully produced soundscapes. The aim of this podcast is to rekindle its listeners' love for the ancient art of storytelling (and story-listening), and to bring some small escapism to the frantic energies of the modern world. Stories is the brainchild of queer punk poet, environmentalist, and anarchist Cal Bannerman. Vive l'art!

    024-subcreation for writers and creatives, with Keela Dee

    $ support this podcast $

    Keela Dee is a writer. She writes commercially for a employer and fiction and non-fiction in her own time. Years ago, Keel stumbled upon the concept of "subcreation", introduced by JRR Tolkien.  

    She explains how God is the ultimate Creator. Only He can create something out of nothing. All that we do is subscreation.

    What else we talk about:

    • Does what we create has to be Christian?
    • What about bad creations like porn or anything that doesn’t honor God? How did that come into existence?
    • The 4 questions every Christian doing some sort of creative work should ask him/herself
    • Fiction vs. non-fiction

    Enjoy!
