Enjoyed it, fellas. I’ll definitely put Beowulf on the TBR for this year. Coincidentally, just started a LOTR re-read so will be looking for Tolkien’s Beowulf lecture ASAP.
As for Gawain—I can heartily recommend the Simon Armitage translation, esp. the Audible version read by Bill Wallis.
I enjoyed this so much! And yes to the books & movie adaptations conversations - please and thank you.
You guys are so insightful, there was so much in the podcast that I didn’t see for myself and I felt like a whole new story had been opened to me. Thanks so much for all your work brining these to us!

Yesss, do it! I've been wanting to do a LOTR re-read for a while now. At some point I'll get around to it!
