Newly online free Mythmoot V recordings of talks<\/a>. Mostly these talks are of interest to Tolkien scholars, but there’s also an excellent hour with the great SF\/fantasy scholar Tom Shippey, titled “The Hero and the Zeitgeist”<\/a>. This ranges widely across the nature of heroes and the state of the culture, and is outstanding in both delivery and content.<\/p>\n

The playlist omits a good focussed 90-minute round-table<\/a> discussion of Tom’s new book on Vikings, titled Laughing Shall I Die: Lives and Deaths of the Great Vikings<\/em> (Reaktion, 2018), with the author.

As I mentioned here a few posts ago, for auto-downloading of YouTube playlists as .MP3 audio files on a desktop PC, I highly recommend MakeHuman’s Free YouTube to MP3 Converter<\/a>.
